Two years of putting clean energy into action: Gentari offers clean energy solutions through three initial core pillars - Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Green Mobility - forming a portfolio of solutions cutting across the electron value chain to help customers achieve net zero emissions.

Since its launch two years ago, Gentari has rapidly emerged as a key player in the clean energy sector. Despite challenges, the company's swift progress highlights the immense potential of the industry and the growing demand for sustainable solutions toward Net Zero Carbon Emissions (NZCE).

As part of its mission to be the most valued clean energy solutions partner in Asia Pacific, Gentari is delivering impactful projects across its three core pillars—Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Green Mobility. These initiatives are not only helping customers decarbonise but are also advancing the global energy transition.

In all its core markets-Malaysia, India, and Australia-Gentari not only aligns with national policies such as Malaysia's New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP), the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the Hydrogen Economy Transition Roadmap (HETR), but also actively advocates for progressive policies and regulatory frameworks that promote clean energy solutions. By providing input into national decarbonisation agendas and collaborating with government agencies to contribute towards process and policy improvements, Gentari plays a critical role in helping to accelerate the energy transition while addressing both national priorities and customer needs.

Through global alliances and key strategic partnerships, Gentari is positioning itself as a leading developer in Commercial and Industrial (C&I) and utility-scale renewable energy, a large scale hydrogen producer and go-to industry partner for hard-to-abate sectors like steel, chemicals and maritime, and Asia Pacific's leading green mobility solutions partner.

Building alliances

Gentari recognises partnerships' critical role in accelerating clean energy adoption. By collaborating with key players like PETRONAS, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Amazon Web Services, AM Green, it amplifies efforts to drive sustainability and decarbonisation across industries. In just two years, Gentari has forged over 20 strategic alliances with government bodies, private companies and international organisations, advancing its mission to deliver impactful, sustainable solutions.

Gentari leased 25 e-bikes to Lazada for its last mile delivery and the event was launched by Investment, Trade and Industry (Miti) Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz at Xpark Sunway Serene on May 29.

Among these collaborations is Gentari's partnership with ReNew to develop 5 GW of renewable energy in India and its joint venture with Japan's Asahi Kasei and JGC for green hydrogen production using a 60 MW alkaline water electrolyser. It is also paving the way for low carbon hydrogen supply in Southeast Asia through collaborations with City Energy and Sembcorp Energy in Singapore. Additionally, its alliance with Lazada Group Malaysia is driving the electrification of logistics and with Zurich Malaysia, Gentari is exploring green mobility infrastructure and services to promote a sustainable lifestyle.

Through these initiatives, Gentari is not only aligning with national priorities and fostering economic development, but also ensuring a clean energy future for generations to come.

Tracking successes

Gentari's Renewable Energy pillar has rapidly grown, scaling its global portfolio to 3.6 GW of installed and under construction capacity through strategic investments in solar and wind projects across utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) segments. In India, its subsidiary, Amplus Solar, manages 1.9 GW of solar power for over 400 C&I customers, with an additional 300 MW of projects nearing final investment decision. In Australia, Gentari's acquisition of WIRSOL Energy, now known as Gentari Solar Australia, marked its entry into the country's renewable energy market. The company also expanded into offshore wind with an investment in the Hai Long project off Taiwan's Changhua coast. These initiatives, among many others, reinforce Gentari's position as a leading clean energy player in the Asia Pacific region.

Decarbonising PETRONAS - Rooftop and ground mounted solar panels totaling 49 MWp in capacity are installed at the PETRONAS Refinery and Petrochemical Corporation (PRPC).

In Hydrogen, Gentari is advancing large scale production through vital strategic projects, positioning itself as a leader in green molecules. In partnership with AM Green in India, Gentari aims to produce 5 million metric tons of green ammonia annually by 2030, with production expected to commence in the second half of 2026. In Malaysia, Gentari is advancing a centralised hydrogen production hub in Sarawak with SEDC Energy, to further strengthen its role as a regional leader in hydrogen supply. In addition to these efforts, Gentari is exploring supply opportunities for hard-to-abate sectors in markets like Singapore and is expanding its global footprint with feasibility studies for hydrogen projects in countries like Canada. This positions Gentari at the forefront of the industry, tackling the challenges of decarbonising key sectors.

In Green Mobility, Gentari has established itself as a leader, deploying a fleet of over 3,800 electric vehicles (EV) under its Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS) offering across Malaysia, India and Indonesia. This fleet has achieved approximately over 32 million electric kilometers driven, resulting in carbon avoidance of around 928 tCO2e.

Thanks to roaming partnerships with key EV industry players like EV Connection and ChargeEV in Malaysia, Evolt in Thailand, and ComfortDelGro and City Energy Go in Singapore, Gentari contributes to greater range confidence for EV users across the region. In Malaysia, Gentari operates the largest network of licensed EV charging stations, featuring over 400 charging points, including more than 150 DC fast chargers, making it the country's largest operator of fast chargers.

Across Malaysia, India and Thailand, Gentari manages a network of close to 1,000 charging points, most of which are integrated with the Gentari Go app. Starting with green mobility solutions that provide seamless access to EV charging networks and fleet management tools, Gentari Go is set to evolve, eventually integrating other clean energy solutions for a more comprehensive, sustainable system.

A vision for the future

As Gentari celebrates its second anniversary, it remains committed to becoming Asia Pacific's most valued clean energy solutions partner. Scaling operations, pioneering clean energy technologies and fostering impactful partnerships will be central to its future growth. Through human capital and economic contributions, Gentari will continue to play a commensurate part in facilitating the global energy transition, building a sustainable future for all.
