“Sarawak is also building a hydro dam in Kalimantan to supply green energy to Nusantara, the new capital of Indonesia,” he said in his address at the Invest Asean forum held during the Asean Australia Special Summit in Melbourne, Australia last Thursday.
Meanwhile, Chan in a press statement said it is timely and appropriate for Sarawak to be involved in the hosting of the Asean events next year so as to showcase the state’s potential as the hub for green hydrogen production and development.“Sarawak has among the world’s oldest rainforest of over 140 million years old offering rich biodiversity and green energy potential, of which over 70 per cent of the total energy generation mix in Sarawak is from renewable energy,” he said.
