Malaysia’s state-run oil firm, Petronas has reportedly launched a new clean energy company called ‘Gentari’ as part of its global push to produce carbon-free energy. The subsidiary firm, which is wholly owned by Petronas, will help the company deliver renewable energy, hydrogen and green mobility solutions, and it will aid in achieving its long-term goal of becoming a full suite net-zero solutions provider. Right now, Petronas is the world’s fourth-largest exporter of liquified natural gas (LNG) and plans to step up investment in hydrogen and expand its portfolio in renewable energy.
