PETRONAS and Sesame Begin Work on AI-Powered Decarbonization Decision Intelligence

Sesame Sustainability is bringing its AI-powered decision intelligence platform to PETRONAS, supporting decarbonization planning across one of the world's largest integrated energy producers.

Sesame Sustainability is working with PETRONAS, one of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas companies, on a selected initiative involving the use of its decision intelligence platform.

The engagement provides an opportunity for both parties to explore relevant capabilities and potential applications within an agreed scope. The initiative reflects ongoing efforts to better understand how emerging digital and AI-enabled technologies may be applied in support of business and sustainability-related considerations.

For a company of PETRONAS’s scale, every decarbonization decision carries enormous weight; the fuel pathways chosen, the retrofits prioritized, and the technologies deployed will shape emissions outcomes across an entire global energy value chain for decades to come. That is precisely the kind of challenge Sesame was built for.

The energy transition isn’t waiting for anyone; market conditions, policy, and technology are all shifting faster than traditional planning cycles can keep up with. Sesame’s decision intelligence platform is built for that pace, giving teams the agile, AI-powered decision-making capabilities needed to stay ahead as the transition accelerates rather than react to it after the fact.

“Working with a company like PETRONAS is exactly why we built Sesame. Working with one of the largest energy producers in the world on a challenge of this kind validates everything our team has worked toward — bringing rigorous, transparent, AI-powered decision-making to the industries that need it most. We’re incredibly excited to be part of PETRONAS’s journey, and proud to play a role in supporting an organization of this scale and importance.” — Emre Gençer, CEO, Sesame Sustainability

Decarbonizing the oil and gas sector is one of the defining challenges of the energy transition and one of the highest-leverage opportunities, given the scale of emissions involved. Sesame’s mission is to give the organizations at the center of that challenge the tools to move faster, with more confidence, and with decisions grounded in real engineering and economic rigor rather than guesswork.

We’re excited to get to work, and even more excited about what this work signals for the road ahead both for PETRONAS and for the broader industry watching how major energy producers put AI and decision intelligence to work on decarbonization.

The engagement is exploratory in nature, and any future opportunities will be considered as appropriate, subject to the respective parties’ priorities and applicable processes.
