Amid global energy policy shifts, Sarawak emerges as a key player in ASEAN's energy transition, focusing on low-carbon hydrogen, gas security, and carbon capture and storage. By establishing Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros), Sarawak aims to secure control over local gas distributions, impacting Petronas' earnings but reinforcing its resource governance role. The state's energy governance evolution highlights the importance of balancing regional and national priorities while emphasizing transparent dialogue and policy alignment. Sarawak's strategic move to capitalize on hydropower and gas assets positions it as a competitive player in the emerging low-carbon hydrogen economy. As Sarawak plans a renewable energy export to Singapore, challenges arise in ensuring domestic supply while meeting export targets. The state faces competition from Vietnam in the renewable energy sector. Sarawak's focus on natural gas and CCS plays a crucial role in its energy security and transition to a low-carbon future. Despite challenges in transitioning to green hydrogen, Sarawak is strategically forming international partnerships and exploring financing mechanisms to solidify its position as Southeast Asia's hydrogen hub. The state recognizes the importance of workforce development and financial sustainability in executing its clean energy ambitions.
