Malaysia's PETRONAS CCS Solutions has awarded Italy's RINA a contract to carry out the engineering study of FEED (pre-FEED), the development phase in which the identified the technical and functional needs and defined the concepts engineering projects, for an innovative carbon project capture and storage (CCS) in Malaysia. The RINA study, which will be delivered by the end of 2024, will allow the engineering of the infrastructure necessary for the reception, transport and transport of CO2 storage, from capture at industrial sites to transport by pipelines, then to subsequent storage in exhausted offshore fields. The agreement covers two hubs: Kerteh, located in the north of Malaysia, and Kuatan, in the south of the country, and sees RINA responsible for three distinct areas. For the Northern Hub, the onshore terminal, including the onshore gas pipeline system and the pontoon that will receive the ships dedicated to the transport of CO2 and, for the Southern Hub, the onshore terminal, the pipeline and the Offshore injection platform.
