Malaysia's Ambitious Green Hydrogen Project in Kota Marudu
Key Ideas
- A 10 GW green hydrogen production facility is planned in Kota Marudu, Malaysia, aiming to generate 250,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually.
- The project, fueled by solar and wind energy, is expected to create a green industrial park, leveraging Kota Marudu's solar irradiance and wind speeds.
- Partnerships between LBS Bina Group, Invest Sabah, SAFODA, and Midwest Green will drive land surveys and consortium establishment for optimal site selection.
- The initiative not only aligns with Malaysia's green energy agenda but also sets the stage for Sabah to become a key player in the renewable energy sector.
Malaysian companies LBS Bina Group Berhad, Invest Sabah Berhad, Sabah Forestry Development Authority (SAFODA), and Midwest Green have joined forces to establish a groundbreaking green hydrogen production facility in Kota Marudu, Malaysia. This facility, set to produce 10 GW of green hydrogen annually, will be powered by solar and wind energy on a site spanning 15,000 to 30,000 acres. The strategic location of Kota Marudu, with its high solar irradiance levels and consistent wind speeds, promises efficient energy generation capabilities, further bolstered by its proximity to seaports for export logistics.
The memorandum of understanding signed between the involved parties outlines plans for land surveys, site inspections, and the formation of a consortium structure to engage local and international stakeholders. LBS Bina Group will take the lead as the master developer, emphasizing sustainable growth and innovation in the green energy sector. The project is anticipated to catalyze the establishment of green industrial parks, offering economic benefits and job opportunities for the local population.
Tan Sri Dato Sri’ Ir. (Dr) Lim Hock San, LBS Group Executive Chairman, expressed optimism about the venture, highlighting its contribution to sustainable development and Malaysia's green energy objectives. The collaborative efforts of the partners signify a significant step towards positioning Sabah as a prominent figure in renewable energy. The initiative not only underscores a commitment to environmental sustainability but also heralds a new era of growth and prosperity for the region.
