Malaysia’s Petronas launches clean energy firm to lead carbon-free push

Malaysia’s Petronas on Thursday announced the establishment of a new clean energy solutions company, Gentari, as part of a global push by the state oil firm to produce carbon-free energy.

Petronas, the world’s fourth-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), in 2020 said it was stepping up investments in hydrogen and expanding its portfolio in renewable energy.

Wholly-owned by Petronas, Gentari has been tasked with helping deliver renewable energy, hydrogen and green mobility solutions, with a long-term goal of becoming a “full suite net zero solutions provider”, according to a statement by Gentari.
