Sarawak expects up to US$1 billion in investment for a gas-based downstream industry, with talks involving Indorama and a Japanese company. The projects, likely in Bintulu, are tied to the state's low-carbon industrial agenda and could create high-value jobs. The announcement came at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, where Sarawak also promoted the Asian Power Grid and energy cooperation with other Asian countries. No specific products or carbon reduction measures were disclosed yet. Further meetings are scheduled in Bangkok in October, with Sarawak's deputy energy minister in attendance.
