Utterly bollock. By product of hydrogen production is oxygen.

ouch that butthurtness

Sarawak don't owe semenanjung, could sell to whoever gives a higher price.

Lol, that's only true if they use water to extract those hydrogen, but by doing that would be bad for long term, you will be depleting fresh water supply.

ouch that butthurtness

Nobody says you owe semenanjung

Original bakun federal project was supposed to supply back excess to Semenanjung for a fair price not unlike other ipp suppliers via submarine cables but the economic crisis shelved the submarine cable part.

They later wanted to revive it as there was excess supply of electricity and only TNB and GLCs willing to undertake the project to lay the cables. But iinm it cost too much

So if Sarawak can find ways to use it up all the best. I don't know if you can find other buyers who can give you the sweet spot of high price and also footing the infra bill for the cables

water splitting uses a lot of energy and also not efficient.

this is just another wayang from sarawak to say they're green and shit

you know whats the best? nuclear energy

Nao Jin Shui. Do you know how much H2 could be produced from 1m3 of water?

Sg offer higher KW.h rate than tnb.

You have no idea of demand for green hydrogen.

Nobody has a natural gas tank at home.

Natural gas is mostly methane (CH4), very costly to liquify.

The cooking gas we have at home is LPG (liquified petroleum gas) are mostly propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10), which are far bigger molecules than methane, which is why they could be economically liquified.

On top the wasteful energy needed to split water, storing and transporting hydrogen are also very energy wasteful.

LPG has more energy than hydrogen and everyone has at least a tank at home.

The objective of green hydrogen is to reduce carbon footprint.

Look back at your initial response lah. It was about volatility, i.e. far easier to kaboom because hydrogen escapes confinement very easily, never about energy density.

How to reduce carbon footprint if storing and transporting "green" hydrogen are going to use a lot of fossil fuels?

Ya, i butthurted as Sarawakian. While highlighted these issues (which also happened during Pek Moh era)

likely to fail....

So transporting EV's with fossil fuels how?

East msia is known for LNG. Suddenly hydrogen. Kek

Like sendiri got chicken farm, then suddenly says duck is better.

Before East Malaysia was known for LNG, it was known for pineapples and pepper.

Guess back then someone also said that sendiri got chicken farm, then suddenly says duck is better

Can't wait to trade in my hilux for a hilux H2.

Transport green H2 in ammonia is a solution.

Sarawak aims to be Asean's leading green energy hub

SIBU: Sarawak is positioning itself as the leading hub for renewable energy in the Asean region, with a comprehensive development strategy that focuses on economic prosperity, social inclusivity and environmental sustainability.

Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg said Sarawak's transition into a green economy is well underway, driven by technological innovation, renewable resources and a strong commitment to sustainability.

"Our development strategy rests on three pillars – economic prosperity, social inclusivity and environmental sustainability. I am proud to say that Sarawakians have responded positively to this direction," he said at the Rimbunan Hijau Group of Companies' 50th anniversary celebration on Tuesday (May 13) night.

He highlighted the state's progression from a digital economy to one centred on green energy, particularly renewable sources such as hydrogen, supported by artificial intelligence and digitalisation.

"After introducing our digital economy, we migrated to what we call real green energy. Now we are focusing on renewable energy. Using AI and digitalisation enhances this new era of our economic strategy," he said.

Abang Johari stressed that Sarawak's abundance of natural resources provides a competitive advantage in renewable energy production.

"We are fortunate to be blessed with water and gas resources that enable the extraction of hydrogen – the cleanest form of energy – to replace fossil fuels. Hydrogen from water and methane offers us a viable alternative fuel to power our economy," he said.

He added that Sarawak's ultimate goal is to become the hub of renewable energy in Asean through the "Asean Green" initiative.

"We must align our economy with ESG principles. We have the resources, but what is crucial now is the development of our human capital," he said.

Reflecting on a recent engagement with the London School of Economics, Abang Johari shared that international academics recognised Sarawak's potential.

"The professors at LSE said we are very fortunate in our part of the world – Borneo and Sarawak – because we possess what is now termed 'natural capital': untouched forests acting as carbon sinks, abundant hydrogen potential and people who can be trained."

He said the synergy between natural capital and human capital, driven by innovation and entrepreneurship, would allow Sarawak to thrive in the green economy.

"With the success of initiatives like Rimbunan Hijau and our continued focus on green development, I am confident Sarawak will become 'hijau, hijau, hijau' (green) for the world economy," he said.
