KUCHING, Nov 20: Sarawak is home to the world’s first large-scale Napier grass biomass pellet manufacturer and exporter.
In stating this, Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said Sarawak is already selling these pellets to Drax Power Station in the United Kingdom.
“Napier grass, which grows rapidly and requires minimal replanting, offers applications beyond energy, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), fertilisers, and animal feed, promoting a circular economy while enhancing energy and food security,” he said when presenting his ministerial winding-up speech in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) sitting here today.
Abang Johari who is also the Minister for Finance and New Economy and Gedong assemblyman (GPS-PBB) further said Sarawak must dare to look beyond its 2030 target for renewable energy.
“This is not the end of our journey but merely a milestone in a much larger vision.
“Sarawak is exploring innovative renewable solutions like Ocean Energy Systems, which harness tidal, wave, and ocean thermal energy,” he added. — DayakDaily
