Today, 26 January, marks the first commemoration of the International Day of Clean Energy. This day is dedicated to raising awareness and promoting the adoption of clean energy sources worldwide. The key theme of this day revolves around highlighting the importance of transitioning from traditional fossil fuels to renewable and sustainable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power.

In conjunction with this commemoration, we speak with Fairuz Yahya, Managing Director of Gabungan Sukses on the current state and the future of clean energy. Gabungan Sukses specialises in sustainable energy generation by utilising plant and agricultural wastes and employing biomass technology for energy production.
