Premier urges OM Sarawak to embrace green technology for sustainable future. [Website]
Abstract
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has urged OM Sarawak to continue exploring new products and processes that embrace green technology in their production.
Speaking at the OM Sarawak 10th anniversary gala dinner last night, he emphasised the importance of expanding their business for a sustainable future, given their status as the largest ferroalloy smelter in the region outside China.
“There must be a roadmap using ferroalloys manganese as a base to develop downstream products that will be sustainable and perhaps one day we can export your by-products overseas.
“Now people are talking about circular economy, and I understand that your ferroalloy production, there (is a) lot of waste from the process that could be further processed to produce other products.
“One such product is calcium silicon cored wire, a tough material that can be turned into screws for use in shipbuilding, steel-based products, and perhaps even airplanes,” he explained.
