In a strategic move set to reposition Sarawak as a focal point in the hydrogen industry, Chloroplant has secured a $17 million investment deal to establish a 10 MW hydrogen plant.
Enticing investors towards Sarawak, Chloroplant’s project capitalizes on the region’s abundant water and renewable energy resources, which are critical for efficient hydrogen production. The plant aims to exploit hydropower’s untapped potential, thereby reducing costs associated with hydrogen generation. This initiative responds directly to the energy sector’s call for green solutions, as the International Energy Agency notes a significant rise in hydrogen-based projects, with an expected increase in global production capacities by approximately 8% annually.
Chloroplant’s commitment also extends beyond production; the project will contribute to job creation in Sarawak, fostering expertise within the local workforce. As part of its strategic approach, the company intends to collaborate with local educational institutions, offering training programs designed to equip the next generation of energy professionals with the skills necessary to lead in the evolving energy landscape. Such initiatives correlate with global trends showing an annual 5% growth in jobs related to the hydrogen sector, a significant aspect for economic growth in regions investing in this type of renewable energy.
