Sarawak, a key player in the energy sector, is significantly advancing its efforts to scale up green hydrogen production, driven by its abundant hydropower resources. This initiative is designed to meet the growing demand for clean, renewable energy, both locally and across the broader ASEAN region. The company’s push into green hydrogen production positions it as a leader in the clean energy transition, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, where sustainable solutions are increasingly in demand.

The company’s commitment to green hydrogen production aligns with global efforts to decarbonize industries and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Traditionally, hydrogen has been produced from natural gas in a process that generates significant greenhouse gas emissions.

However, green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources like hydropower, presents an environmentally friendly alternative. By transitioning to green hydrogen, the company aims to lower carbon emissions, reduce environmental impact, and help meet sustainability goals, while contributing to regional clean energy security.

Strategic partnerships play a crucial role in the company’s success. Collaborations with international clean energy leaders, such as Japan, South Korea, and China, have helped expand its green hydrogen supply chain.

These partnerships enable the integration of advanced technologies like Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), which capture and store CO2 emissions, allowing for a more sustainable hydrogen production process. By leveraging CCUS technology, the company creates a circular carbon economy, making it a key player in reducing emissions and supporting global climate goals.

To further boost its position as a clean energy powerhouse, the company has set ambitious targets for expanding its electricity generation capacity. Plans include reaching 10 gigawatts (GW) of electricity generation by 2030, with a further increase to 15 GW by 2035. This expansion is part of a larger vision to establish the company as a green energy leader in the ASEAN region, enhancing its ability to support local industries, develop green technologies, and export clean energy to neighbouring countries.

As the company focuses on scaling up green hydrogen production, it is also working on optimizing energy storage solutions to ensure a reliable and efficient energy distribution network. The company’s participation in initiatives like the ASEAN Power Grid will help enhance cross-border energy interconnectivity and improve regional energy security.

In addition to its technological advancements, the company is supported by strong policy frameworks that align with its sustainable development goals. Sarawak's Post COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030 outlines a clear roadmap for achieving prosperity, inclusivity, and environmental sustainability, positioning the company as a central player in the region's transition to clean, renewable energy.

With its continued investment in green hydrogen and renewable energy, the company is set to play a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable energy future, driving the global transition to low-carbon solutions and contributing to regional and global climate goals.
