Sarawak's Hydrogen Revolution: Fuelling Green Transport and International Partnerships
Key Ideas
  • The Rembus H2 Plant in Kota Samarahan will produce 1,825 tonnes of hydrogen annually, supporting hydrogen-based transportation in the region.
  • Sarawak Hydrogen Hub partners with Japanese and Korean consortia for international projects, aiming to export 200,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2028.
  • Sarawak is committed to diversifying its energy portfolio through hydrogen projects, including pilot trials for hydrogen-powered buses.
  • Emphasis on long-term sustainability goals highlights Sarawak's dedication to advancing its hydrogen economy.
The Rembus H2 Plant in Kota Samarahan, Malaysia, is set to become a key player in promoting hydrogen-based transportation in the region, with an annual production capacity of 1,825 tonnes of hydrogen. Spearheaded by SEDC Energy Sdn Bhd, the plant will serve as a crucial hydrogen supply and refueling center for the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project. Minister Julaihi Narawi highlighted at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly the strategic partnerships of the Sarawak Hydrogen Hub with the H2Hornbill Project led by a Japanese consortium and the H2Hibiscus Project by a Korean consortium. These collaborations aim to export 200,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to Japan and South Korea by 2028. Moreover, a significant portion of green hydrogen will be allocated for local consumption. The state of Sarawak has been actively pursuing hydrogen projects since 2017, with pilot trials for hydrogen-powered buses being a notable accomplishment in the transition towards clean energy. These initiatives demonstrate Sarawak's dedication to advancing its hydrogen economy and achieving sustainable energy goals.
