Malaysia's Green Energy Milestone: Launch of Hydro Floating Solar and Green Hydrogen Hub in Terengganu
Key Ideas
- Malaysia launches hybrid hydro floating solar and green hydrogen hub in Terengganu to position itself as a regional leader in the green hydrogen value chain.
- The hub involves strategic collaborations between Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), and investment firm Terengganu Inc to drive Malaysia's energy transition and clean energy ambitions.
- The initiative includes green hydrogen production, derivatives like green methanol and green ammonia, as well as TNB's 2.5 GW hybrid solar-hydro project to maximize renewable output and stabilize the grid.
- TNB and Petronas highlight the importance of the strategic alliance in accelerating decarbonization, promoting clean energy innovation, and ensuring energy security and diversity for Malaysia's future growth.
Malaysia marked a significant milestone in its energy transition roadmap by unveiling the hybrid hydro floating solar (HHFS) and green hydrogen hub in Terengganu. This initiative, led by Malaysia's utilities firm Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), state-owned oil and gas firm Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), and investment firm Terengganu Inc, aims to establish Malaysia as a regional leader in the green hydrogen value chain. The collaboration between TNB and Petronas will advance hydrogen production, derivatives production, and grid infrastructure enhancements to support the country's energy transition and regional clean energy goals. The green hydrogen hub in Terengganu will encompass renewable energy generation, green hydrogen production, and derivatives like green methanol and green ammonia. Additionally, TNB's 2.5 GW hybrid solar-hydro project, including the Kenyir HHFS facility, will leverage existing assets to optimize renewable energy output and stabilize the grid. The alliance between TNB and Petronas signifies a commitment to driving clean energy innovation, ensuring energy security, and supporting Malaysia's energy transition objectives. By tapping into the potential of green hydrogen and renewables, this collaboration paves the way for a dynamic energy ecosystem in Malaysia and strengthens the country's position as a regional green energy hub.
