Malaysia's Green Milestone: HHFS Launch and Green Hydrogen Hub in Terengganu
Key Ideas
  • Malaysia inaugurated its first hybrid hydro floating solar system and a green hydrogen hub in Terengganu, aiming to lead in green hydrogen and renewable energy.
  • The projects, a collaboration between TNB, Petronas, and Terengganu Inc., align with the National Energy Transition and Hydrogen Economy Roadmaps.
  • TNB focuses on grid upgrades, Petronas on hydrogen production, while the HHFS facility in Kenyir will be a key renewable energy source and Kertih area will host hydrogen production facilities.
  • The initiatives support clean energy goals, contribute to the ASEAN Power Grid, and showcase Malaysia's commitment to long-term energy security and sustainability.
Malaysia has achieved a significant milestone in its clean energy journey with the launch of the country’s first hybrid hydro floating solar (HHFS) system and a green hydrogen hub in Terengganu. These initiatives, revealed as part of a collaboration between Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Petronas, and Terengganu Inc., aim to establish Malaysia as a regional leader in green hydrogen and renewable energy. The projects are in line with the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap (HETR) to promote sustainability and energy diversification. The Terengganu Green Hydrogen Hub, a joint effort by TNB and Petronas, focuses on hydrogen production and derivatives, while TNB is enhancing grid infrastructure for the nation's shift towards low-carbon energy. The HHFS facility, a partnership between TNB’s power generation arm and Terengganu Inc., supports the state’s aspiration for socio-economic growth through clean energy development. These ventures are part of an integrated clean energy value chain encompassing renewable power generation, green hydrogen production, and the manufacturing of green methanol and ammonia. The HHFS facility at Kenyir will serve as a crucial renewable energy source, whereas the Kertih area will house Petronas’ forthcoming hydrogen electrolyser, derivative plants, and carbon capture and storage facilities. TNB's HHFS facility is part of a broader 2.5 gigawatt hybrid solar-hydro program, utilizing hydro plants as flexible storage to balance grid demand effectively. The leaders of TNB, Petronas, and Terengganu Inc. emphasized the importance of these projects in supporting Malaysia's green hydrogen objectives and ensuring energy security and diversity for the country. The collaborations also aim to attract investments, nurture local talent, and position Terengganu as a global green energy hub, contributing to regional energy goals and fostering cross-border cooperation in renewable energy development.
