About H₂Malaysia
A national platform, industry-led.
Hydrogen Malaysia (H₂Malaysia) is the national, industry-led platform established to drive the growth, coordination and adoption of hydrogen technologies in support of Malaysia's Hydrogen Economy & Technology Roadmap 2022–2050 — underpinned by the “Build Some, Buy Some” model, the clean energy transition and green economy goals.
The Role
The central facilitator.
H₂Malaysia connects government agencies, industry players, research institutions and investors to develop a robust hydrogen ecosystem. It actively supports national hydrogen initiatives such as the Sarawak Hydrogen Hub, the H2B Project and the Hydrogen Economy Technology R&D Implementation Programme (HETR-IP) led by NanoMalaysia Berhad.
Through strategic partnerships with international organisations such as the Global Hydrogen Industrial Association Alliance (GHIAA), H₂Malaysia aligns Malaysia's hydrogen development with global targets, standards and best practices — positioning the nation as a regional hydrogen hub.
