TNB Embarks on Innovative Co-Firing Project to Advance Energy Transition Agenda

04/02/2024

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), is conducting a Joint Study with Japan’s IHI Corporation (IHI) to pioneer small-scale co-firing project at its two thermal power plants located at the Stesen Janakuasa Sultan Azlan Shah (SJSAS) in Lumut, Perak and the Stesen Janakuasa Tuanku Mukhriz (SJTM), Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. IHI has extensive experience in converting conventional fuel to carbon neutral fuel including biomass and ammonia at several plants of their clients in Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. TNB is undertaking the project through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd (TNB Genco) and TNB Fuel Services Sdn Bhd (TNBF). TNBF has vast experience in procurement of fuel for all power plants in Malaysia.

“As we transition from laboratory experimentation to actual plant implementation, our ongoing co-firing project signifies remarkable progress in our commitment to sustainability. Having successfully demonstrated the burning of 1% biomass, we are now advancing to the next level by introducing 1% ammonia and 2% biomass co-firing. This significant development aligns seamlessly with TNB’s ambitious 2050 net-zero goals, marking a substantial reduction in carbon emission intensity. The co-firing of 1% ammonia and 2% biomass is poised to offset carbon emissions equivalent to 71,000 passenger cars per year, underscoring the tangible environmental impact of this advancement.",” said TNB President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Seri Ir. Baharin Din.

Concurrently, a demonstration (demo) of 1% biomass (EFB pellet) co-firing has been successful at SJTM between 10 to 14 September 2023, validating the suitability of co-firing to the local climate. The demo program was witnessed by representatives from the regulators and partners, Mitsui, and Chugoku. The result is well within emission regulatory limit.
