Throughout 2024, clean energy solutions provider Gentari has
charted significant progress in growing and strengthening its
position as a regional leader in renewable energy, hydrogen and
green mobility in Asia Pacific.
Strategic
partnerships with key industry players since its official launch
in 2022 supported the company’s strategic advancements in
2024, reinforcing its ability to drive the region’s clean
energy transition towards a net zero future.
With
its partners, Gentari is actively addressing challenges to support
the transition to a low-carbon economy. “As we close 2024,
I am proud of the tangible progress Gentari has made in delivering
practical clean energy solutions across Asia Pacific. This year,
our collaborations and focused efforts have enabled us to
contribute to decarbonisation initiatives and support meaningful
advancements. We remain committed to making a measurable impact on
the energy transition,” remarked Sushil Purohit, Chief
Executive Officer, Gentari.”
To
date, Gentari has secured 8 GW of installed and under construction
renewable energy capacity across its markets. At home in Malaysia,
the company has made significant strides in expanding its
renewable energy footprint, with upcoming floating solar projects
in Sarawak and Terengganu set to bolster its contributions to the
nation’s clean energy transition.
Regionally, India saw substantial growth, marked by key milestones
including the commissioning of an interstate transmission
system-connected solar project, securing a wind-solar hybrid power
project, and the successful commissioning of wind turbines for a
co-located solar and wind project.
Navjit
Gill, Country Head for India, Gentari, said,
“Gentari's growth in India in 2024 highlights the
opportunities within the country’s dynamic energy
landscape. As a key market, we are dedicated to supporting
India’s energy transition with solutions in renewable
energy, hydrogen, and green mobility, aligned with local needs and
priorities.”
Other markets, such as
Australia, witnessed Gentari’s renewable energy expansion,
including the Final Investment Decision (FID) for a solar-BESS
(battery energy storage systems) hybrid project.
Andrew
Barson, Chief Executive Officer, Gentari Solar Australia added,
“Australia's abundant land and sunshine make it ideal
for expanding clean energy capacity, particularly in solar. This
year, Gentari has focused on building dispatchable solar and BESS
hybrid power plants and enhancing our portfolio with BESS
infrastructure to maximise our contribution to the
country’s renewable energy
potential.”
In hydrogen, the
company saw the maturation of 175 KTPA of hydrogen opportunities,
including the FID for a 1 MTPA green ammonia plant with AMG
Ammonia in India. Proposed and planned hydrogen projects across
Malaysia, India and Singapore continued to progress through
developmental stages, while a strategic partnership with MISC
sought to strengthen logistics capabilities for Gentari’s
hydrogen pillar.
In the green
mobility segment, Gentari continued to expand its portfolio with
local and regional partners, closing the year with approximately
1,000 charging points (CPs) across the region, forming part of a
growing cross-border roaming network of over 5,000 CPs spanning
Malaysia, India, Thailand and Singapore. To further
enhance sustainability, Gentari launched its first Battery Energy
Storage System (BESS) for CPs in Perak – the first of its
kind in Southeast Asia.
Meanwhile,
Gentari’s Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS) offering
deployed over 3,600 EVs across Malaysia, India and Indonesia,
clocking in over 44 million electric kilometres driven and
contributing to carbon avoidance of around 1,357 tCO2e.
“Gentari’s
efforts in Green Mobility reflect our commitment to addressing
Asia Pacific’s unique transportation challenges while
contributing to the broader transition towards sustainability.
Through initiatives like our cross-border EV roaming network and
VaaS offering, we strive to make it easier for businesses and
individuals to embrace clean transportation solutions,”
said Shah Yang Razalli, Deputy CEO of Gentari and CEO of Gentari
Green Mobility.
To complement the expansion
of these services, the company introduced Gentari Go, an
integrated customer experience platform in Malaysia, India and
Thailand, offering a one-stop platform for sustainable
energy adoption. Other initiatives involved partnerships with
local governments and sectors such as automotive, e-commerce, and
finance to accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation
in Malaysia and the region.
To
further simplify the net zero journey for customers in industries
as diverse as FMCG, retail, manufacturing and technology, Gentari
launched Decarbonisation-as-a-Service (DaaS). This comprehensive,
one-stop solution offers tailored, end-to-end decarbonisation
strategies, providing cohesive pathways to optimise carbon
footprint reduction while connecting customers to an extensive
ecosystem of advanced technologies, innovative approaches, and
impactful collaborations – streamlining the journey toward
achieving sustainability goals.
The
company’s progress and achievements have not gone unnoticed
in the industry. Recently, Gentari was recognised by Energy
Council with the Energy Transition Company of the Year Award at
the Asia Pacific Energy Capital Assembly Awards 2024.
Gentari
recognises that achieving a sustainable energy future is a shared
responsibility, requiring the collective efforts of policymakers,
industry leaders, and businesses. The collaborative strides made
across the clean energy landscape this year have laid a strong
foundation for continued growth.
As
Gentari looks ahead, it remains committed to advancing the energy
transition, proud to contribute to these efforts. Together with
its partners, the company aims to drive impactful, sustainable
outcomes that will shape a cleaner, more resilient future for the
region.
