Off-site hydrogen production using SMR of natural gas is a possible option in Malaysia because natural gas already has wide gas utilisation networks in the Peninsular and smaller distribution network in Sarawak as shown in Figure 51. The most likely location of off-site SMR plants would be at petrol service stations that are already equipped for natural gas refuelling of natural gas vehicles (NGV). However, the number of existing petrol stations with NGV refuelling stations is too few at less than 200 (177), Most of them are located in the Klang Valley, and only 5 stations are available on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia (Figure 53).
