KUALA LUMPUR, Jul 15 (NNN-BERNAMA) – Malaysia launched a hybrid hydro floating solar and green hydrogen hub in Terengganu state, on the country’s north-east coast.
The initiatives aimed to position Malaysia as a regional leader, in the green hydrogen value chain, while supporting the National Energy Transition Roadmap, and the Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap, said Malaysia’s utility firm, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), state-owned oil and gas firm, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), and state-owned investment firm, Terengganu Inc., in a statement.
The green hydrogen hub in Terengganu will be part of an integrated end-to-end value chain, that encompasses round-the-clock renewable energy generation, from resources such as the Kenyir HHFS facility, green hydrogen production, and derivatives, including green methanol and green ammonia.
The initiative was believed to strengthen TNB’s and Petronas’ roles as key government-linked companies, in driving Malaysia’s energy transition through collaboration with ASEAN and global partners.
It will support the ASEAN Power Grid, advance sustainable solutions, foster knowledge transfer, and promote research and development.– NNN-BERNAMA
