BANGKOK, Sept 17 (Bernama) -- Gas Malaysia Berhad (“Gas Malaysia”), a member of MMC Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Air Liquide Engineering & Construction to collaborate and explore opportunities across broader energy transition including notably low-carbon hydrogen, carbon dioxide (CO₂) off-take, and Bio-Liquefied Natural Gas (Bio-LNG) in Malaysia.
Signed on the sidelines of Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, the MOU provides a platform for both parties to assess potential projects that bring together Gas Malaysia’s wide market reach and infrastructure advantage with Air Liquide’s global expertise in industrial gas technologies and engineering to address the customers’ sustainable energy needs.
The collaborative partnership will focus on evaluating and supporting renewable gas initiatives, such as Bio-LNG projects, as well as CO₂ off-take opportunities involving Gas Malaysia and third-party facilities. The companies will also leverage Air Liquide’s technology for low-carbon hydrogen solutions. In addition, both parties will assess wider prospects that enable industrial decarbonisation and a lower-carbon economy, through advanced engineering and technological solutions.
“As Malaysia’s energy landscape evolves, the industry needs practical solutions that support decarbonisation while maintaining supply system reliability. Through this collaborative framework, the two companies will explore opportunities that combine Gas Malaysia’s market reach and gas infrastructure network with Air Liquide’s global capabilities in technology and engineering to help customers navigate the energy transition. This initiative reflects our commitment to expanding beyond conventional gas supply through partnerships that unlock new opportunities in renewable gas, hydrogen and other lower-carbon industrial solutions,” said Azli Mohamed, President & Group Chief Executive Officer of Gas Malaysia Berhad.
Aligned with Gas Malaysia's GM32 strategy, the collaboration builds on the Group's ongoing decarbonisation initiatives. These efforts also support the aspirations of Malaysia's National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), particularly in advancing lower-carbon energy alternatives and supporting industrial decarbonisation.
