Malaysia and Japan agree to boost hydrogen ties

Tokyo was also assured of a stable supply of LNG.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba recently had a four-day tour in Malaysia, wherein leaders of both countries agreed to fuel their energy ties through the development of more hydrogen projects.

In line with this, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Japan has agreed to support energy firms Petros and Petronas to develop hydrogen energy.

“We hope to facilitate this as soon as possible to be able to meet some deadline, say by May when we meet either in Tokyo or in Kuala Lumpur,” the Malaysian leader was quoted saying in a statement.

In another statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan said the two leaders also confirmed stable supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Malaysia. They also plan to promote collaboration in the areas of carbon dioxide capture and storage, ammonia power generation and power grid, technical cooperation in ocean thermal energy conversion and biomass sector, and cooperation such as hydrogen and LNG.
