Sarawak, a state in Malaysia, is pushing forward with its ambitions to establish itself as a leader in green hydrogen production. A major step towards this goal is the recent $17 million engineering, procurement, and construction contract awarded to ChloroPlant to build a 10MW green hydrogen plant. The project, undertaken in collaboration with H1Hydro Group, a Singapore-based clean energy investment firm, will leverage European electrolysis technology to ensure efficient operations. The plant is expected to kick off operations in the first quarter of 2026, with a specific focus on maintaining competitive production costs compared to other facilities in the Asia-Pacific region. Sarawak's strategic location, coupled with its abundant hydropower resources, positions it well to become a prominent clean energy hub in Asia. The state plans to capitalize on this advantage by not only meeting local energy demands but also by venturing into hydrogen exports, particularly targeting markets in Northeast Asia like South Korea and Japan. The Malaysian government has set ambitious targets, aiming to produce two million tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2030 and scaling up to 16 million tonnes by 2050 as part of its Economy and Technology Roadmap. While the immediate focus will be on transitioning from grey to blue hydrogen, Sarawak's long-term vision underscores a shift towards green hydrogen, aligning with global sustainability goals.
