KUCHING: The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) is actively exploring opportunities to collaborate with the Sarawak government in the field of renewable hydrogen-based energy sources.
Its minister Chang Lih Kang emphasised that Sarawak has demonstrated outstanding achievements in hydrogen technology and its associated economy, making it a valuable reference point for their endeavours.
