In Kuching, Malaysia, the Distribution of Gas (Amendment) Bill 2024 is set to undergo significant changes by incorporating sections and subsections specifically related to hydrogen. Lingga assemblywoman Dayang Noorazah Awang Sohor emphasized the importance of these amendments, particularly highlighting Section 19A, which focuses on the appointment of regulators for hydrogen-related activities. She stressed the role of regulation in expanding Sarawak's hydrogen economy, ensuring income growth, and supporting the Post Covid-19 Development Strategy (PCDS 2030). The bill aims to establish a legal framework to promote hydrogen use and develop an organized structure for the hydrogen supply chain, encompassing production, transportation, storage, and utilization. By prioritizing the Sarawak Hydrogen Economy Roadmap in legal considerations, these amendments are seen as a promising step forward in addressing current challenges. Dayang Noorazah underscored the importance of embracing green-based technology, particularly hydrogen, to drive economic growth. She advocated for research, development, and government funding to maintain Sarawak's competitive edge in the hydrogen technology sector and achieve ambitious hydrogen generation goals. This strategic approach is crucial for Sarawak to lead the transition towards a sustainable economy and capitalize on the growth opportunities associated with hydrogen technology.
