In Malaysia, FMT reported that the government of Sarawak region is set to establish a strategic partnership with the Swedish government in managing the state’s waste-to-energy (WtE) system.
Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg said the state is keen on emulating Sweden’s WtE system as it has been proven to be more successful than those of other European countries, according to the report.
“I am interested in Sweden’s capability in the WtE industry, and since Sarawak has almost similar resources, we can emulate its solid waste management method,” he said.
He also expressed his interest in Sweden’s cross-border power grid, which allows the European country to export electricity to neighboring countries such as Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, Lithuania and Poland.
He said Sarawak could emulate this and export electricity to Kalimantan, Indonesia.
