BUTTERWORTH: Gas Malaysia Bhd, a member of MMC Group remains steadfast in its commitment to solidify its position as a provider of innovative energy solutions through its Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology.
The CHP system, also known as cogeneration, generates both electricity and heat from a single fuel source.
Gas Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Hashimi Abdul Manap said this technology is particularly beneficial for industrial sector customers who require both electricity and thermal energy such as steam or hot water.
“Gas Malaysia Energy Advance Sdn Bhd (GMEA), a joint venture between Gas Malaysia and Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions Corporation (TGES), is spearheading the CHP business. GMEA operates 3 plants with a combined capacity to generate 41.7MW of electricity, 165 tph of steam and 1,684kW of hot water with a potential to reduce about 72,261 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year,” he said in a statement.
Ahmad Hashimi said the CHP system is projected to make a significant contribution to its customers’ sustainability pledge. He said this effort aims to foster a greener future as industries place greater emphasis on adopting environmentally responsible business practices, adding that CHP also contributes towards reducing carbon footprint.
