Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Tun Openg is aiming to emulate Singapore's success by transitioning state-owned oil and gas company Petros into a sovereign wealth fund to drive economic diversification, with a specific focus on low-carbon green hydrogen. This move reflects the government's commitment to positioning Sarawak as a key player in the global energy transition. By establishing Petros as the sole gas aggregator in Sarawak, the state resolves longstanding disputes over extraction rights and signals its strategic importance in the region's economic landscape. Sarawak is strategically positioning itself as a regional hub for green hydrogen, leveraging its abundant natural resources. Premier Johari outlined plans to develop a hydrogen certification platform to enhance transparency and market integrity, aiming to attract both local and foreign investments in hydrogen-related technologies. The government's efforts are supported by international collaborations with South Korean and Japanese partners, showcasing growing confidence from foreign investors in Sarawak's green hydrogen potential. Despite initial challenges such as high costs and limited demand, Sarawak remains optimistic about the future of green hydrogen, especially in transportation. Premier Johari highlighted the potential for low-carbon hydrogen to drive the voluntary carbon market, positioning Sarawak as a regional leader in sustainable energy. Overall, Sarawak's ambitious plans and strategic partnerships demonstrate a positive outlook on the role of green hydrogen in the state's economic development.
