In celebrating over four decades of educational excellence since 1981, Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) has launched a 40th Anniversary commemorative coffee table book to mark the institution’s journey towards educational excellence.
Entitled “The Inspiring 40 Years and Beyond”, the book showcases INSTEP’s growth from a temporary training school in 1981 to an internationally-recognised technical learning centre, covering its purpose, people, experience and aspirations in support of PETRONAS’ sustainable development agenda.
Key attendees at the virtual launch include PETRONAS’s Vice President of Group Human Resource Management, Puan Farehana Hanapiah, who is also the Board Chairperson of PETRONAS Technical Training Sdn Bhd (PTTSB), and INSTEP’s Chief Executive Officer, En. Idris Ibrahim.
Commenting on INSTEP’s 40th anniversary achievement, Pn Farehana said, “For the past four decades, INSTEP has been a key partner in PETRONAS’ growth as a leading energy player through the high-quality graduates it produced, in support of PETRONAS’ sustainability ambitions. INSTEP now plays a vital role in building the workforce of the future who are equipped with the right expertise in low-carbon and clean energy solutions.”
Over the years, INSTEP has continuously evolved in its experiential learning to generate job-ready engineers and technicians. The Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP), which simulates actual upstream and downstream plant scenarios in safe operating conditions, has become an industry game changer that draws interest among leading industry players in the global arena.
“We have grown from strength-to-strength and are proud to have produced over 130,000 highly-skilled oil and gas professionals with customers and learners from over 35 countries. Today, our graduates are contributing to over 30 refinery and petrochemical plants at more than 100 platforms around the world”, said En. Idris.
INSTEP had also taken a step forward as a sustainability corroborator to PETRONAS sustainability agenda by transforming itself into a greener and more energy-efficient campus with the installation of solar rooftop solutions up to 1.4MWp in solar capacity. This milestone is commemorated in the same ceremony through a signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by En. Idris and Head of PETRONAS New Energy and Chief Executive Officer of PETRONAS Power Sdn Bhd, Dr. Jason Mariyappan.
“The solar installation at INSTEP forms part of the overall effort to reduce carbon emissions from PETRONAS’ internal assets across the world, in line with PETRONAS’ commitment towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Moving forward, we are exploring further opportunities and will introduce more internal low carbon solutions across our operations,” said Dr. Jay.
Under the MoU, the solar rooftops will be installed across INSTEP’s buildings and rooftops at its Terengganu campus. This effort will see INSTEP achieve potential cost reductions in energy consumption of up to RM4 million in the span of two decades. Additionally, a 5kWP solar training system will be installed on campus, enabling hands-on training for students with renewable energy modules and products. This supports INSTEP’s aspiration to produce highly skilled graduates for the renewable energy industry.
