DNV and Petronas CCS ventures collaborate to enable carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chains across Southeast Asia

DNV and PETRONAS’ wholly-owned subsidiary, PETRONAS CCS Ventures Sdn Bhd (PETRONAS CCS Ventures), have recently signed a Master Price Agreement for the certification of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage sites and associated facilities for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in Malaysia.

This agreement builds on a Memorandum of Understanding signed between DNV and PETRONAS in 2022, during which strategic working groups delved into topics relevant to CCS.
