KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 (Bernama) -- Black & Veatch has been appointed by Malaysia energy companies Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and PETRONAS to conduct study on green hydrogen commercialisation pathways as part of efforts to realise the country’s low-carbon energy ambitions.

The objectives of the study are to validate the findings of a joint feasibility study conducted by TNB and PETRONAS to develop hydrogen in Malaysia and provide strategic, technical and commercial insights on the generation, transportation, distribution and demand of green hydrogen.

According to Black & Veatch in a statement, this strategic collaboration affirms the partners’ commitment to support the country's vision for a flourishing green hydrogen economy.

Black & Veatch Director, South & Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Jerin Raj said with Malaysia’s abundant renewable resources including solar and hydropower, this feasibility study has the potential to shape the development of a hydrogen economy in Malaysia over the next decade.

Since developing the first hydrogen power generation conversion project and the first major hydrogen fuelling station in the United States, the company has continued to deliver reliable innovation and first-of-a-kind solutions across the hydrogen value chain,” he said.

Black & Veatch, a global leader in critical infrastructure solutions, is meeting Asia Pacific’s rapidly rising energy needs with low and no-carbon energy sources, including green hydrogen.
