26 June 2023, Kuala Lumpur – MIMOS Berhad and Asia Gas Hub Sdn Bhd have exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore a collaboration towards developing a digital facilitation and gas trading platform for Malaysia that aims to establish the nation as a regional hub for gas trading. By leveraging their complementary expertise and resources, MIMOS and Asia Gas Hub will explore advanced technologies and innovative solutions to enable seamless and efficient online-based gas trading operations in the country.
The development of the Malaysia Gas Xchange (MGX) platform will create a transparent and cost-effective environment for gas trading, enhancing Malaysia’s energy security over the long term and improving new investment into gas infrastructure and supply. MGX also holds the potential to drive economic growth, attract foreign investment, and contribute to Malaysia’s economic diversification and global competitiveness.
Dr Iskandar Samad, MIMOS President/CEO said, “We welcome AGH’s efforts that align to the liberalisation of the gas marketplace in view of long-term energy security for the nation, and this collaboration provides an opportunity to explore the use of local technology options in big data analytics, IoT metering, and blockchain-based smart contracts to deliver its objectives.”
Faris Mustaffa, Managing Director/CEO of Asia Gas Hub, said “We are grateful for MIMOS’ expertise and support in our efforts to transform the Malaysia gas market, improve access to imported LNG, and provide transparent and competitive market prices through the platform.”
