Malaysia's Green Hydrogen Leap: BZI's Bold Investment Unveiled
Paka, Thursday, 27 November 2025.
BZI partners with Nova Re Suria to create a 200MW green hydrogen plant in Malaysia, aiming to produce 30,000 tonnes annually. This project positions Malaysia as a leader in Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition.
BZI’s Strategic Move
BZI has made a significant leap into the green hydrogen arena by signing a strategic partnership with Nova Re Suria (NRES). This collaboration aims to establish a 200 MW green hydrogen plant in Paka, Malaysia. With an ambitious target to produce nearly 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, this project underscores Malaysia’s potential to lead in Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition [1][2].
Global Impact and Local Growth
The project is not only a boon for Malaysia’s energy landscape but also a testament to the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions. Backed by China Energy Engineering Corporation for engineering, procurement, and construction, and supported by Jiangsu Guofu Hydrogen Energy for global distribution, the plant is set to position Malaysia competitively in the hydrogen economy. This initiative is expected to foster local economic growth and create job opportunities, aligning with Malaysia’s renewable energy goals [1][3].
Commitment to Clean Energy
Dr. Shamir Kumar Nandy, BZI’s Group Managing Director, highlighted the project’s alignment with Malaysia’s energy-transition agenda. The initiative reflects a firm commitment to pioneering clean-energy investments. It’s designed to accelerate Malaysia’s adoption of future-ready energy solutions by leveraging capital, technology, and industrial partnerships [2][4].
The Road Ahead
Set to commence in early 2026, the project is expected to become operational by late 2027. This timeline demonstrates a clear path towards not just local, but regional energy transformation. By becoming a lead player in green hydrogen, Malaysia is stepping up to meet both domestic and international energy demands, thereby supporting its Zero Carbon Emission 2050 vision [3][5].
