TH PLANTATIONS FORMS PARTNERSHIP WITH CENERGI FOR FIRST BIOGAS POWER PLANT IN KLUANG, JOHOR
Kuala Lumpur, 13 June 2024 - TH Plantations Berhad (THP), the plantation arm of Lembaga Tabung Haji, has announced a strategic partnership with Cenergi SEA Berhad (Cenergi), a subsidiary of UEM Lestra Berhad, to develop, construct, and operate a 1.2-megawatt (1.2MW) biogas power plant in Kluang, Johor Darul Ta’zim. The project will be executed through a joint venture between THP Applications & Services Sdn Bhd and Cenergi RE Sdn Bhd.
Scheduled to commence operations in 2026, the biogas power plant is set to generate enough electricity to power up to 1,500 homes annually. In term of environmental impact, this biogas power plant could help avoid approximately 20,000 tons of carbon emissions annually, which is equivalent to 4,760 cars driven in a year.
THP CEO, Encik Mohamed Zainurin bin Mohamed Zain, highlighted the significance of the project during the signing ceremony at Lembaga Tabung Haji Headquarters, Menara Tabung Haji. He stated, "At THP, we are always looking for ways to enhance Tabung Haji's investment value while prioritizing environmental sustainability."
The signing ceremony was attended by representatives from both organizations, including THP board member Dr. Shahril Simon, and Cenergi board members.
Cenergi's Group CEO, Encik Hairol Azizi Tajudin, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "We're honoured to join THP on its sustainability journey. This partnership reflects our commitment towards innovative solutions that benefit the environment and economy. We're excited to support THP in integrating green technology into its operations."
Mohamed Zainurin further explained that the project aligns with THP's Al-Falah 22/22 strategies, aimed at optimizing the treatment of palm oil mill effluent and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The introduction of green technology initiatives will enhance the existing factory treatment system without causing environmental harm.
He added, "Renewable Energy (RE) is poised to play an increasingly significant role in Malaysia's electricity generation, given the abundance of biomass and biogas resources. THP is committed to exploring opportunities to become a reliable supplier of bio-stock for the RE industry.
