"We are honoured to partner Kulim Greenergy on this green venture. We firmly believe that the future lies in renewable and sustainable energy," he said.

Gas Malaysia said the partnership is part of its diversification strategy to explore other avenues within the gas value chain to further consolidate its position in the industry.

"It is in line with Kulim’s aspiration to incorporate sustainable practices in our business activities. We expect this effort to contribute positively to the group’s earnings by turning our compliance cost into a new income stream," Mohd Faris said.
