KUCHING, Oct 8: Tanjung Embang is set to be developed as a gas hub under Sarawak’s Gas Roadmap, creating greater opportunities to attract investments in the energy sector and related industries.
Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the development of the gas hub was part of the State government’s efforts to maximise the use of Sarawak’s gas reserves as a key component of its energy mix.
He said gas would complement other energy sources, including hydropower, solar and biomass, to meet growing energy demand and support Sarawak’s economic development.
“We are currently negotiating and making preparations to utilise our gas reserves. We are developing Tanjung Embang, and a key component of this is the establishment of a gas hub there,” he said as reported by Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas).
