SARAWAK METRO HIGHLIGHTS LATEST HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY IN ENGAGEMENTS

KUCHING, March 15 (Bernama) -- Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd, as one of the key players in the local hydrogen economy, considers creating greater public awareness of the ‘fuel of the future’ as one of its biggest responsibilities.

Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Mazli Mustaffa in a statement today said one of the main ways in which it creates this awareness is through public engagements.

“During these events, we are given a great opportunity to share the latest information about our Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project and even more crucially we also get to share about some of the latest developments on hydrogen technology, especially for public transport that is happening all over the world.

“These latest developments really inspire and motivate all of us at Sarawak Metro and I hope it brings inspiration to the people we meet as well,” he said in conjunction with Sarawak Metro’s participation as a speaker at a programme themed ‘Ecofrontiers: Tech That Saves The Planet 2025’ organised by Petrosains here, today.

He highlighted that one of the latest developments in hydrogen mobility was the recent announcement in India about the upcoming launch of ‘the most powerful hydrogen train’, which marked a significant leap in sustainable railway technology.

Apart from that, Mazli mentioned that countries such as South Korea, China and Japan also continue to be sources of inspiration and motivation for Sarawak Metro, especially as those nations persevere with their efforts to develop the hydrogen economy in their journey towards net zero emissions.

He pointed out that developments in the global hydrogen economy and hydrogen mobility also continue to achieve new milestones in Europe and the Americas.

“Of course, as we monitor the industry closely, we have also discovered that some countries, regions, cities or organisations are still not quite ready to fully embrace this zero-emission technology.

“We fully understand that each one of them face their own unique challenges and as such it would be unfair to compare their situation with ours here in Sarawak,” he said.
