Sarawak has reaffirmed its position as a regional hydrogen hub with the launch of the Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Conference and Exhibition (APGH) 2026. The event, inaugurated by Sarawak’s Premier, Abang Johari Tun Openg, underscores the region’s commitment to advancing hydrogen development and supporting the global energy transition.
The three-day conference, themed “Empowering The Future: Delivering a Resilient Hydrogen Ecosystem,” gathers policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and technology experts to explore the hydrogen economy’s opportunities and challenges across the Asia-Pacific. Hosted by the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Sustainability Sarawak, in collaboration with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the event is organised by Borneo Business Connect Sdn Bhd, with support from Business Events Sarawak and the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau.
A key highlight was the Visionary Dialogue featuring the Premier of Sarawak, moderated by Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director Emeritus of the International Energy Agency. The Premier outlined Sarawak’s strategy to leverage its renewable energy resources, including hydropower, natural gas, water, and biomass, to position itself as a clean energy hub. He emphasised the importance of regional energy integration and cross-border electricity export initiatives, aiming for up to 10GW of electricity exports by 2030.
The conference continues with sessions on policy development, technology innovation, and industry collaboration, aiming to strengthen regional cooperation and accelerate the development of a sustainable hydrogen value chain in the Asia-Pacific region.
