In June, Petronas established a unit, Gentari, to speed up the adoption of clean energy and build a capacity of 40GW, and supply 1.2MTPA of green hydrogen and establish EV charging points, with focus on India and Malaysia.
Recently, the Indian government made amendments to Energy Conservation Act to put in place enabling provisions to make use of clean energy including green hydrogen.
One of the sources told the publication that Petronas via Gentari will focus on three verticals in India – electric vehicles, green hydrogen and renewables.
