While fossil fuels will remain core to the global energy mix, PETRONAS has continued to invest in and promote the use of cleaner energy from low carbon sources. In the space of natural gas, PETRONAS has maintained its market position as one of the leading liquefied natural gas provider globally, having delivered more than 11,000 cargoes since the establishment of its first LNG production complex in Bintulu, Sarawak, in 1983. 

As an integrated global LNG player with more than 37 years' experience, PETRONAS continues to lead the industry through its focus on customer-centricity and innovation, to provide a reliable and sustainable source of cleaner energy for customers. Over the years, PETRONAS has invested heavily in the development of modern technologies to maximise hydrocarbon resources while reducing its environmental footprint.

Delivering energy needs in a responsible manner is now more important than ever. This is where PETRONAS' latest LNG solutions play an important role - to ensure its customers' cleaner energy needs are met in a sustainable manner.

One of PETRONAS' latest LNG solutions is the Virtual Pipeline System, which delivers LNG to off-grid customers throughout Peninsular Malaysia, using trucks fitted with ISO tanks. Launched in September 2020, the VPS solution enables PETRONAS to reach remote and off-grid customers that are not connected to the natural gas infrastructure and provide them with an option to power their operation with LNG. This enables multiple industries and sectors of various sizes with smaller energy requirements to make the switch to a cleaner source of energy.

Out at sea and to promote the use of LNG as a cleaner marine fuel, a parallel effort is already underway with the PETRONAS LNG bunkering solution, which helps shipowners and vessel operators power their vessels with LNG. Introduced in November 2020, the LNG bunkering solution was realised with the arrival of PETRONAS' first LNG bunkering vessel (LBV), the MV Avenir Advantage, which is Southeast Asia's first dedicated LBV. More importantly, the LNG bunkering solution supports the implementation of International Maritime Organisation 2020 regulations to limit the carbon impact from the marine industry.

The VPS and LBV solutions is a testament of how PETRONAS places customers at the heart of everything they do while continuing to prioritise sustainability as a core area for the organisation to play a role in creating a greener future.

As a progressive energy and solutions partner to meet the call for cleaner energy and provide uninterrupted accessibility to its customers, PETRONAS remains committed to providing solutions that enrich lives. Meeting the challenge of becoming a net-zero company by 2050 will not be easy, but PETRONAS will never stop pushing for progress to provide sustainable solutions for their customers, employees and the world.
