Big potential in Malaysia to profit from methane capture technology


I SEETHED with anger and cynicism when I read the headlines in the Western media that are following the ongoing COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland. All I can say to those who are beating their chests and pounding tables to support the fight against climate change is they are doing too little too late.

Small and inconsequential as we may be, a few of us in Malaysia saw the menace posed by global warming and were already trying our utmost best to talk to major players involved in the oil and gas industry and timber and plantation companies since 2001, urging them to look at various activities like reforestation and, more importantly, methane capture.
