PETRONAS, DNV ink deal to support CCUS development

They will collaborate on technical and regulation areas, amongst others.

Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) and risk management and assurance expert DNV signed a memorandum of understanding to address challenges in the deployment of capture utilisation and storage (CCUS).

In a statement, DNV said the memo provides for their collaboration in the areas of technical matters including safety, environment, risk, technology, and qualification of the storage site, legislation and regulation, capability development, and commercial areas.

CCUS captures the carbon dioxide emission from industrial activities and could play a crucial role in the net-zero transition of Southeast Asia, according to DNV.

According to DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2021, fossil energy is the primary energy mix of Southeast Asia, and will remain dominant, accounting for 43% in 2030, and 53% in 2050, despite the strong growth of the renewable energy sector.

“Under this scenario, carbon capture and removal will be critical – because the emissions generated by fossil fuel use in hard-to-abate industrial applications will need to be addressed. In order to transition to clean energy, we need more tools beyond renewable energy and this tool kit must include CCUS,” said Brice Le Gallo, vice president and APAC director, Energy Systems at DNV.

“Implementing CCUS at scale will require navigating technology, business, regulations and policy which is why we believe this collaboration will be important for deployment in the region,” he added.

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.
