Bureau Veritas (BV) Malaysia and Singapore’s bio-LNG supplier Straits Bio-LNG Pte Ltd have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic alliance focused on producing ISCC EU-certified sustainable bio-methane, according to classification society BV on Wednesday (7 January).
BV said the partnership reinforces BV Malaysia’s commitment to supporting the energy sector’s transition, by working closely with Straits Bio-LNG to develop a sustainable bio-methane liquefaction facility that upholds the highest standards of environmental protection and regulatory compliance.
Through this collaboration, BV Malaysia and Straits Bio-LNG will jointly commit to establishing a comprehensive framework to ensure ISCC EU compliance across Straits Bio-LNG’s supply chain, advancing sustainability practices while meeting evolving regulatory requirements and promoting industry-leading certification benchmarks to support market credibility and trust.
The MOU signing was witnessed by Dato’ Mohd Nizam Abdul Malik, BV Malaysia Country Chief Executive, CIF, and Tan Soo Koong, CEO of Straits Bio-LNG.
According to its website, Straits Bio-LNG procures Compressed Biomethane (CBM) in various parts of South East Asia and produces liquefied biomethane to export to international markets.
Straits Bio-LNG has previously stated that it recognised the growing demand for LNG in key bunkering hubs including Singapore and aims to deliver 250,000 tonnes of bio-LNG will be available yearly in response.
Straits Bio-LNG aims to reach its bio-LNG supply goal by using pioneering methods. It is currently in the advanced stage of testing breaking down Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) by an established biological process with high enzyme concentration in its R&D facility in Malaysia. Both Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) and EFB are sustainable biomass resources listed in the “List of Materials Eligible for ISCC EU Certification” and are therefore compliant with the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED).
