Power generation solutions company INNIO has signed an MoU with project developer Concord Renewable Energy to build four power plants across Malaysia fueled by palm oil waste.
Each plant will operate two INNIO Jenbacher high-efficiency biogas engines, collectively delivering more than 8MW of power to the grid.
INNIO has also signed a long-term service agreement for the Jenbacher Type 4 engines.
According to INNIO, the project aligns with Malaysia’s goal to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase renewables in the energy mix to 31% by 2025.
As part of the project, Concord Group and INNIO will focus on sustainable fuel sourcing. Methane gas emitted by existing palm oil mills will be reappropriated to produce power.
Concord Renewable Energy Sdn Bhd CEO, Datuk Khairuddin bin Tan Sri Mohd Hussin, said: “We look forward to continuing to work with INNIO’s advanced Jenbacher technology to help us meet growing energy demand while reducing emissions.”
