JAPAN: Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS) and TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd (TNB Genco), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Bhd have agreed to work together to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from thermal power plants in Malaysia.
The two companies will hold discussions and begin full-scale introduction of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to thermal power plants in Malaysia from September 2023.
The agreement will promote the introduction of CO2 capture equipment for coal fired units, such as the relatively new Jimah East Power Coal-Fired Power Plant or any other plan owned by TNB Genco.
The two companies aim to provide services for the installation of CO2 capture facilities at thermal power plants in Malaysia, and thereby contribute to the country's decarbonisation goals.
From September of this year, TNB Genco's engineers will get training and personnel development support related to the delivery and operation of CCS equipment at related locations within the Toshiba ESS Group.
