THE ROAD TO A SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT ENERGY FUTURE by MARK RAO C OUNTRIES across the globe are striving towards a sustainable and greener energy future as part of the historic Paris Agreement — a landmark treaty to combat climate change and its impacts. However, underlying this drive is the often overlooked yet vast economic opportunities latent in this new energy future. Mounting climate woes have awakened a growing consciousness, not only in individuals and selected interest groups, but across industries and governments worldwide too. Renewable energy (RE) is, thus, no longer a buzzword but imperative in securing a sustainable and clean energy future. In Malaysia’s case, the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC) is leading the charge towards the global goals. Part of the ministry’s task is to instil in the 32 million people living in Malaysia today that RE is not just about saving the environment, but creating an efficient energy future that feeds the economy. Among its commitments vis-à-vis the Paris Agreement, Malaysia pledged to reduce carbon emissions per GDP by 45% by 2030, relative to its carbon intensity in 2005. The country is estimated to have produced 370 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent today. Malaysia is well on its way to achieve this, having already reduced the emissions intensity by 33%, but the country further set itself the ambitious and arduous task of increasing its RE capacity mix from 2% in 2016 to 20% by 2025. Achieving this target — which excludes large-scale hydro projects above 100MW — requires an additional 4GW in RE capacity to be injected and commercialised in the country. While no small task, these efforts are needed if Malaysia wants to achieve a sustainable, secure and affordable energy future in what countries today have coined as “energy trilemma”. The opportunities are there for a cleaner and efficient energy future, but the question is, how does Malaysia capitalise on these opportunities? Nation’s New Economic Frontier MESTECC Minister Yeo Bee Yin said we should not think within the confines of climate change alone, but consider the wider economic benefits when talking about renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE). “Energy has long been the enabler for Malaysia’s economic development and prosperity. RE and EE are carving out a new economic frontier for the country in terms of job and economic opportunities. “The question now is, how do we leverage on this decarbonisation trend to create these opportunities for Malaysians as we need to look above and beyond the Paris Agreement,” she said. RE — particularly solar projects — generates more jobs per GWh of production than fossil fuels, natural gas or coal, in which Malaysia is currently reliant on to meet its energy demand. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Malaysia was the biggest solar photovoltaic (PV) employer in South-East Asia last year with over 54,300 people employed by the industry — up from the 40,300 employed in 2017. This includes the manufacturing sector where Malaysia ranks among the top three PV producers in the world. As RE is forecast to reach price parity with fossil fuels in the not too distant future, green energy will be equitable across all income groups in Malaysia. It is here that the country can achieve the trinity of a sustainable, secured and affordable energy future. Malaysia’s RE initiatives are in tandem with its efforts to improve EE within the same 2025 deadline, as rapid industriali- sation over the past two decades saw energy demand growing faster than Malaysia’s GDP. This necessitated the need to enact ener- gy-efficient policies and the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan was formu- lated in 2015 to put Malaysia on a sustaina- ble energy path via green initiatives. The implementation of the action plan is expected to save 52,233GWh of electricity over the plan period, from 2015 to 2025, compared to a business-as-usual scenario. This will result in an electricity demand growth reduction of 8% which, in turn, will reduce peak demand and the need to build new power plants in the future. There is a huge potential in terms of EE in Malaysia, with the country’s potential energy saving between 2016 and 2030 estimated at RM46.9 billion. Nevertheless, Malaysia is not far-off from achieving its RE and EE goals, ranking a respectable 31st in the World Economic Forum’s latest Energy Transition Index, with system performance and transition readiness at 68% and 55% respectively. Creating a Regulatory Framework for New Energy Transitioning into a sustainable and efficient energy future requires an inclusive and future-focused energy system structure, something that Malaysia is currently embarking on. In fact, legislation could be a good start.

Failing which, Malaysia will be unable to address the energy trilemma facing countries across the globe today,” she said, adding that this is one of the weaknesses in Malaysia’s energy industry today. As such, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act is being drafted and expected to be tabled in Parliament as early as the beginning of next year, with the aim to address the shortfalls in the energy industry. This is expected to further promote the adoption of energy-saving behaviour among Malaysian consumers and businesses.

THE ROAD TO A SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT

ENERGY FUTUREby MARK RAO

COUNTRIES across the globe are striving towards a sustainable and greener energy future as part of the

historic Paris Agreement — a landmark treaty to combat climate change and its impacts.

However, underlying this drive is the often overlooked yet vast economic opportunities latent in this new energy future.

Mounting climate woes have awakened a growing consciousness, not only in individuals and selected interest groups, but across industries and governments worldwide too.

Renewable energy (RE) is, thus, no longer a buzzword but imperative in securing a sustainable and clean energy future. In Malaysia’s case, the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC) is leading the charge towards the global goals.

Part of the ministry’s task is to instil in the 32 million people living in Malaysia today that RE is not just about saving the environment, but creating an efficient energy future that feeds the economy.

Among its commitments vis-à-vis the Paris Agreement, Malaysia pledged to reduce carbon emissions per GDP by 45% by 2030, relative to its carbon intensity in 2005. The country is estimated to have produced 370 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent today.

Malaysia is well on its way to achieve this, having already reduced the emissions intensity by 33%, but the country further set itself the ambitious and arduous task of increasing its RE capacity mix from 2% in 2016 to 20% by 2025.

Achieving this target — which excludes large-scale hydro projects above 100MW — requires an additional 4GW in RE capacity to be injected and commercialised in the country.

While no small task, these efforts are needed if Malaysia wants to achieve a sustainable, secure and affordable energy future in what countries today have coined as “energy trilemma”.

The opportunities are there for a cleaner and efficient energy future, but the question is, how does Malaysia capitalise on these opportunities?

Nation’s New Economic FrontierMESTECC Minister Yeo Bee Yin said we should not think within the confines of climate change alone, but consider the wider economic benefits when talking about renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE).

“Energy has long been the enabler for Malaysia’s economic development and prosperity. RE and EE are carving out a new economic frontier for the country in terms of job and economic opportunities.

GREENTECH MALAYSIA LEADS THE CHARGE FOR GREENER FUTURE

by MARK RAO

THE National Energy Awards (NEA) provides a platform to accelerate green energy adoption among

industry players, while consolidating the nation’s leading position in Asean in new energy.

The 2019 edition of the NEA — which recognised the best practices in energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) — is an initiative by the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC).

As part of its commitment to the Paris Agreement, Malaysia pledged to reduce its carbon emissions per GDP by 45% by 2030, and is on track to achieve this target after reducing emissions by some 33% today.

Nevertheless, the nation needs all the cooperation it can get from local corporations, businesses and industries to achieve this goal in tandem with increasing RE generation capacity mix by 20% in 2025 from only 2% in 2016.

MESTECC deputy secretary general (energy) and NEA 2019 technical committee chair Noor Afifah Abdul Razak said the adoption of EE and RE is the way forward to a sustainable energy future for Malaysia, and the NEA is among the platforms to achieve the target.

“The main objective of the NEA is to actually pick up the winners, so that we can go and compete at the Asean level.

Having this national award will automatically secure our participation,” she told The Malaysian Reserve (TMR).

Noor Afifah said the winners of this edition will represent the country in the Asean Energy Awards (AEA) which will be held in Thailand next month.

“It is a recognition that Malaysia is at the forefront in EE and RE in Asean. We hope that we can further advance our showcase of EE and RE in the region,” she added.

NEA 2019 head judge Chen Thiam Leong said the award is a testament to the advancement made by Malaysian

players in the fields of EE and RE.“In EE, Malaysia is the most advanced in

terms of South-East Asia, while it is only behind Singapore on EE standards. The awareness is there…we do not see today the energy-guzzling buildings (of the past),” he told TMR.

One of the notable winners of the 2019 edition is Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd for its Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 terminal, in the EE Design category.

There are two winners under the RE category, namely Cypark Resources Sdn Bhd for the floating solar project in Negri Sembilan and FGV Palm Industries Sdn

Bhd for the biogas project in Tawau.These companies took home the top

prizes despite the stringent assessment process applied to all participants, with the judging criteria further benchmarked against the AEA standards.

However, this stringent assessment did see only runner-ups for the Retrofitted Building and Off-grid (Power) Award categories, despite the signif icant achievements managed by these companies.

For the former, Intellisense Sdn Bhd managed to achieve sizeable energy reductions for the Subang Parade Mall in

Selangor, while Universiti Malaysia Sarawak’s on-campus RE centre not only includes a micro-hydro system, but substantially reduced carbon emissions.

Chen said the level of competitiveness among the NEA 2019 participants was so strong that it necessitated a merit award for deserving companies, alongside the two main award categories of EE and RE.

“We are going to kick-start the call for submissions for NEA 2020 beginning next month as we believe that there are so many better projects out there. We want to rope them all in for the future,” he told TMR.

Technology Financing Scheme (GTFS) 2.0 which is eligible for green technology users and producers, as well as energy service companies.

The energy audit conditional grant, meanwhile, aims to encourage companies to conduct audits on how and where they use energy, as well as managing consumption efficiently.

Any company from the industrial sector, excluding those from the government sector, with a minimum energy consumption of 100,000kWh per month, is eligible to apply for the grant.

The grant is capped at RM90,000, subject to plant size and complexity of the work scope. GreenTech Malaysia is the implementing agency for the programme.

The company is also leading the government’s green procurement charge, namely selecting and purchasing environmentally friendly products and services.

Overall government-led procurement reportedly contributes 12% to 15% to

the National Energy Awards (NEA) and International Greentech and Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM).

While the NEA has been touched on, IGEM is South-East Asia’s largest trade event for green technologies and allows players within the sector to tap into the growing Asean market.

The exhibition — which reportedly generated over RM23 billion in business leads since it first launched in 2010 — has attracted over 420,000 visitors from over 50 countries to date.

GreenTech Malaysia is also the implementing agency for the Malaysian Pavilion in Expo 2020 Dubai — a world- expo to be held for about six months from Oct 20, 2020.

With the theme “Energising Sustainability”, the pavilion is expected to draw RM10 billion in potential trade and/or investment value,

as well as generating 1,000 business leads and 20 memoranda of understanding or partnerships.

Participating Malaysian companies at the Dubai expo will further enjoy tax incentives and grant allocations. MESTECC is tasked with leading Malaysia’s participation in the expo.

Green growth has been identified as one of the six game changers to facilitate Malaysia’s growth under the 11th Malaysia Plan. It is estimated that green businesses will contribute approximately 1.5% or RM60 billion to Malaysia’s GDP by 2030, compared to only RM7.9 billion in 2013.

The greater adoption of green technology is, thus, crucial in allowing Malaysia to position itself among the top countries globally, in terms of economic development, citizen well-being and innovation by 2030. — by MARK RAO

MALAYSIA’S goal to be among the leading economies by 2050 in no small part rests on the Malaysian

Green Technology Corp’s (GreenTech Malaysia) success in spearheading the nation’s green agenda.

Incorporated in 2010, GreenTech Malaysia is tasked with developing and promoting green technology as an engine for socio-economic growth in the country.

This is part of Malaysia’s National Green Technology Policy launched back in 2009, geared towards creating a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy.

Among the main objectives set out are reducing energy consumption growth; facilitating innovation and adoption of green technology; ensuring sustainability; and increasing public awareness.

Operating under the purview of the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC), GreenTech Malaysia is tasked with spearheading these initiatives.

Among the company’s services is providing tax allowances for the purchase of green technology assets and tax exemptions for green technology service providers.

This is done via the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) and Green Income Tax Exemption (GITE) schemes which hope to encourage investments in green technology on a project basis for businesses and individual use.

GreenTech Malaysia further provides financing options through the Green

Malaysia’s annual GDP, and 20% of this is targeted to come from green procurement by 2020.

Pursuant to this, the MyHIJAU Directory was enacted to promote the sourcing and purchasing of green products and services in Malaysia.

This initiative sees registered green products and services listed on the directory as a reference for green procurement, green incentives and related green technology initiatives.

The small and medium enterprise (SME) and entrepreneur development programme under this same initiative further aims to help local SMEs secure green label certification for their products and services.

As part of the Low Carbon Cities 2030 challenge, GreenTech Malaysia is working with local authorities to create low-carbon zones in each Malaysian city as cities are estimated to contribute up to 70% of greenhouse emissions.

Aside from these initiatives, GreenTech Malaysia is the implementing agency for

A PLATFORM FOR GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE

by MARK RAO

CENVIRO Sdn Bhd and Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) are leading the way in energy-efficient buildings

which form an integral part of Malaysia’s pledge to create a greener and more sustainable future.

Cenviro, which is Khazanah Nasional Bhd’s flagship green business investment, and Malaysia’s largest telecommunications provider (telco) TM were among the win-ners at the National Energy Awards (NEA) 2019 for Best Practices in Energy Efficiency.

The former took home the top prize in the Green Building category via its subsidiary, Kualiti Alam Sdn Bhd, for the RM25 million Environmental Preservation and Innovation Centre (EPIC) in Negri Sembilan.

Cenviro MD Dr Johari Jalil said EPIC was inspired by the goal to build a low-carbon building where work, lifestyle and innovation meet in a sustainable environment.

“The construction of EPIC adopted the sustainable philosophy from concept to completion towards reducing the building’s energy consumption and adverse impact on the environment.

“EPIC is a catalyst to our national interest to accelerate development in the waste industry,” he told The Malaysian Reserve (TMR).

Sitting on a 5.4-acre (2.19ha) land, EPIC

is an integrated training and development centre for waste management and forms part of Cenviro’s larger Eco Park development. The latter is a 100-acre (40.46ha) development aimed at encouraging recycling and recovery activities, in line with the company’s mandate to grow the green circular economy.

Meanwhile, TM came in first in the Energy Management Building (Small and Medium) category for its Menara TM building in Melaka.

Its VP (support business) Badrul Hisham Ahmad said the energy-efficient building achieved an overall 30% reduction in energy consumption via lighting and de-cooling technologies.

“What is important is that we have changed the lighting system to LED. Based on our study, having LED bulbs would result in over 20% reductions (in energy consumption).

“Furthermore, the team managed to make the de-cooling system more ef f icient by changing sensors and looking at the motor for an additional

10% (energy) saving,” he told TMR.The telco is not resting on its laurels,

identifying solar energy as the next platform to achieve further energy efficiency and savings.

“We are also venturing into solar panel because TM has between 400 and 600 buildings. I believe that given the country’s sun-hour at about 12 hours per day, it is quite sad if we don’t make full use of these resources,” Badrul Hisham said.

Both companies, alongside other winners in NEA 2019, will represent Malaysia in the Asean Energy Awards (AEA) which will be held in September this year in Thailand.

Johari said the chance to represent Malaysia in the AEA is an honour for Cenviro, while allowing the company to expand its reach and visibility in the region.

“This representation is important to us as we have the aspiration to expand our operations cross-border.

“Surely, this will provide us the opportunity and platform to introduce Cenviro to all our potential customers out there,” he said.

As for Badrul Hisham, the AEA would raise awareness that TM is serious in energy efficiency as part of its wider efforts to help Malaysia fulfil its green agenda.
