Malaysia's Semarak RE and PowerChina to Develop Groundbreaking Green Hydrogen Project

Jan 24, 2024 03:15 PM ET
  • Semarak RE and China Hydropower join forces to develop Malaysia's first large-scale green hydrogen project, utilizing floating photovoltaic power generation. PowerChina will provide expertise and support. Global hydrogen production set to soar by 2030.

Malaysian company Semarak Renewable Energy (RE) and China Hydropower (Malaysia) have signed an agreement to develop Malaysia's first large-scale green hydrogen production project. The project, worth MYR1.88 billion ($398 million), will be located in Perak and will involve the use of floating photovoltaic power generation for green hydrogen production and storage. PowerChina, the subsidiary of China Hydropower, will leverage its expertise in new energy to support Semarak RE in becoming a developer of the green hydrogen energy industry in Malaysia. A recent study by Roland Berger estimates that global hydrogen production will increase to 110 million metric tons per year by 2030, with around 12% of that being green hydrogen produced using renewable energies.
