The Sarawak government is investigating the possibility of graphite production from biomass by examining mineral mining practices and legislation in Canada, known for its environmentally friendly approach to mining. Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg mentioned that the delegation's findings from Canada would complement existing studies on minerals in Sarawak to prevent over-exploitation. He emphasized the importance of graphite as a crucial component for hydrogen fuel cells and highlighted the revenue potential from graphite production. With the estimated value of minerals in Sarawak at RM1.25 trillion, there is significant economic promise in exploring graphite production from the region's biomass resources.
