The Terengganu Inc Group is actively participating in the green energy initiative through partnership with various parties such as GSPARX, Ocean Vantage Engineering and TESDEC by installing solar panels on industrial buildings.

This environmental approach was head started by Primula Beach Hotel (capacity: 0.32 MW), Permint Plywood Sdn Bhd (capacity: 0.13 MW) and PESAKA Timber Sdn Bhd (capacity: 0.32 MW).

Terengganu Inc Group adopted the green technology effort with the installation of 3 biogas plants at TDM Kemaman, TDM Sungai Tong and Ladang Rakyat Trengganu Bukit Bandi Palm Oil Mill.

The Biogas Power Plants would provide long-term environmental care while also helping to develop the existing treatment system of oil palm mills to avoid polluting the environment.

The 3 plants with an investment of RM56 million have the potential to produce a total of 25,000,000 kWh of renewable energy each year.

Terengganu Inc via Asia CarbonX Change Plt has successfully redeemed 50MWh of I-REC certified by The International REC Standard representing 50MWh of electricity generated from renewable sources. Whereby, the redemption falls under Scope 2 emissions and its associated reporting.
