Scotland and Malaysia Join Forces for Green Hydrogen Breakthrough in Sarawak
Kuching, Thursday, 17 July 2025.
Logan Energy partners with H2 Energy to boost Sarawak’s green hydrogen infrastructure, aligning with sustainable growth goals. This collaboration spotlights a clean energy transition and economic renewal post-pandemic.
A Promising Partnership
The strategic partnership between Logan Energy in Scotland and Malaysia’s H2 Energy represents a significant step forward in green hydrogen technology for Sarawak. Signed at the International Energy Week 2025 in Kuching, the MoU underscores Sarawak’s commitment to its Post COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030, which aims to position the state as a leader in renewable energy and low-carbon technologies [1].
Focus Areas and Intentions
This collaboration aims to revolutionise green hydrogen production, expand rural electrification, and promote hydrogen mobility in Sarawak. By exploring technology transfers and local manufacturing, the partnership opens opportunities for both environmental and economic gains [3]. It’s like finding a treasure chest of potential jobs and technological advancement, with the environment standing to gain as much as local communities [2].
Key Figures and Ceremonies
The ceremony witnessed by the Premier of Sarawak, alongside deputy premiers and industry leaders, was a testament to the high hopes resting on this deal. Representatives from both Logan Energy and H2 Energy expressed their enthusiasm for driving this energy transition and shared goals of making Sarawak a hub for green hydrogen in Southeast Asia [1][3]. With a room full of dignitaries and an air of optimism, it felt like the start of an exciting new chapter.
Strategic Benefits
Combining Logan Energy’s extensive hydrogen expertise with H2 Energy’s local knowledge is set to make Sarawak a leader in ASEAN’s hydrogen economy [1][3]. By tapping into these combined strengths, this venture not only aligns with environmental goals but also promises a substantial number of skilled jobs - a win-win for the economy and sustainability [2].
Initiatives and Future Prospects
The pilot projects will prioritize benefits for Sarawak’s rural areas and public transport systems, with a particular focus on key industrial sectors. This ambitious venture, supported by international partnerships and investments, aims to decarbonize energy production and consumption [1][3]. Efforts like this could very well serve as a blueprint for other regions looking to tread a similar green path, much like how you might set your satnav to ‘carbon neutral’.
