being implemented . On this theme , PETRONAS is increasing its efforts to optimise natural gas utilisation as a cleaner source of fuel in energy transition .
Just like any other industry in Malaysia , the O & G sector is embracing sustainability . This is the only way to ensure our future generations will be able to live in a similar environment as we do , if not better . This is not just the Government ’ s effort , but all of us , as individuals need to work together to achieve these goals . The oil and gas industry has been identified as the biggest contributor of global emission based on research conducted by McKinsey & Company , “ directly and indirectly , the oil and gas industry accounts for 42 % of global emissions ” ( Beck et . al ., 2020 ]. The oil and gas industry is also the industry that has shown the most effort in embracing the SDGs .
