The Malaysian state of Sarawak is poised to accelerate the growth of its hydrogen economy with the launch of the Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Conference & Exhibition (APGH) 2024. Set to take place 11-13 June 2024 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, Sarawak, this event is set to propel the destination to the forefront of the green hydrogen revolution.
In the Asia Pacific region, the demand for green hydrogen is expected to grow by 50% per year over the next decade. As such, there is a need to ramp up the development and construction of Green Hydrogen plants.
“Through APGH 2024, we will bring together leading experts from around the world to discuss the latest developments in green hydrogen, especially in the technology, policy, regulation and infrastructure development space. APGH 2024 will also provide a platform for businesses to network and explore opportunities for collaboration. I am also excited about the opportunity for our youths to take advantage of this platform to discover their passion and opportunities in clean energy, the energy transition and green hydrogen,” said YB Dr Haji Hazland bin Abang Hipni, deputy minister for energy and environmental sustainability Sarawak, at the launch of the event in Kuala Lumpur.
Tan Sri Asmat Bin Kamaludin, chairman of Borneo Business Connect, said that the event aims to position Sarawak at the forefront of the Green Hydrogen Economy, to draw investors, collaborators, industry partners, researchers, and delegates with the objective to develop and growing green hydrogen, fuel cell, and renewable energy-related business ecosystem. He added that it would be a conducive platform and enabler for government investors and government-private sector partnerships for mutual benefits.
During the launch event, OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad (OCBC Bank) solidified its commitment to sustainability and decarbonisation by becoming the Exclusive Financial Institution Partner for APGH 2024.
Anticipated to attract 100 exhibitors, 500 conference delegates and 4,000 trade visitors, APGH 2024 is organised by Borneo Business Connect Sdn Bhd, a DSA company, and supported by the Ministry of Energy and Sustainability Sarawak and Business Events Sarawak.
