KUALA LUMPUR, Gas Malaysia Bhd has awarded engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contracts to two local firms, MTC Orec Sdn Bhd and Enproserve (M) Sdn Bhd, for the development of biomethane purification plants in Trong and Air Kuning, Perak.
The projects, scheduled for completion within 13 months, mark a key milestone in strengthening the group’s green gas portfolio and advancing Malaysia’s renewable energy agenda through its wholly owned subsidiary, Gas Malaysia Green Ventures Sdn Bhd, the company said in a statement today.
The purification facilities are designed to treat raw biogas by removing impurities and upgrading it into high-quality biomethane that meets natural gas standards, offering a low-carbon substitute for fossil fuels.
Once purified, the biomethane will be delivered via a virtual pipeline system or tube skids before being injected into Gas Malaysia’s existing natural gas distribution network, providing cleaner energy to industrial users and local communities.
