KUCHING, May 22: The Bintulu Transitioning Industrial Cluster (TIC) is set to be launched at the upcoming Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Conference and Exhibition (APGH) 2026 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) from June 9-11.
According to a press release, with global energy markets facing volatility and climate pressures intensifying, APGH 2026 is positioned as the platform where policy, capital, and projects converge to make green hydrogen commercially viable at scale.
“The world is at an inflection point, where energy markets and climate pressures are driving a return to solutions that are clean, secure, and sustainable.
“Green hydrogen is no longer a concept but a bridge to a net-zero future,” said Datuk Dr Hazland Abang Hipni, who is Deputy Minister of Energy and Environmental Sustainability.
“Sarawak is ready, with renewable hydropower and the SCORE (Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy) corridor enabling large-scale green hydrogen production. We are not waiting for the future; we are building it.
“APGH will be the platform where dialogue becomes bankable projects, where policy meets capital, and where hydrogen moves from potential to real impact, accelerating the energy transition together with government and industry partners,” he said following a meeting with the event’s steering committee.
On May 20, while delivering his winding-up speech at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) sitting, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said that the Bintulu TIC will be launched on June 11.
APGH 2026 will gather governments, industry leaders, investors, and technology providers from across the Asia Pacific to accelerate the development and deployment of green hydrogen as a cornerstone of the region’s energy transition.
There will also be a fireside chat with the Premier, alongside plenary and panel sessions covering the current energy landscape, green and sustainable initiatives, and business networking opportunities throughout the three-day programme.
A key milestone will be the launch of the Sarawak TIC: Malaysia’s First World Economic Forum (WEF) Industrial Transformation Initiative, led by MYCentre4IR in collaboration with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and in close partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Sustainability Sarawak.
“The launch of TIC Sarawak marks an important milestone in positioning Sarawak as Malaysia’s first industrial transition cluster under the WEF framework, while also supporting national development priorities under the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan (13MP), National 4IR Policy (N4IRP), Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint (MD2030), National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030), and the Sarawak Energy Transition Policy (SET-P),” said the press release.
Meanwhile, the exhibition zone will be open to the public and feature technology talks by exhibitors showcasing electrolysers, storage systems, transport solutions, and downstream hydrogen applications in power, transport, and heavy industry.
