PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad has inked an MOU with Sarawak Petchem Sdn. Bhd. to conduct a joint feasibility study to develop a low-carbon ammonia and urea plant in Bintulu, Sarawak.
Under the terms of the MoU, the two companies will conduct a joint comprehensive study on the technical and commercial aspects, among other considerations, in meeting the rising demands for cleaner energy solutions by tapping into the renewable energy potential within the region.
This plant will have a future capability to produce ammonia with a very low carbon footprint; it is indeed a strategic initiative to capitalise on opportunities within the global energy transition market,” said Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Chief Minister of Sarawak.
Low-Carbon Ammonia is predominantly utilised in the hydrogen and power sectors for co- firing, bunkering and future sustainable Ammonia applications while Urea serves primarily as a fertiliser, a raw material for resins in plywood and adhesives, as well as diesel exhaust fluid for automotive applications.
