Kuala Lumpur (VNA) – Malaysia's national oil and gas company PETRONAS has partnered with the UK-headquartered Energy Institute (EI) to develop a series of professional and leadership programmes to nurture the next generation of energy leaders.
These programmes will be offered through PETRONAS’ learning institutions, namely, PETRONAS Leadership Centre and the recently launched PETRONAS Energy Transition Academy (P-ETA) managed by Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP).
PETRONAS Senior Vice President of Projects, Technology & Health, Safety, Security & Environment (PT&HSSE) Ir Ts Mohd Yusri Mohamed Yusof said PETRONAS strives to foster impactful innovation ecosystems to support Asia’s Net Zero ambitions.
Ir Yusri added PETRONAS believes that no single entity can drive the energy transition alone, especially in Asia, which is the world's most populous and rapidly developing region. Partnerships with industries, regulators, and institutions like EI are crucial in advancing shared goals, towards creating a sustainable future for the world.
Energy Institute Chief Executive Officer Dr Nick Wayth said they are committed to creating a better energy future for our members and society by accelerating a just global energy transition to Net Zero. This journey includes nurturing the next generation of energy talents to drive the energy transition.
The talent programmes mark another milestone in the technical partnership between PETRONAS and the Energy Institute, which focuses on three pillars: promoting decarbonisation and operational excellence through innovative solutions, enabling informed decision-making with expert advice, and nurturing the next generation of energy professionals./.
