Joint Ventures
Gas Malaysia Energy Advance Sdn Bhd
Gas Malaysia Energy Advance Sdn. Bhd. (GMEA) was incorporated in 2014 to generate and sell Electricity and Steam/Heat through the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system to the industrial sector. It is a joint venture between Gas Malaysia Berhad (66%) and Tokyo Gas’ Energy Advance Co. Ltd (34%).
CHP – Concept
CHP or also known as Co-generation is a simultaneous production of electricity and usable thermal energy from a single fuel source. Combined heat and power (CHP) integrates the production of usable heat and power (electricity), in one single, highly efficient process. This contrasts with conventional ways of generating electricity where a vast amount of heat is simply wasted.
CHP – System
The four basic elements that exist in a CHP Plant: –
- A Prime Mover (Engine)
- An Electricity Generator
- A Heat Recovery System
- A Control System
Gas Malaysia Virtual Pipeline Sdn Bhd
Gas Malaysia Virtual Pipeline Sdn Bhd (GMVP) or formerly known as Gas Malaysia IEV Sdn. Bhd was incorporated in 21 October 2014, aimed at supplying compressed natural gas via land transportation to customers who have no access to Gas Malaysia’s distribution pipeline network or also known as the Natural Gas Distribution System.

Sime Darby Gas Malaysia BioCNG Sdn Bhd
Sime Darby Gas Malaysia BioCNG Sdn Bhd (“SDGMB”) is a joint venture company between Gas Malaysia Berhad (49%) and Sime Darby Energy Solutions Sdn Bhd (51%). The company was founded in 2015 and was the first in Malaysia to make deliveries of compressed Biomethane to industrial customers.
SDGMB business model addresses the complete value chain of mobile gas solutions, from processing of biogas into compressed Biomethane; to the gas transportation and distribution to end users. The development of such “virtual” pipeline network is economically, safely and expediently achieved by the employment of the most advanced and reliable technologies.
Biomethane
Biomethane is a 100% renewable energy source produced by the natural breakdown of organic material such as green waste, household waste, agricultural waste, food industry waste and even industrial waste. The process of breaking down this material in an oxygen-free environment produces biogas, which is then purified to become biomethane.
Also known as ‘green gas’, biomethane properties are similar to those of natural gas, making it suitable for use as vehicle fuel and in heating applications. As for SDGMB, the Biomethane was produced from the biogas derived from anaerobic digestion of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (“POME”).
