KUCHING: State-owned Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) has teamed up with Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) to explore the commercial production of green hydrogen and its value supply chain in Asia.

The tie-up marks a major milestone in Sarawak’s efforts to scale up and venture into energy export with hydrogen as an energy carrier. This is to meet global clean energy demand and to position Sarawak as the hub for the hydrogen value chain.
