Seoul-headquartered ChloroPlant has been awarded a contract by a Singaporean clean energy investor to design, construct and operate a 10MW green hydrogen plant in Sarawak, Malaysia.
Valued at around $17m, the EPC contract from H1Hydro could see the first phase of the project enter operations in Q1 2026.
The facility is expected to use European electrolysis technology, while hydrogen storage and transport solutions are currently under discussion with firms in South Korea and Malaysia.
Despite no named offtakers, the project could scale to see a green hydrogen distribution business set up to supply Northeast Asian markets including South Korea and Japan.
Due to the region’s proximity to potentially high-demand markets like South Korea and Japan, Sarawak is emerging as Malaysia’s green hydrogen production hub.
Having released its national hydrogen roadmap in 2023, the country is looking to use the state’s existing hydropower resources and high renewable energy potential to produce low-cost green hydrogen.
ChloroPlant said the project could stimulate local economies and support Sarawak’s hydrogen development efforts.
