Evonik contributes to Malaysia’s first biomethane injection site, starting a new chapter in sustainable energy
Evonik and Gas Malaysia recently signed a Memorandum of Collaboration, focusing on upgrading biogas into biomethane, positioning Malaysia as a leader in sustainable energy. The pivotal agreement underscores Evonik’s commitment to advancing biomethane technology, and was concluded during the official inauguration of the nation’s first biomethane injection site, owned by Gas Malaysia. The festive ceremony was attended by YB Datuk Seri Johari bin Abdul Ghani, Malaysia’s Minister of Plantation and Commodities, and marked a historic milestone recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records.
A global leader in specialty chemicals, Evonik is a forerunner of sustainable energy solutions. Its SEPURAN Green membranes represent a cutting-edge technology designed for efficient biogas upgrading, enabling the production of high-purity biomethane. Utilising an innovative three-stage separation process, these membranes maximise methane recovery while minimising energy consumption, setting them apart from traditional methods.
“With SEPURAN® Green, we are transforming biomethane production. By integrating our advanced membrane technology into Malaysia’s energy infrastructure, we are paving the way for lower carbon emissions and expanding green energy opportunities,” said Dr. Jan-Olaf Barth, head of Evonik’s High Performance Polymers business line.
“Integrating SEPURAN Green into biomethane upgrading is a key part of Evonik’s commitment to advancing Malaysia’s renewable energy initiatives,” said Kenneth Kwok, Managing Director and Country Head of Evonik Malaysia. “Through our collaboration with Gas Malaysia, we strive to support the nation’s long-term sustainability objectives and contribute to a cleaner, greener future.”
Widely adopted in over 1,300 biogas plants worldwide, SEPURAN Green membranes have played a critical role in helping industries transition to cleaner energy sources. The technology, which enables biomethane to be injected into natural gas grids and used as a climate-neutral fuel, holds enormous potential for industrial applications and reinforcing circular economies across the globe.
