PETRONAS in Adnoc, Storegga tie-up

The deal targets at least five million tonnes per annum of CO2 capture and storage capacity by 2030.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian state energy firm Petroliam Nasional Bhd (PETRONAS) will collaborate with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and United Kingdom-based Storegga to evaluate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions storage in Malaysia, the companies say.

The three companies have signed an agreement for assessing CO2 storage capabilities of saline aquifers and the construction of carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities in the Penyu basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia, they said in a joint statement.
