Environmental Challenges

  • Use of natural gas and electricity from Malaysia's fossil fuel-dependent grid.
  • Approximately 7.1% of the plant’s CAPEX goes to fossil fuel burning equipment.
  • No climate-related policies regarding the supply chain of raw materials.
  • No strategies on how to recover the produced HPA after end of life.
  • No plans to monitor or manage construction emissions.
  • No systematic approach to physical and transition climate risk assessment.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Plans to purchase renewable electricity and/or install own renewable energy in the future.
  • Use of “green” diesel as fuel for road transport vehicles and ocean-going vessels where possible.
  • Intention to implement TCFD recommendations during operations.
