The transition of Malaysia from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources provides significant challenges and opportunities for various energy sectors. Incorporation of H₂ in the primary energy mix requires a deal of complexity in its relation to production, transportation, and end-use. The Sarawak State Government in Malaysia implemented a hydrogen energy roadmap for the year 2005–2030 on the state-level but despite the great enthusiasm and full support given by the government, the development of hydrogen technology is still far from its goals. This is due to several factors that hinder its progress including (1) inability of hydrogen to be integrated with current primary energy infrastructure, (2) limited technology resources to produce sustainable hydrogen, and (3) lack of technical expertise in the field of hydrogen. In this paper, a potential national roadmap and milestones are presented based on the power-to-gas (P2G) approach combined with its implications on the national natural gas (NG) pipeline network. Besides that, the long-term and short-term strategies and implementation mechanisms are discussed in detail. Furthermore, complete research schemes are formulated to be in-line with the presented vision to further enhance technology development and implementation.

马来西亚从化石燃料向可再生能源的过渡给各个能源部门带来了巨大的挑战和机遇。掺入H ₂一次能源混合中的碳排放需要在与生产，运输和最终使用有关的方面具有一定的复杂性。马来西亚的砂拉越州政府在州一级实施了2005-2030年氢能路线图，但是尽管政府表现出极大的热情和全力支持，但氢能技术的发展仍远未达到其目标。这是由于一些阻碍其发展的因素所致，其中包括：（1）氢无法与当前的一次能源基础设施整合；（2）有限的技术资源无法生产可持续的氢；（3）氢领域缺乏专业技术知识。在本文中，基于电力到天然气（P2G）方法及其对国家天然气（NG）管道网络的影响，提出了潜在的国家路线图和里程碑。除此之外，还详细讨论了长期和短期策略以及实施机制。此外，制定了完整的研究计划，以与提出的愿景保持一致，以进一步加强技术开发和实施。
