Sarawak's Bold Move: Revolutionizing Hydrogen Production with Japanese Partners
Key Ideas
  • Sarawak government collaborates with ENEOS Corp to develop a competitive supply chain for clean hydrogen production through methylcyclohexane (MCH), aiming to reduce production costs.
  • H2ornbill Train and H2biscus projects, in partnership with Japanese and South Korean companies, are set to produce green hydrogen derivatives for domestic use and export by 2027.
  • Initiatives also include developing hydrogen economy, enhancing energy systems, and exploring opportunities with global giants like Mitsubishi Power, Tokyo Gas, and Boeing for future growth.
  • Sarawak Premier's visit to Japan signifies a key step towards aligning hydrogen aspirations, strengthening eco-friendly energy sources, and fostering collaborations in multiple sectors.
The Sarawak government is making significant strides in revolutionizing hydrogen production in collaboration with Japan's ENEOS Corp. By delving into the joint development of methylcyclohexane (MCH) as part of the hydrogen supply chain, this partnership aims to drive down hydrogen production costs. This initiative marks a crucial step towards enhancing Sarawak's green hydrogen economy. Two major projects, H2ornbill Train and H2biscus, are in progress with the involvement of Japanese and South Korean companies, set to produce green hydrogen derivatives for both domestic consumption and export by 2027. These ventures signify a bold move towards sustainable energy practices and economic growth. Additionally, plans for a hydrogen production plant and refueling station in Kota Samarahan highlight Sarawak's commitment to innovative transportation solutions. The visit to Japan, led by Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Tun Openg, not only explores technological advancements but also aims to strengthen global collaborations. Discussions with key industry players like Mitsubishi Power and Tokyo Gas focus on advancing hydrogen technologies and fostering shared growth opportunities. The enthusiastic engagement with international partners and exploration of diverse sectors including aviation fuel and renewable energy showcases Sarawak's dedication to a greener future and sustainable development.
