Malaysia is striving to become a prominent hydrogen economy by 2050, with a focus on leveraging Sarawak's hydroelectric projects and innovative waste-to-energy solutions. Despite hydrogen's abundance, its extraction remains a challenge, especially due to high production costs compared to fossil fuels. The country faces waste accumulation issues, generating opportunities to convert various waste sources like food waste, plastics, and palm oil waste into green hydrogen. Innovations in waste-to-energy technologies include anaerobic digestion, gasification of plastics, and utilizing palm oil industry waste for turquoise hydrogen production. Research on converting pulp and paper sludge into hydrogen-methane further showcases Malaysia's commitment to sustainable energy practices. While initial investments are substantial, advancements in technology offer promising pathways for Malaysia to attain its green hydrogen aspirations while addressing environmental concerns and promoting economic growth.
