Plans laid out for hybrid solar-hydro green hydrogen hub in Malaysia

Renewables Now · last updated

The utility said on Sunday that the initiative aims to position Malaysia as a regional leader in the green hydrogen value chain and support its National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).

Malaysian oil and gas company Petroliam Nasional Bhd, better known as Petronas, will be TNB’s partner in the green hydrogen project. Meanwhile, TNB’s power generation subsidiary TNB Genco Sdn Bhd will collaborate with Terengganu Inc to implement the floating photovoltaic (PV) plan.

The solar system will be installed as part of a larger TNB initiative for combining floating PV panels with existing hydropower resources.

The future hydrogen output is planned to be used for hydrogen derivatives such as green methanol and green ammonia.

“By tapping into the promising potential for green hydrogen and renewables to complement the baseload in the national grid that is still predominantly being served by conventional sources of energy, this landmark collaboration will pave the way for greater energy security and diversity for Malaysia,” said Petronas’ president and CEO Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik.
