Additionally, the MOU will focus on pioneering ventures in advanced sectors like specialty chemicals, renewable energy, green hydrogen technology, and carbon capture, utilisation, and storage.

The agreement also aims to establish an open communication platform to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, insights and best practices aimed at accelerating energy transition and promoting sustainable energy development in the region.

Petronas has historically provided China with a stable energy supply including LNG, petrochemical products, crude oil, petroleum products and lubricants.

By strengthening cooperation with Chinese energy companies, the company has supported China’s energy sector transformation and economic development.

In a related development, Petronas, through its division Malaysia Petroleum Management, entered two strategic MOUs to advance technology and operational efficiency in Malaysia’s exploration and production sector.

These agreements were formalised at ADIPEC 2024, held on 4–7 November in Abu Dhabi.
