Gas Malaysia and Air Liquide sign MoU to explore BioLNG, CO2 offtake, and low-carbon hydrogen

Gas Malaysia and Air Liquide Engineering & Construction signed an MoU at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok to study energy transition projects in Malaysia. The focus areas are CO2 offtake, BioLNG, and low-carbon hydrogen, combining Gas Malaysia's gas network with Air Liquide's industrial gas technology. The agreement is tied to Gas Malaysia's GM32 strategy and Malaysia's National Energy Transition Roadmap. Both companies will assess technical and commercial feasibility before deciding which projects to develop. No concrete volumes, costs, or project locations were announced yet. For observers of industrial decarbonisation in Southeast Asia, the MoU is a useful signal but still an early stage. The next meaningful milestone will be a defined CO2 offtake arrangement or a BioLNG supply deal with named customers.
