In order to promote the development
of renewable energy in Brunei, MC in
collaboration with the Brunei Government
embarked on a solar power plant project.
Commissioned in 2010, the 1.2-MW
Tenaga Suria Brunei (TSB) solar plant
located in Seria was used as a case study
on the overall feasibility of solar energy in
the country. The solar power generated
from the TSB plant is equivalent to an
annual electricity consumption of 200
households. The plant contributes about
0.14 per cent of the country’s total power
generation capacity, operated by the
Department of Electrical Services of
the Department of Energy at the Prime
Minister’s Office.
Withitscomparativelylowerenvironmental
impact, LNG is a key energy source in
the transition period to a carbon neutral
society. Through its LNG facilities in North
America, South Asia, Australia and other
regions around the globe, MC provides a
stable supply of energy while helping to
address environmental challenges such
as climate change and air pollution.
In an aim to secure supplies of cleaner
energy to meet the evolving of customers
and as part of its efforts to achieve
a carbon neutral society, MC is also
focussing its attention on developing
next-generation energy. This includes
hydrogen from natural gas/LNG, as well
as carbon capture, utilisation and storage
(CCUS) technologies and carbon credits,
all of which are expected to be promising
methods for reducing carbon dioxide
emissions.
