Gas Malaysia has signed a memorandum of understanding with Air Liquide Engineering & Construction to study potential projects in low-carbon hydrogen, carbon dioxide off-take, and bio-liquefied natural gas (bio-LNG) in Malaysia. The partnership combines Gas Malaysia's gas infrastructure and market reach with Air Liquide's industrial gas technology. The companies will assess how these projects could support industrial decarbonisation in Malaysia, aligning with the country's National Energy Transition Roadmap and Gas Malaysia's GM32 strategy. The agreement was signed at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok. Specific project details and timelines have not been announced yet.

Partnerships like this are common at this stage, just an MOU to study feasibility. The interesting part is whether they move to actual projects. Bio-LNG and low-carbon hydrogen both need clear off-take agreements and infrastructure to work.

Low-carbon hydrogen sounds nice but the real question is where the electricity or feedstock comes from. Green hydrogen needs clean power, blue hydrogen needs CCS. No specifics in the article about that. Also, CO2 off-take is vague without a use case or storage site.

Malaysia's NETR sets targets, but without carbon pricing or concrete incentives, MOUs like this stay on paper. Air Liquide brings technology, Gas Malaysia brings pipes, but who pays for the premium over conventional gas? That's the gap the roadmap needs to fill.
