Kuala Lumpur: 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.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Mazli Mustaffa stated that one of the main ways in which the company creates this awareness is through public engagements. These events provide an opportunity to share the latest information about the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project and developments in hydrogen technology for public transport globally.

Mazli emphasized that one significant development in hydrogen mobility was the recent announcement in India regarding the launch of ‘the most powerful hydrogen train’, representing a leap in sustainable railway technology. He also acknowledged that countries like South Korea, China, and Japan continue to inspire Sarawak Metro with their persistent efforts to develop the hydrogen economy and strive towards net zero emissions.

Beyond Asia, Mazli noted that the global hydrogen economy and mobility continue to reach new milestones in Europe and the Americas. He also recognized that some regions are not yet ready to fully embrace zero-emission technology due to unique challenges, which should not be compared to the situation in Sarawak.
