It gives me great honour to introduce the upcoming inaugural Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Conference & Exhibition 2024 (APGH2024) to be held in Kuching, Sarawak from 10th to 12th June 2024. Here, in the heart of Sarawak, a pioneering land of lush rainforests and boundless innovation, we stand at the precipice of a revolution: the rise of green hydrogen as the fuel of tomorrow.

Sarawak is striving to become a Regional Hub for Green Hydrogen and a catalyst for climate change and environmental sustainability. Our region is blessed with stable natural resources such as water, solar, wind, and biomass, which are our greatest strengths.

We are moving to take specific, measurable steps, beginning with the development of a comprehensive green hydrogen ecosystem. This will involve every aspect of the green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization processes.

Through APGH 2024, we will delve into the intricate tapestry of opportunities and challenges that lie before us. We will hear from industry titans, cutting-edge researchers, and visionary policymakers, all united by a common purpose: to unlock the full potential of green hydrogen and pave the way for a cleaner, greener future.

Sarawak is not alone in this endeavour. We are part of a larger movement, a tide of green ambition sweeping across the Asia Pacific. Together, let us harness the collective power of innovation, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to make green hydrogen a reality, not just a dream.

On behalf of the Sarawak government and the people of this vibrant state, I extend a warm welcome once again. May this conference be a catalyst for change, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the boundless potential of human ingenuity.

Welcome to the future of green hydrogen. Welcome to the Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Conference and Exhibition.
