KUCHING, June 26 (Bernama) -- Australia is keen to collaborate with Sarawak, particularly in the area of technical expertise and knowledge exchange, where the state’s progressive approach is seen as a valuable asset in shaping a sustainable energy future.
Sarawak Deputy Minister for Energy and Environmental Sustainability, Datuk Dr Hazland Abang Hipni, said this intention was expressed by Australia’s Northern Territory Minister for Trade, Business and Asian Relations, Robyn Cahill, who paid a courtesy call on him yesterday.
“The meeting centred on potential areas of collaboration between Sarawak and Australia in the field of energy and environmental sustainability,” he said in a statement today.
Hazland said that during their discussion, he also shared Sarawak’s key initiatives under his ministry, including Sarawak Energy Transition Roadmap (SET-P), Sarawak Sustainability Blueprint 2030 (SSB) and Sarawak Hydrogen Economy Roadmap (SHER), which form the framework for the state’s transition towards a green economy.
According to him, they also discussed opportunities for capacity building, industry-academia partnerships, pilot projects in areas such as hydrogen production, carbon capture and nature-based solutions.
“The meeting marks another step forward in strengthening Sarawak’s global ties in environmental sustainability and reaffirms the state’s commitment to international cooperation in addressing climate and energy challenges,” he added.
