Dialog Group Berhad is pleased to announce that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Dialog Terminals Langsat Sdn. Bhd., will be expanding its storage facilities by an additional 150,000 cubic metres for renewable and petroleum products at its terminal in Tanjung Langsat, Johor Darul Ta’zim, Malaysia. The expansion is expected to be completed in the first quarter of FY2027.

Of the new storage capacity, 100,000 cubic metres will be dedicated to EcoCeres Limited, a subsidiary of EcoCeres Inc., under a take-or-pay storage agreement. The remaining 50,000 cubic metres is anticipated to be leased to third-party customers such as multinational companies and trading houses.

This expansion is driven by EcoCeres’ significant investment in a new production facility in Pasir Gudang, Johor Darul Ta’zim, Malaysia, which is strategically located less than 1 km from DTL3. The new biorefinery, expected to be operational in the second half of 2025, will produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils. These products will be stored in the dedicated tanks at DTL3, leveraging rundown pipelines for direct connection and enhancing operational efficiency.

EcoCeres, a pure-play renewable fuel producer, has over a decade of experience in biomass utilisation and is backed by international investors Bain Capital and Kerogen Capital. With a mission to address climate change challenges, EcoCeres has established itself as a global innovator in converting waste-based biomass into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. As an International Sustainability and Carbon Certification-certified decarbonisation solution provider, EcoCeres produces industrial-scale SAF and HVO through proprietary processes.

The biorefinery will have an annual capacity of up to 350,000 tonnes, with DTL3’s storage facilities optimising the biorefinery’s investment in storage infrastructure. This logistical integration will further enhance operational efficiency, demonstrating DIALOG’s commitment to supporting innovative and sustainable industrial developments.

This strategic partnership and expansion highlight DIALOG’s dedication to enhancing its storage capabilities and providing efficient, integrated solutions for its clients. The new facilities will strengthen DIALOG’s position in the renewable and petroleum products market, supporting its long-term growth and sustainability objectives.
