TNB, PETRONAS to explore hydrogen, carbon capture

The companies seek to unlock at least RM10b in commercial value up to 2035.

The Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and PETRONAS will conduct feasibility studies to explore hydrogen and carbon capture.

This comes as the companies intend to unlock at least RM10b worth of commercial value up to 2035, TNB President and CEO Dato’ Indera Ir. Baharin Din.

“This brownfield project will start with the demolition of the existing plant next year and this will take two years,” Bahrain said.

“Construction of the project will commence from 2025 and the entire complex is scheduled to be ready in 2030.”

Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU),TNB and PETRONAS are expected to strengthen their collaboration in decarbonisation efforts to develop a green hydrogen ecosystem, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.

The MoU also provided that retired combined-cycle gas-fired power plant in Paka, Terenggany will be repowered through gas with hydrogen ready technology.

TNB will be funding the repowering of the plant through a RM6.3b. Its repowering is estimated to generate an average RM250 million annual earnings before interest and taxes.

“The Repowering of Paka, with a capacity of 1,400 megawatts (MW) will avoid 3.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) emission per annum, which is equivalent to the CO2 emitted by approximately 700,000 cars each year.”

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.
