TNB, PETRONAS to explore green hydrogen development in Malaysia

This is in line with Malaysia’s carbon-neutral targets.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and PETRONAS have partnered to conduct a collaborative study for the development of green hydrogen ecosystem in and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in Malaysia.

The memorandum of understanding is intended to support Malaysia’s 2050 target to achieve carbon neutrality.

“The timing to embark on this effort is also perfect as the Government is scheduled to launch the National Energy Policy 2021-2040 soon that will outline Malaysia’s transition to green energy,” Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, Energy and Natural Resources Minister, said.

The MoU was signed by TNB President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dato’ Indera Ir. Baharin Din and PETRONAS President and Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Datuk Tengku Muhammad Taufik.

Aside from the study, the parties will also look into developing green hydrogen fuel for power generation as well as intensify efforts to co-create green hydrogen ecosystem. This is to provide clean energy solutions in Malaysia and other markets.

As a first step, TNB and PETRONAS will begin with the re-powering of the retired Sultan Ismail Power Station of TNB.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
