KUCHING: Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg on Thursday launched Sarawak’s and the nation’s first electrolyser assembly and distribution facility at Demak Laut Industrial Park here.
Set as a mass electrolyser production hub, the Sarawak Electrolyser Assembly and Distribution Facility is also said to be one of the first in Southeast Asia to incorporate an automated assembly line.Abang Johari said the facility brings Sarawak closer to achieving its aspiration as a hydrogen hub in the region and will make green hydrogen into a cost-effective energy source option for consumers.
“I first saw this when I visited the Petronas research centre in Bangi in 2022. Following my visit, I requested that Petronas share this technology with us.“Now, through collaboration with Sarawak Economic Development Corporation Energy, we are able to establish this assembly plant. This plant not only meets domestic demands but also supplies for users outside Sarawak,” he said.
“Portable hydrogen generators could replace diesel, providing cleaner energy and reducing pollution. This new technology offers an alternative to SRS which relies on solar power. If hydrogen technology proves cost-effective and sustainable, it could replace solar solutions in rural areas. Meanwhile, SEDC Chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Abdul Aziz Husain said SEDC Energy will be working together with its partners to produce electrolysers to meet the growing demands for hydrogen through the SEA-DF.“But we have also orders not only from Sarawak but also outside the country. We will be shipping three electrolysers before the end of this year to another country and further orders will also be coming in,” he said in his welcoming remarks.
