Hydropower

Sarawak advances SDG and ESG via PCDS 2030, leveraging hydropower, hydrogen, and carbon capture to attract green investment. However, critical challenges persist in governance transparency, indigenous rights, social equity, and over-reliance on unproven technologies, threatening the credibility and inclusivity of its sustainability transition. This tension is further complicated by the legacy of its timber and oil palm sectors, which have drawn sharp local and international criticism but are now undergoing significant reform efforts aimed at aligning with global ESG standards.

Sarawak’s hydrogen roadmap charts a bold transition toward a green economy, leveraging renewable energy for export, innovation, and sustainability while navigating challenges in technology, infrastructure, and market development.

Blessed with abundance of natural resources, Sarawak is committed to environmental sustainability and the energy transition by leveraging on clean, renewable, and green energy.
