BANDAR BARU BANGI, Dec 5 – The UTM Centre of Hydrogen Energy (CHE) under the Institute of Future Energy (IFE) recently collaborated with TNB Integrated Learning Solutions (TNB ILSAS) to conduct an informative two-day Ammonia Production Training Course for executives from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). The sessions were held on 4–5 December 2024 at TNB ILSAS in Bangi, Selangor.
The training program aimed to enhance the knowledge and understanding of TNB executives, including project directors, senior managers, managers, and senior engineers from various departments, such as mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering, as well as human resources, law, and ICT. The course focused on exploring the potential of ammonia production technologies in the energy transition phase, particularly for industrial applications.
Expert Speakers and Comprehensive Content
Three distinguished trainers from CHE IFE-UTM conducted the course were Ir. Ts. Dr. Muhammad Arif Ab Aziz, Dr. Muhamed Yusuf Shahul Hamid and Prof. Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud El Sayed Nasef. They addressed a wide range of topics, including Ammonia Production Techniques, exploring advanced synthesis methods; Storage Method, focusing on safe and efficient solutions; Emerging Trends in ammonia production, and Safety Protocols implementing best practices to mitigate risks.
Active Participation and Future Plans
Participants displayed high engagement throughout the sessions, demonstrating a strong interest in the potential of ammonia production in Malaysia. Their enthusiasm and commitment to learning new methods for achieving a sustainable future were evident. This initiative aligns with TNB ILSAS’s mission to promote awareness and education about sustainable energy technologies. It also supports Malaysia’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, as outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Looking ahead, TNB plans to incorporate ammonia production into its industrial strategy, utilizing the insights gained from this training. Future collaborations between Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and TNB ILSAS are expected to further advance sustainable energy initiatives.
