Gentari, the clean energy solutions arm of Petronas, has raised concerns about the challenges faced by Malaysia's green hydrogen industry due to the current Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) tariffs. Wan M. Ikhwan Wan Yusoff, the head of Gentari's Technical Centre of Excellence for Hydrogen, emphasized the need for government support, specifically lower electricity tariffs, to enhance the competitiveness of green hydrogen production. He explained that RECs come with slightly higher tariffs than standard electricity rates, making it crucial to make them more competitive to lower the production cost of green hydrogen. Gentari aims to shift towards green hydrogen by harnessing renewable energy sources like hydro, wind, and solar to produce green electrons. Wan M. Ikhwan highlighted the advantage of Malaysia's hydroelectric infrastructure in Sarawak, where competitive tariffs make green hydrogen production cost-effective. The article also mentions TNBX Sdn Bhd, the single provider of REC in Malaysia, explaining the significance of RECs in enabling companies to claim they have sourced renewable energy, even in areas without direct access to green energy. TNB's Green Electricity Tariff (GET) programme for 2024 offers a quota of 6,600GWh to help consumers meet sustainability goals through cost-effective solutions.
