RINA, an inspection, certification and engineering consultancy, has been awarded a contract by PETRONAS CCS Solutions Sdn Bhd (PCCSS) to carry out a pre-FEED (preliminary front-end engineering design) study for a groundbreaking carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Malaysia. This major development is a key step in supporting the country’s efforts toward net-zero emissions.

The contract covers the northern hub, located in Kerteh, and southern hub, located in Kuantan, with RINA responsible for three distinct scopes: the northern hub’s onshore terminal, jetty, and pipeline; the southern hub’s onshore terminal; and the offshore pipeline and platform. These facilities will be crucial in capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial sources and securely storing them in offshore geological formations.

The pre-FEED study, expected to be completed by the end of 2024, will provide an optimized engineering plan for the collection, transport and storage of CO₂.
