KUCHING, Jan 22: The Special Select Committee on Environment, Science, and Plantations (JKPK ASSP) commends Sarawak’s progress in advancing its green energy industry and hopes other states can follow Sarawak’s example.
In a news report by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas), JKPK ASSP paid a courtesy call on Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, at Wisma Bapa Malaysia today with the aim to exchange views on key environmental and scientific advancements, particularly on Sarawak’s pioneering efforts in hydrogen technology.
“We visited Sarawak to explore developments in hydrogen technology, an area where Sarawak has taken the lead.
“Our delegation visited the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) and Sarawak Energy Bhd to receive briefings on hydrogen technology and observe pilot projects, including hydrogen-powered buses and cars,” JKPK ASSP chairman, Datuk Ahmad Amzad Mohamed @ Hashim said when met by reporters after the courtesy call.
Ahmad Amzad also praised Sarawak’s strategic investment in hydrogen technology, emphasising its relevance in addressing future energy demands while reducing reliance on carbon-emitting energy sources.
According to him, Sarawak has made commendable progress in green energy, achieving significant percentages of energy production from carbon-free sources like hydrogen and hydroelectricity.
“This is an initiative we aim to highlight so that, at the national level, other states can follow Sarawak’s example,” he added.
