Malaysia’s Petronas faces gas test in move to net zero

February 20, 2022

Dateline 2021-12-27, Argus Media:

Malaysia’s state-owned Petronas’ decision about how to move forward with its gas supplies after announcing a 2050 net-zero target has been complicated by current high spot LNG prices.

The firm’s net-zero plan includes hydrogen as a crucial step. It said blue hydrogen offers a way to monetise the 1.5 trillion m³ of shale gas reserves it owns as part of a joint venture in Canada. But current “spectacular” LNG prices are complicating the picture. “There’s this energy transition going on… but now LNG is looking beautiful.

February 18, 2022

Wasn’t this more like, PETRONAS needed someone to buy the gas, and found a patsy?

Dateline 2021-12-13, The Star:

Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) will raise the supply of natural gas to Sarawak by more than 250%, or up to 1,200 mmscf (million standard cubic feet) per day from the current 450 mmscf per day to support the implementation of projects under the Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR).
