Forte Greenergy Sdn Bhd (Forte), a company specialising in hydrogen production and graphite manufacturing, has forged a partnership with Curve H2 Inc to introduce a pioneering initiative centred on hydrogen and graphite-related product production.

Forte said in a statement yesterday that the strategic alliance integrates the company’s expertise in energy solutions with Curve H2’s patented processes based in Canada, aimed at directly converting methane into hydrogen and high value carbon materials.

Simultaneously, Forte and Curve H2 unveiled a strategic partnership with Malaysia Green Technology Corporation Sdn Bhd (MGTC) and Sarawak Economic Development Corporation Energy Sdn Bhd (SEDC Energy) to establish Malaysia’s first plant dedicated to producing turquoise hydrogen and graphite.

Curve H2 CEO Mark Goorwah highlighted the company’s expansion plans and collaborations in North America and the Middle East, alongside its growing operations in Malaysia. “I am impressed by the rapid advancement of Malaysia towards developing a hydrogen economy,” he said.

A key aspect of the initiative is its environmentally friendly process, leveraging plasma technology to ensure carbon dioxide emissions or other pollutants are absent, aligning with global sustainability objectives. – Bernama
