KUCHING, Jan 31 — The cost of producing hydrogen is expected to decrease within the next 10 years, spearheading Sarawak’s hydrogen economy agenda, says Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.

He said at present, as much as 60 kilowatts of electricity is required for the electrolysis process to produce one kilogramme of hydrogen, and that the amount could be reduced with more effective and cheaper technology.

According to Abang Johari, the Sarawak state government is also working with Petronas to produce one kilogramme of hydrogen using 38 kilowatts of electricity.

“This means we can lower the price (cost of hydrogen production) by up to 50 per cent.

“If this happens, the electrolysis process (for hydrogen production) can be done in mass production and the use of electricity can also be reduced,” he said during his speech at the Electric Vehicles (EV) Adoption event here today. — Bernama
