Sarawak's 11th Multifuel Station in Batu Kawa to open soon
KUCHING: The Petros Multifuel Station (MFS) in Batu Kawa is set to begin operations soon, making it the 11th MFS in Sarawak and the second flagship station in the state equipped with hydrogen dispensing capabilities. In a statement today, Sarawak Economic Development Corporation Energy (SEDCE) said the physical structure of the station has been fully completed, and the team is now working closely with regulatory authorities to ensure full compliance before commissioning. 'MFS Batu Kawa is the second flagship station after MFS Darul Hana. It is designed to offer conventional fuels, fast electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen dispensing,' it said. According to the statement, MFS Batu Kawa will receive its hydrogen supply from MFS Darul Hana, which houses an on-site hydrogen production plant with a capacity of 150kg. 'The hydrogen will be transported via tube trailers, and a Mobile Hydrogen Refuelling System will be used to dispense the fuel. This distribution model is the first of its kind in the region,' it added. Earlier today, Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian visited the site and was briefed on the station's progress and key features. SEDCE also said that the Koperasi Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (KOBOPEM) was appointed earlier this year as the operator of MFS Batu Kawa to support the cooperative in generating sustainable income for its members. To date, 10 multifuel stations are fully operational across Sarawak, namely in Darul Hana (Kuching), Daro, Kanowit, Kuala Matu, Brooke Drive (Sibu), Selangau, Tatau, Kapit, Sungai Asap, and Jepak. Meanwhile, SEDCE said four more flagship stations are in the pipeline in Sri Aman, Sibu, Bintulu, and Miri. Construction of the Bintulu station at Jalan Sultan Iskandar is expected to begin in the second half of this year. 'Three MFS are currently under construction, and more than 40 sites are in the planning and processing stages across Sarawak. 'Once completed, these stations will provide customers with a network of EV charging facilities in addition to conventional fuels,' it added.

Petros multifuel station in Batu Kawa on track to start operations soon — SEDCE
KUCHING (June 22): The Petros Multifuel Station (MFS) Batu Kawa, the second flagship station equipped with hydrogen supply and 11th station in Sarawak, is on track to being operational soon. Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian in a recent visit to the site was briefed on its progress and features by the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation Energy (SEDCE) team. 'The physical structure of the MFS is fully completed, and the team is working closely with the regulatory authorities before the station can be operated,' said SEDCE in a statement. MFS Batu Kawa is the second flagship station after MFS Darul Hana, which is designed for conventional fuels, fast EV chargers and hydrogen dispensing. It will be getting its hydrogen supply from MFS Darul Hana, where the onsite hydrogen plant with 150kg production capacity is located, and the hydrogen supply will be transported via tube trailers where Mobile Hydrogen Refuelling System will be used for dispensing the molecules. This distribution model will be the first of its kind in the region. Earlier this year, SEDCE appointed Koperasi Bomba & Penyelamat Malaysia (KOBOPEM) as the operator for MFS Batu Kawa, which aims to support the cooperative as sustainable income stream for its members. SEDCE is responsible for developing the hydrogen value chain and downstream retail oil and gas business in Sarawak under the brand name Petros MFS. To date, there are 10 fully operating stations namely MFS Darul Hana (Jalan Tun Salahuddin), MFS Daro (Jalan Matu-Daro), MFS Kanowit (Jalan Kubu), MFS Kuala Matu (Jalan Daro–Kuala Matu), MFS Brooke Drive (Sibu), MFS Selangau (Pan Borneo-Selangau), MFS Tatau (Pan Borneo Tatau), Kapit (Jalan Bleteh), MFS Sungai Asap (Jalan Bintulu-Bakun), MFS Jepak (Kampung Jepak). SEDCE said with the completion of MFS Darul Hana and MFS Batu Kawa, four more flagship MFS are in the pipeline namely Sri Aman, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri, with construction for Bintulu (Jalan Sultan Iskandar) scheduled to begin in the second half of this year. These flagship MFS are designed to form the backbone of Sarawak's hydrogen refuelling network along its main cities. In comparison, non-flagship or standard MFS provide conventional fuels and EV charging facilities. Meanwhile, it said three MFS are currently under construction, and more than 40 sites are being processed for construction across Sarawak. Upon completion, these stations will also provide a network of EV charging facilities on top of conventional fuel to its customers.

Deputy Minister for Public Health, Housing and Local Government Datuk Michael Tiang officiated at the station run by Emparia Sdn Bhd. 'As many of you know, we are on a journey to make Sarawak a developed state by year 2030. That's not just a slogan, it's a real vision. And to make that happen, we need strong support from small and medium enterprises (SMEs),' he said. 'SMEs are the heart of our economy. You create jobs, keep the local economy moving, and help bring development to every corner of Sarawak including places like Sibu, Kapit, and Mukah, not just big cities like Kuching and Miri.' Delving on Petros, the Pelawan assemblyman said the new station is part of a bigger story about how Sarawak is starting to stand tall, taking charge of the state's own oil and gas resources. 'Petros, as many of you know, was set up not just to do business, but to protect our Sarawak rights. Sarawak has always had special powers under the Federal Constitution and the Malaysia Agreement 1963. 'And we are using those powers wisely for the interests and benefit of all Anak Sarawak. Thanks to the leadership of our Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and Sarawak government, Sarawak now has stronger control over our oil and gas industry. That means we can decide what's best for us, make sure more value stays in the state, and more importantly – give more opportunities to our own people,' added Tiang. He said this autonomy is what allows Sarawak to build better schools and offer free tertiary education to Sarawakians next year as well as improve healthcare and infrastructure.

'As we officially launch the Petros Multifuel Station today, we hope that when you see the Petros sign, you feel a sense of pride – knowing that this is our Sarawak brand – and you will support our business and grow this brand together,' he said.
