Gas Malaysia Bhd’s subsidiary, Gas Malaysia Energy and Services (GMES), has signed an agreement with Intercontinental Specialty Fats (ISF) for the supply of certified biomethane through the natural gas distribution system, reported New Straits Times Press.
The biomethane will be certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) Plus standards.
A signing ceremony has taken place, with GMES and ISF represented by their respective CEOs Mohamad Farid Ghazali and Toshio Fujimori.
Gas Malaysia president and group CEO Ahmad Hashimi was also present. He said: “This business relationship represents a significant step towards advancing renewable energy adoption in industries traditionally dependent on fossil fuels. “The biomethane generated through this initiative is sourced from palm oil mill effluent (Pome), thereby contributing to a circular economy model.
"By treating waste into a viable energy source, we aim to address waste-related environmental challenges and facilitate the transition from conventional energy sources to greener alternatives, in alignment with the nation’s broader sustainability objectives.”
“This agreement strategically positions GMES and GMGV to leverage this opportunity, by providing customers with a viable solution to reduce their environmental impact,” added Hashimi.
