In support of the government's commitment to the Paris Agreement, Hazland said the Sarawak state government is actively striving for a 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity relative to GDP by 2030.
"Our Ministry wholeheartedly embraces the government's goal of achieving 31 per cent renewable energy in the national installed capacity mix by 2025, and 40 per cent by 2035.
"We are implementing a range of policies and initiatives to meet these targets, including expanding large-scale solar projects, promoting biomass and biogas energy generation, developing new hydroelectric capacity and exploring emerging technologies, such as wind and ocean energy," he said.
