Petronas and Jera strengthen partnership for a sustainable energy future

Malaysia’s national oil and gas company, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) and Japanese energy company, Jera have agreed to expand their collaboration across the gas value chain with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) including providing reliable LNG supply for Japan. The agreement builds upon Petronas and Jera’s long-established partnership since 1983.

The MoU was signed during Energy Asia 2025, by Datuk Adif Zulkifli, EVP Gas & Maritime Business, and Ryosuke Tsugaru, Senior Managing Executive Officer and Chief Low Carbon Officer, witnessed by Petronas President and Group Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik, and Jera Global Chief Executive Officer and Chair, Yukio Kani.

Petronas has been delivering LNG to Japan for over four decades and is committed to continue meeting customer needs with reliable delivery of LNG. Jera, a 50-50 joint venture between Tokyo Electric Company’s subsidiary Tepco Fuel Power and Chubu Electric Power, has been purchasing LNG from Malaysia and other countries and securing stable energy supply for the customers. As long-term partners, Petronas and Jera are mutually committed to meet market demands with lower-carbon energy solutions. The companies will continue to explore initiatives aligned with this shared goal as part of both organization’s broader decarbonisation strategy.
