KUCHING, April 29 — Sarawak plans to replace the use of coal at the Sejingkat and Balingian power plants with biomass, in line with the state’s efforts to develop clean and sustainable energy, says Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.
“At Drax, they previously used coal but have now replaced it with biomass. The investment is not high because the system is very similar.“This is what we want to use for Sejinkat and Balingian. We want to decommission coal. I have calculated that we can use our biomass to generate power,” he said. He also expressed happiness that the European community has recognised Sarawak’s role in addressing climate change.Separately, Abang Johari said the implementation of cascading dams in the hinterland will be carried out elsewhere if the local population objected to it.
