KUALA LUMPUR: Natural gas, the cleanest hydrocarbon, has an important role to play in carbon emission reduction, especially in Malaysia.

The government has outlined several initiatives to boost the energy industry for future sustainable energy in the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), which include natural gas such as the proposed comprehensive National Energy Policy that will provide long-term strategic direction to support the aspiration of carbon neutrality.
