KT-Kinetics Technology contract for hydrogen production unit in Pengerang biorefinery
MAIRE announces that KT-Kinetics Technology supported by the technological know-how of NEXTCHEM, has been awarded by Pengerang Biorefinery Sdn Bhd, licensing, as well as engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services for an HPU to be located in Johor, Malaysia. NEXTCHEM will provide the license of its proprietary NX ReformTM technology.
The HPU will be part of a new biorefinery within Pengerang Integrated Complex and will produce around 38,000 normal metric cubes per hour of hydrogen, essential for the biorefinery’s conversion processes. Upon completion, the biorefinery will process approx. 650,000 tons per year of raw materials such as used vegetable oils, animal fats and waste from the processing of vegetable oils to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and bio-naphtha.
The contract value is approx. USD 125 million, and the plant is expected to be operational in 2028.
MAIRE will employ NEXTCHEM's NX Reform™ technology, a cutting-edge solution that combines circularity and efficiency to produce low-carbon hydrogen while reducing emissions and maximizing resource recovery. This initiative aligns with MAIRE’s strategy to support clients like PETRONAS and its JVs in advancing the transition to low-carbon fuels and developing cutting-edge SAF production facilities.
Alessandro Bernini, Chief Executive Officer of MAIRE, commented: “This important achievement confirms MAIRE's pivotal role in the energy transition, and its ability to deliver advanced and integrated solutions that enable our clients to lead the way in producing renewable fuels, contributing to a more sustainable future.”
