CCS Companies (IV): PETRONAS (Malaysia)

In the latest GCCSI report, 'State of the Art: CCS Technologies 2024', I discovered that PETRONAS—the national oil company of my country, Malaysia—has developed a membrane contactor technology. The Membrane Contactor is a natural gas decarbonization technology based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hollow-fiber membrane contactors, jointly developed by PETRONAS and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics. This technology has successfully completed industrial-scale trials at a PETRONAS natural gas processing plant and met contractual performance requirements. PETRONAS is also actively advancing its CCS development! # About PETRONAS As Malaysia’s national petroleum company, PETRONAS is led by CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik, who plays a pivotal role in steering the company toward a low-carbon future. According to PETRONAS’s official documents, the Group is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050—a commitment explicitly reaffirmed in its 2021 sustainability report. Beyond the PTFE hollow-fiber membrane contactor technology for natural gas decarbonization, PETRONAS also focuses on clean energy solutions through its subsidiary Gentari, targeting 30–40 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. Internationally, PETRONAS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) to jointly promote growth across the entire energy value chain and explore emerging industry opportunities. Additionally, PETRONAS plans to reduce and offset hard-to-abate emissions via CCS projects and nature-based climate solutions. CCS Project The project is named the 'Kasawari CCS Project' and is located offshore Sarawak, Malaysia. It is Malaysia’s first integrated offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. The project involves capturing and processing CO₂ from sour gas field development, followed by injecting the captured CO₂ into depleted gas reservoirs—making it a key enabler of PETRONAS’s 2050 net-zero target. PETRONAS Carigali, PETRONAS’s wholly owned subsidiary, made the Final Investment Decision (FID) for this project in November 2022. Once operational, the Kasawari CCS Project is expected to rank among the world’s largest offshore CCS projects, reducing over three million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually from combustion sources...
