H.E. Vincent PiketAmbassador and Head of Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia

The launch of the “Green Technology from Europe” publication marks a milestone in the EU’s cooperation with Malaysia on green technology. We are proud to be the largest single exhibitor at the International Green Technology and Eco-Product Exhibition and Conference in Malaysia (IGEM 2010). With close to 40 companies showcasing goods and services technologies from Northern, Southern and Central Europe in industries as diverse as energy, water and solid waste, the EU is showing its wish to engage with Malaysia as a green technology trading partner and a destination for green tech investment.

The EU’s prominent participation at IGEM 2010 underscores our global position at the cutting-edge of green technology. Our economic strategy for this decade, called the EU 2020 Strategy, highlights green technology as a new source of growth and of job creation. “Smart growth” will help us meet climate change goals, it will enable us to generate greater resource efficiency and it will raise productivity. Achieving this requires that EU businesses reach out to the emerging economies in Asia, including South-East Asia. With its rich manufacturing base and its well-developed research infrastructure, Malaysia is proving especially attractive to EU firms.

I am very glad that the EU and its Member States have been such a close partner of the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water ever since it was set up in April 2009. Over the past year, we held a policy dialogue on green technology with the purpose of sharing policies and regulatory frameworks for green technology. We also brought over EU experts to exchange knowhow on regulatory frameworks and on incentives for green tech and renewable energy. Later this year we aim to set up a new business platform for generating further ideas on how the use of green technology can be further promoted in industry as well as society as a whole.

The Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water has been instrumental in generating a major debate in Malaysia about green growth and the role of green technologies especially in business. I would like to congratulate the Ministry, and in particular its Minister Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui, for this and for organising the IGEM. The EU, its Members States and its companies are glad to be your partner in this major event.

1.0 Energy, Environment and Green Technology

The Country’s Future Lies in the Green Field

Malaysia’s overabundance and good supply of fossil energy resources have served the country for decades in attracting foreign investments, thus becoming a benchmark example for many others. The attractive infrastructure of low-priced energy as well as their effects on logistics and many other areas have served the country to a large extent in becoming an international centre of excellence for the manufacturing industries, with many of the world’s largest corporations establishing their (largest) production facility in the country.

Therefore, the country has enjoyed a period of tremendous wealth and prosperity. During this dynamic period of rapid economic and population growth, however, the shadow side of the development, for instance an appropriate waste, water and /or sewerage management system and long-term energy security has been largely neglected. In addition, per capita CO2 emission has increased by 226% since 1990, and only 5% of waste is currently recycled while the country counts a total of 231 landfills with no appropriate solution in sight. In comparison, many developed countries have a recycling rate of approximately 50%. Like in many locations in the world, recent years of prosperity and growth were unbalanced in terms of sustainability.

Lost chances and opportunities in recent decades

The great proverb ‘We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children.’ has been in fact overlooked in the past: during the recent few decades of prosperity, the country’s most valuable assets, the fossil resources of Oil and Gas, which have been built over thousands of years, have been nearly used off in less than one generation. Incomes from these assets have been used in consumptive ways and government budgets are largely dependent on this soon depleted source. Hardly any of this income has been invested to secure a sustainable energy supply and security for future generations. This is the time when far-sighted statesmen are required to come forward and to display much courage in order to replace politicians’ often short-sighted perspectives.

The ‘Fifth Fuel Policy’ targeting to diversify energy resources for power regeneration was successfully introduced in 2001 with the aim of having a higher share of Renewable Energy (RE). Nevertheless, the results during the first years were very much disappointing: The target of the 8th Malaysia Plan of attaining just 600 MW RE share was failed by far, and the RE targets of the 9th Malaysia Plan had even been reduced to 350 MW. This could be regarded as a rather poor official outcome lagging strongly behind as compared to the overall global achievements and target settings. Interestingly and opposing to the poor results, private off-grid RE production in the country has experienced a strong increase mainly due to plantation players generating RE to power their operations. But as the current feed-in-tariffs are far from being attractive for long-term investments, the energy is not supplied into the official grid system.

Today, Malaysia, with only about 1% share of grid-connected renewable energy in the country’s energy mix, is far behind the RE levels of most industrial countries and even many of the less developed neighbours in the region.

‹‹‹Green Technology – Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee

Green Technology as key driver of the future economic growth in Malaysia

Europe’s example of developing an entire new industry segment with immense future potential, the Green Technology field, is a great example for Malaysia to likewise develop a new future growth industry. This as well goes along with the country’s aims to achieve a high-income status and to focus more strongly on the services sector. Green technologies could and should become a new future growth sector to generate sustainability, secure economic growth as well as to solidify the country’s international position and reputation. To become outstanding in the field of Green Technology and to claim, at least, a regional leadership, Malaysia needs to gain much ground. A ‘competitive edge’ is required in regional or global context to reach out of the average or the current status.

Political good will and support on highest level: A perfect starting point

The formation of the National Green Technology Council by the relevant ministries chaired by Prime Minister YAB Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and the formation of a dedicated Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water on 9th April 2009 are the first steps into the right direction. But a greener future path is not only the responsibility of the leader, whether on federal or on state levels, but a concern of each and every citizen. Therefore the level of awareness and overall green consciousness becomes crucial.

Support and commitment on the highest level are further secured with a ‘National Green Technology Policy’ built on the country’s core pillars, and the Government has identified Green Technology as a key driver of future economic growth. An ‘Energy Efficiency Master Plan’ and a ‘National Renewable Energy Policy’ are in the making and the allocation of several incentives, grants and soft loans are bound to be in place. Apart from the drafted policies, the implementation and the outcomes are decisive and therefore the relevant Acts need to provide the legislative security for a long- term participation and investment from the private sector. Incentive schemes favouring ‘green’ sustainable investment will be of crucial importance, and attractive Feed-In-Tariffs for Renewable Energy to be fed into the national grid-system is only one of the many needed ‘drivers’. It requires a consolidated and result-driven partnership by all stakeholders to introduce right policies and secure its implementation for a joint impact on a greener and sustainable Malaysian future.

The launch of the 10th Malaysia Plan and its impacts on a ‘new sustainability’ and greener future is much awaited to address a sustainable future energy path and major topics such as green house gas emissions, well defining the climate change as one of the predominantly largest current global challenges.

Europe: A global greentech leader and partner

Europe as the overall world leader in Green Technology is an example par excellence in policy and incentive schemes and therefore the perfect match for Malaysia. European technologies are much admired and in the highest demand around the globe. Thus, Europe is committed to contribute much to the identification and development of Green Technology as a key driver of future economic growth in Malaysia.

The EEGT sub Committees ‘Energy Efficiency, Green Buildings, Renewable Energy, Waste and Water’ of the EUMCCI are the most active and cooperative partners for exchange of information and a solution provider to the private sector, the Malaysian Government and further related stakeholders.

1.1 Energy Efficiency

In the larger context of reducing our contribution to global warming, the switch to alternative, renewable energy sources must operate in tandem with energy efficiency to be of any consequence. Here we focus on two stakeholders located on the opposite end of the energy intensity spectrum – the manufacturing industry and the rural village.

Industrial Efficiency

IntroductionMalaysia is home to many industrial manufacturing facilities which are large energy consumers such as the cement, steel, electrical and electronic, textile, food and beverage, automotive, petrochemical, and many more. The manufacturing industry generates about RM490 billion a year in revenue and the foreign investor segment in these industries is significant.

The consumption of less energy throughout the lifecycle of a product from design to material source to manufacturing to distribution and consumption includes:• designfactors(uselessmaterial,userecycledmaterial,manufacturingprocessissimplerandrequiresless

chemicals and energy, eliminate hazardous chemicals);• materialfactors(lessenergyintensivematerials,recycledmaterials,recyclablematerials,nanomaterials);• process(lessenergyintensiveprocess,equipmentefficiency,motors,compressors,etc.);• energytopowerthebuildingisgeneratedin-situasmuchaspossibleandviarenewableenergy;• rainwater harvesting to reduce reliance on reticulated water (but cannot eliminate need for reticulated

water);• wastewatertreatmentinsitutoavoidinstallingareticulatedsewersystemtoacentraltreatmentplant;• distributionmode(lightweightpacking,reducedpackingmaterial,intelligentdistributionroute).

StatusThere are efforts by various government agencies and statutory bodies to promote ‘green technology’ principles for example:• aLifecycleAssessmentprojectisspearheadedbySIRIMbutnotyettranslatedtoawideraudience;• a cleaner production section in the Department of Environment which has started some awareness

programs on efficient industrial processes;• a pilot energy audit project for the industrial sector was done under the aegis of the Department of

Environment some years ago but has not been translated into a wider program;• TNBhasenergyauditandefficiencyprojectsbutwhichfocusonregularisingthequalityoftheelectrical

supply to the industrial plant.

However, the coordination and expansion of these various efforts is not apparent as the Green Technology Agenda has only recently been formally incorporated as a ministerial portfolio in mid 2009. There are no visible policies or programs which demonstrate a comprehensive and strategic approach to achieving the Industrial Energy Efficiency and no single agency which provides direction and information to manufacturing industries.


9


RecommendationsThe Green Technology Council needs to address the formulation of Industrial Energy Efficiency (IEE) Policy which will drive the energy efficiency transformation across all manufacturing sectors including the processing of agricultural products. There has to be a single coordinated platform which could take shape as an independent institution for the cross-fertilisation of technologies that can accelerate the transformation to energy efficiency.

The institution could accelerate adoption of EE by collecting and disseminating information to interested parties and to develop benchmarks for EE performance. The institution would have direct reporting to the recently formed Green Technology Council chaired by the Prime Minister. Additional functions of the Institution are listed below. It is hoped that these EUMCCI recommendations would augment the proposed transformation of the Malaysian Energy Center to the Malaysian Green Technology Center.

Rural Electrification

IntroductionPeninsular Malaysia already has a high rate of electrification today (approximately 99%). Sabah and Sarawak, in contrast, have lower rates: 77% in Sabah and 67% in Sarawak. Malaysia has invested significant funds to bring electricity to islands, rural areas and schools in both Peninsular and East Malaysia. The effectiveness of some of the projects implemented has been questioned as electricity supply has either been erratic or non-performing due to failures in design, installation and maintenance. This is a significant waste of the taxpayer’s funds.

StatusThe Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (MRRD) is tasked with bringing more electricity supply to rural areas from 2010 until 2012 as one of the National Key Result Areas initiated by the Prime Minister’s Government Transformation Program.

IEE Institution Function EUMCCI Function

1. A center to collate all activities in IEE and make that information available on websites. There will be linkages to the relevant implementing agency and information sources.

Provide EU technical advice on the structuring of the IEE.

2. Drive energy efficiency research, bringing together research institutions and private sector partners from the local and international arena.

Coordinate links with EU research institutions.

3. Develop guidelines for Energy Efficiency in conjunction with experts in the respective fields including equipment energy rating system and create EE benchmarks.

Recommend EU industry experts in energy efficiency and equipment energy rating system.

4. Host sect oral seminars on EE and encourage technology exhibitions which bring in accessible technology for the SMIs.

Organise technology exhibitions on and facilitate business in EE equipment and processes, energy audit equipment, materials, packaging, etc.

5. Develop stepwise programs for EE adoption in SMIS. Will coordinate with SMIDEC to link EE improvements to SMI loans in support of the adoption of EE in the SMIs.

Organise EU contribution to capacity building bring experts for pilot projects in energy efficiency in various SMI sectors.

10



The MRRD’s rural electrification program will connect 140,000 additional homes by 2012 – 95% of which will be in Sabah and Sarawak. Although connecting to grid-based electricity is the default option, some rural areas are distant from electricity generation and transmission infrastructure. In these cases, distributed power-generation technologies such as solar hybrid power generation or micro hydro-electricity will be applied, comprising approximately 17% of the new connections in 2010–12.

RecommendationsThere is a need for a set of Rural Electrification Guidelines which ideally should be developed by the MEGTW for application to rural electrification projects regardless of whether they are implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development or private investors. These guidelines will take into consideration:

• Consultation with consumers as well as other stakeholders for planning of current and future energydemand (minimum 15 years planning horizon).

• Developmentofcriteriaforidentifyingthemostoptimalelectricitygenerationanddistributiondesignbasedon site resources, accessibility and least cost.

• Development of criteria to rationalise choosing between grid-connection and independent off-grid, mini-grids, smart grids, etc.

• Draftperformancecriteriawhichincludemaintenanceandreplacement.• Establishmentofaccountabilityrequirementstothepublic,StategovernmentandtheFederalagenciesfor

rural electricity supply planning and permission, electricity supply performance, consumption data and greenhouse gas accounting, etc.

• Formulation of attractive incentive schemes tied to performance of electricity supply, maintenance andreplacement.

1.2 Green Building

IntroductionGreen buildings are domestic or commercial properties that have been designed and built to minimize its environmental impact during construction, ongoing use and at the end of its lifecycle. The green building sector includes the construction and building industry, which comprises of (1) office, (2) retail, (3) residential and (4) civil engineering / infrastructure. Per capita CO2-emission in Malaysia has been increased by 226 % since 1990 and currently stands at 7 Mt/a.

According to a study from the United Nations Environmental Program, the Building and Construction sector is responsible for about 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions. Energy consumption of domestic and commercial buildings makes up around 15% and cement manufacturing alone is responsible for approximately 6%. Land use changes makes up a huge part of these emissions as well.

For Malaysia, 2009 has seen significant domestic activity in this sector with the launch of the tailor-made Malaysian Green Building Index which was mainly industry driven with PAM (Malaysian Institute of Architects) and ACEM (Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia) having been the main proponents. Furthermore, the strong support from the Government that was announced for the 2010 budget in the form of tax rebates and exemption of stamp duty will support the uptake. The Ministry of Works as well is pushing the uptake for government buildings.


11


Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced at the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference Copenhagen 2009 ‘that Malaysia is adopting an indicator of a voluntary reduction of up to 40% in terms of emissions intensity of GDP (gross domestic product) by the year 2020 compared to 2005 levels’. In addition to this, the Prime Minister recently signed an agreement with the Masdar project in Abu Dhabi to build a carbon neutral city in Malaysia and plans are being developed to turn Putrajaya into a Green City.

All of the above are very encouraging developments that have the potential to make a significant contribution to the lowering of the environmental impact per unit of built environment.

Support and Revision of GBI IndexThe GBI index is a green building certification tool that is based on a score with points that have been allocated for a range of environmental impact categories related to the building. These include:• EnergyEfficiency• IndoorEnvironmentalQuality• SustainableSitePlanningandManagement• MaterialsandResources• WaterEfficiency• Innovation

A certification tool like the GBI index is powerful in its ability to shift the market, but certification schemes can become a limitation rather than looking for the most cost effective and holistic solutions that benefit the users, owners and the environment. Experiences in other countries have shown the danger of buildings with excellent certification ratings that however disappointed in practise by having a huge footprint in the building envelope or consumed a lot of energy in operation.

Recommendations• ContinuouslyreviewtheexperiencewiththeGBIratingsandthepointallocationsfordifferentcategoriesin

terms of their environmental and business effectiveness.• Introduce increasinglyrealoutputperformancemeasure, likeenergyconsumptionpermetersquareand

overall carbon footprint of building envelope and the building in operation.• Supportdomesticsuppliersof technologiesandmaterialsand related innovationsso thathighervolume

order to ensure that this new market has appropriate supply of skills and knowledge.

Overall government strategy for the carbon footprint of the building sector in MalaysiaMalaysia’s ambitious target of up to 40% reduction in Carbon Intensity would require a macro government driven strategy to map the Carbon footprint of the Building Industry and to ensure the reduction of the carbon footprint with relevant policy measures and smart technology transfer.

Recommendations• Development of a national Low Carbon footprint strategy for the Building and Construction Industry in

Malaysia.• Strong collaboration of various ministries on the subject of Green Building and Construction under the

direction of the Green Technology Council.

12



• Usage of an efficient mechanism for the integration, acquisition and adaptation of innovative and costeffective foreign technologies.

• Development of a domestic innovation and incentive strategy for locally developed green buildingtechnology.

• Development of a strategy for the green retrofitting of buildings in particular for government relatedproperties.

• Draftingandimplementation of an overall human resource and research strategy for Malaysia in the context of Green Building Technology in order to drive the creation of local high value jobs and export success.

1.3 Renewable Energy

IntroductionRenewable Energy (RE) was given prominence in 1999 when RE was introduced as the Fifth Fuel for power generation after gas, oil, coal and hydro. To encourage RE projects, Small Renewable Energy Programme (SREP) was launched in the 8th Malaysia Plan (2001-2005). SREP is to develop small grid-connected, renewable energy power plants of not more than 10 MW capacity.

The target in the 8th Malaysia Plan (2001-2005) was for SREP to supply 600MW or 5% of the country’s electricity demand by 2005. However, by 2005, only a total of 12MW were connected to the grid. The target was later reduced to 350MW in the 9th Malaysia Plan (2006-2010). By end of 2009, only a total of 74.5MW of SREP have been connected.

The actual challenges faced by SREP developers were low off take tariff, fuel supply security, long distance to nearest grid interconnection, expensive technologies and difficulty securing project financing. Factors that were supposed to encourage the development of SREP include higher tariff at 21sen/kWh compared to IPPs, more favourable terms in the RE Power Purchase Agreement (REPPA) and additional income from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).

In 2009, Green Technology has become the new focus with the portfolio being added to the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water. The National Green Technology Council, chaired by the Prime Minister, is expected to drive the growth of green technology and it is expected that the RE industry will grow in tandem.

The industry has recently been given a boost when the Prime Minister announced the following commitments, albeit with some caveats, during separate global events:• Raisingrenewableenergytoabout2,000MWby2020.• Voluntarycarbonreductionofupto40%intermsofemissionsintensityofGDPbytheyear2020compared

to 2005 levels.

Renewable Energy (RE) PolicyAs of Jan 2010, Malaysia does not have a single comprehensive Policy or Act that focuses on RE comprehensively and that can drive its growth. Several fiscal incentives had been introduced and various programmes were initiated such as the Small Renewable Energy Programme (SREP), the Biomass-Based Power Generation and Cogeneration (BioGen) Programme and the Malaysian Building Integrated Photovoltaic (MBIPV) project in order to encourage the growth of RE. Despite all these, Malaysia still falls way short of the targeted 350MW renewable energy by 2010.


13


In the current scenario, RE can be categorised under both the Green Technology and Energy sectors. Whilst Green Technology is still in its infancy; the Energy sector, though matured, is still based on the National Energy Policy 1979, and followed by the National Depletion Policy 1980 and Fuel Diversification Strategies in 1981 and 2001.

StatusThe Energy Commission is currently developing an Energy Blueprint that would lead to a comprehensive National Energy Policy (NEP) that is expected to include RE. Details however are not available publicly.

In 2009, National Green Technology Policy (NGTP) was launched but RE only features as a sub-sector in the NGTP.

The Malaysian Government is planning to table the Renewable Energy Act in Parliament this year that is expected to introduce the Feed in Tariff (FIT).

RecommendationThere is a need for a comprehensive policy on RE that plans, facilitates and encourages the development of RE projects.

IssuesThe issues that should be addressed in the policy include the following:

• EnsuringsustainabilitywhenselectingREsourcesandtechnologies.• FeedinTariff(FIT)thatcompensatesthecostofprojectandvariesaccordingtotechnologyutilised.• AsSREPislimitedto10MW,theFITshouldbestructuredtoincludeprojectofmorethan10MW.• EncouragePPAsthatarefavourabletothedevelopmentoflargescaleREprojects.• IncentiviselargeIPPstotakeupREprojects,aspartoftheirPPAs.• Consider Smart Grid technology that intelligently regulates the power generation dispatch, in view of a

It is proposed that the RE policy be expanded to include and encourage ‘Clean Power’ especially in the large scale power generation initiatives. It is a current fact that for power supply security and sustainability, the large scale thermal power generation schemes is still essential. Recognising this, the RE policy should ensure utilisation of ‘Clean Power’ technologies, by encouraging the following:

• Equipnewthermalplantswiththebestavailableefficiencythatiseconomicallyviable.• IntegratingthermalplantswithREand/orco-generation.• Retrofitoldplantstoincreaseefficiencyanddecreasepollution.• Minimiseenvironmentalandsocialimpactofhydropowerprojectsthroughintelligentplanning,execution

and consultation with the public and stakeholders.• Considercarboncaptureandstoragesolutions.Newthermalprojectsshouldbe‘carboncaptureready’.

Conducive environment for Green Technologies and Renewable EnergyMalaysia should provide a conducive environment to encourage growth of green technology and renewable energy industry.

StatusCertain measures and incentives are available or being planned but there has been lack of awareness and enforcement.

RecommendationsIn order to a wide spread acceptance of renewable energy sources by industry players but also by the general public, a business environment which promotes the use of renewable energy should be created:

• Mostimportantisthatallpoliciesandpoliticalmeasuresconcerningrenewableenergiesmustbeseeninalong term. Investments in the energy sector are already generally high and into new technologies even higher. Private and public players will only invest into more costly energy sources if the framework is favourable and gives a stable income outlook for the future. Therefore financial support but also Feed in Tariffs must be guaranteed by laws for the maximal period of time.

• Onceformulatedpoliciesshouldresultinbindingregulations.Thiswillensurethatthepolicieswillnotbeeasily changed and that actual results can be seen. Binding regulations should be vigorously enforced.

• Veryimportantistheavailabilityforsufficientfinancingfortherenewableenergysectorthroughgrants/co-financing or special loans also to private investors.

• Marketbasedinstrumentsshouldbeusedbythegovernmenttomakeinvestmentsintogreentechnologiesmore profitable and easier (like carbon taxes, higher road taxes, other forms of energy taxes which burdens high polluters or on the other side special tax reliefs for renewable energy investments). They will increase the competitiveness of renewable energy sources versus traditional ones.

• Thereshouldbeaspecialfocusonresearchanddevelopmentingreentechnologies.Technologyplatformsshould help to forge closer ties between academic institutions, private companies but also public players. Joint technology partnerships should be encouraged. Special funding for green technology research projects should be set up.

• Educating the public on the advantages in everyday life must be increased starting from in schools tospecial campaigns aiming adult citizens. This will increase the acceptance in the public for green projects.

• Tocreatemoreawarenessinthepubliconecoqualitiesofproducts, eco labelling should be introduced. It should be showcased that products were produced in energy efficient way and specially by using renewable energy sources.

• Asystemofpublicgreenprocurementshouldbeintroduced.Onlyifthegovernmentsthemselvesleadtheway privates will follow.

• It is mandatory to ensure that measures taken are leading to the best possible and desired results.Therefore a special green technology audit scheme should be set up to evaluate and improve environmental performances.

• Inordertoavoidlosingeconomiccompetitivenessregionalrenewableenergy policy cooperation must be strengthened.

Many measures for a conducive environment have already been introduced, but only a continuous dialogue with the private sector and fine tuning will ensure that these measures will be accepted.

1.4 Waste

IntroductionMalaysia is currently producing more than 23,000 tonnes of solid waste each day and this figure is estimated to increase dramatically to more than 30,000 tonnes by 2020. New solutions must be found or implemented soon to overcome the lack of treatment, recovery and disposal facilities. Currently, less than 5% of waste is recycled.

The Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act, gazetted in 2007, is a major breakthrough to reorganise the sector: When, (if) the Act comes into force, waste management will be undertaken by the KPKT (Ministry of Housing and Local Government) while the different states of the federation will keep a crucial role in supporting this action. A very interesting change brought by the new approach is the adoption of 22 year concessions for the waste collection companies, giving them long-term visibility and encouraging them to proceed to strong investments.

Unfortunately, the Act currently only deals with collection, trans fer and transportation. Most of the current problems are at the landfill sites with many having reached their over-capacity limit, most operating according to old standards (open dumpsites), with little or no management, or having little or no suitable infrastructure. Few have any control over leachate to ground and air; with many being located close to critical areas and water sources.

Current status - Peninsula Malaysia

Solid (Domestic) WasteIn 2007, the Government of Malaysia passed a new act on Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management, transferring executive authority on solid waste management and public cleansing in Peninsula Malaysia from the Local Authorities to Federal Government. New federal institutions were established to manage the new regime including the Department of National Solid Waste Management and the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation, the latter being the operational arm.The Act approves the privatisation of Solid Waste and concession agreements have been issued for the collection of household and similar solid waste as well as public cleansing on an interim basis based on annual agreements.

Interim ConcessionsIn September 1995, the Government decided that the management of solid waste is to be privatised and in 1998, as an initial step, three companies were identified on an interim basis, based on yearly agreements to work and agreed transfer of collections with each LA.

Central Region - Alam FloraNorthern Region - E Idaman (Formerly Northern Waste)Southern Region - Southern Waste

A draft bill to transfer the executive authority from the LAs to the Federal Government was prepared in 1998. However, the bill was not tabled for the Parliament and the interim arrangement dragged on for nine years compounding a more unfavourable situation for the concessionaires.

16



Then, in 2006; the Government decided to expedite the finalisation of the draft bill and in 2007 the Cabinet decided that the interim privatisation should be transferred into a full privatisation in the Southern and Central Zones as soon as the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 came into force. In the Northern Zone, an interim privatisation prevailed for a year before the privatisation was implemented.

To date some 57 LAs from a total of 144 LAs across Peninsula Malaysia have been passed over to the Concessionaires for solid waste collection and transportation.

Scheduled Hazardous WastesIn 1992, Kualiti Alam had issued a letter of understanding with a 15 year of Exclusivity Agreement to implement a scheduled Waste Management System throughout Peninsula Malaysia expiring in 2013. Operations commenced in 1998, providing services for collection, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of scheduled hazardous waste.

Clinical (Medical) WastesIn 1997, three Concessionaires commence under a 15 year term agreement with the government; build and operate services and facilities for the collection, storage, transportation and treatment of clinical wastes nationally, including East Malaysia.

Current status - East Malaysia

Solid and Schedule (Hazardous) WasteIn 1998, Sarawak Wastes Management was formed with a joint venture between Sarawak Incorporated and Trienekens of Germany. In 1999, Trienekens Sarawak (TS), was awarded the contract to Build Operate Transfer (BOT), an Integrated Solid Wastes Management System and facilities throughout Sarawak; commencing operations in June 2000. TS provides services for the collection and transportation of solid municipal wastes and the operation of treatment and disposal facilities, catering for municipal, industrial and scheduled (hazardous) wastes as well as recycling and recovery plants.

In Sabah, solid, municipal, industrial and scheduled hazardous wastes, with the exception of Clinical Wastes is collected and disposed by the L.As.

Clinical (Medical) WastesFaber Medi-Serve under a 15-year concession provides services throughout East Malaysia for the collection, storage, transportation and treatment of Clinical (Medical) Wastes.

RecommendationsThe key issues facing Malaysia into the future are primarily to instil public awareness and changing mindset for wastes reduction, recycling and disposal; and the need to establish integrated waste management facilities to include:

• Recoveryandrecycleplants.• Bio-massandcompostingfacilities.• Treatmentfacilitiesorplantwithco-generation.• Managedsanitaryandinertlandfillsiteswithgasextractionforco-generation.• Reclamationandclean-upofdumpsitesandnon-sanitarylandfills.• Toxicwasterecoveryanddisposalfacilities.• Trainingandeducationprogrammes.


17


The EU can assist greatly in the process of implementing new PPP ventures and going upscale in the establishment of such integrated facilities. European world leading firms and SME’s can partner with their Malaysian counterparts to bring the country to the highest levels: going from a solid waste disposal policy to a sustainable solid waste management and valorisation strategy.

1.5 Water

IntroductionThe creation of the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications in 2004 has enabled more focused management of the country’s water resources. For the first time, water and sewerage management were brought under the same Ministry. In 2009, the formation of the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water showed the increasing importance given to the environmental industries.

Under Malaysian law, water is the subject of control and regulation by both the Federal and State Government. As of 2004, this utility is managed by the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communication (now Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water). Water supply in each state is the responsibility of the respective State, (sometimes district bodies) and is known as State Public Works Department (PWD) and State Water Supply Department / Board and water supply companies.

The Malaysian water industry has kept pace with increasing domestic and industrial water demand. Water coverage has been remarkable for a developing country with a national average of 94.8% of the population served with potable water that meets international standards. A population breakdown shows that 97% of urban and 91% of rural population is connected with potable water.

Estimated demand for water in Malaysia

There is a recognised need to increase investment in this sector to upgrade the infrastructure and services to the consumer. The present structure of the industry is changing, traditionally being state-run (a business model without cost recovery in most cases) and deterring investment. An ambitious program for industry reform has been started with the intention to transfer assets to the Federal Government removing responsibility for CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) until the states can run at cost recovery. This is in progress but being contested and currently 3/14 states have transferred their assets.

Recent and anticipated legislative changes have opened the way for new investment and new opportunities. Two bills i.e. the Water Services Industry Bill (WSIA) 2006 and the National Water Services Commission Bill (SPAN) 2006. PAAB or WAMCo (The Water Asset Management Company) have been commissioned by the Ministry of Finance to perform a key role in the restructuring process and will alleviate the heavy debts of the State Water Operators in return for the water assets. Future CAPEX will be tendered through PAAB on the back of 3 and 30 year business plans submitted to SPAN. The States will then only retain the responsibility for overseeing the operation and maintenance of the assets.

The Federal Government’s role is to monitor the progress of PAAB, provide skilled manpower and assist in technical requirements in civil engineering works.

Water ManagementWater quality is seen to be deteriorating in some parts of the country due to poor river management. In recent times, leachate from rubbish dumps, poorly planned settlements and waste from animal husbandry has further deteriorated water quality. Some of these rivers are the raw source for water treatment plants resulting in higher costs for the treatment potable water. The Government is taking immediate action to overcome this by closing down a number of landfills and taking a broader view of river basin management.

Sewerage services continue to be expanded to ensure the quality of effluent discharged into receiving water bodies comply with environmental standards and safeguard public health. Upgrading, rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing sewerage treatment systems which are in the catchments of public water supply systems will continue to be given priority.

Awareness campaigns on the importance of managing wastewater and sewerage systems for maintaining cleanliness and protecting the environment as well as water resources will be intensified. Research and development on reuse of sludge for industrial, agricultural and landscape purposes as well as wastewater reclamation for non-potable purposes will be undertaken. The provision in the Sewerage Services Act 1993, which mandates properties within 30 metres of centralised sewerage systems being connected to the system has been enforced. The increase in connections to the centralised system will facilitate the improvement of public and environmental health as well as effectiveness of the centralised STPs.

IWK Indah Water Konsortium is the private 100% government owned wastewater utility that serves all states in the Peninsula other than Kelantan. IWK does not yet come under the water/wastewater reform plans.

Clarity on industry reforms and capital planning processConsiderable investment is required in the water and wastewater industries to meet the nation’s 2020 targets. Currently, the move towards a nationalised regulated industry has slowed as a result of changes that are required to meet the very different demands faced by different states. This is also relevant for the Wastewater Industry that requires standardisation as well as its incorporation into a more holistic approach to managing the water cycle. PAAB has already made progress raising finance through new issuance vehicles for circa RM60bn and this will be used for future CAPEX written in the utilities business plans and approved by the regulator. The finance that is being raised is only for the Water Utilities and does not address the requirements of the Wastewater Industry.

An additional concern is the rate at which the infrastructure needs to be delivered to provide a strain on a relatively small base of qualified personnel.

››› Green Technology –A Green New Deal for Malaysia?

A Green New Deal for Malaysia?R.T. Bachmann1 and R. Hamzah

1. IntroductionThe recent past has seen a number of global crises such as rising food prices (2007), oil/energy security (2008), water quality and shortage (UNEP, 2009), economic downturn and climate (Robins et al., 2009). Although the causes of these crises vary, at a fundamental level they share a common feature: the gross misallocation of capital. In the last two decades, much capital has been poured into property, fossil fuels, and structured financial assets with embedded derivatives, but comparatively little has been invested in renewable energy, energy efficiency, public transportation, sustainable agriculture, and land and water conservation (UNEP, 2009).

Robins et al. (2009) and UNEP (2009a,b) advocate a fiscal stimulus package to key climate change investments to lay the foundation for a sustainable, low-carbon, energy efficient infrastructure. The key areas to be targeted by such a fiscal stimulus package are shown in Table 1.

In order to create the green stimulus for business, investors and taxpayers, Barbier (2009) estimated that the G-20 should spend 1 % of GDP on reducing carbon recovery over the next two years, equivalent to USD 460bn. G-20 countries host 66 % of the world population, account for 90 % of the global GDP, emit 80 % of GHG and provide fossil fuel subsidies. The contribution of 1 % from GDP is also in line with recommendations of the IEA’s 2008 World Energy Outlook, which estimates that clean energy investments of USD 465bn per year need to be made from 2010-30.

As shown in Table 2, China and the USA took the lead in terms of both the size of their overall stimulus plans as well as the extent of the green dimension. In November 2008, China launched its USD 584bn package with almost 40 % of this allocated to “green” themes, most notably rail, grids and water infrastructure, along with dedicated spending on environmental improvement. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan committed USD 787bn to kick-start the economy, with USD 94bn for renewables, building efficiency, low-carbon vehicles, mass transit, grids and water. Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea introduced a dedicated Green New Deal worth USD 32.1bn, with more than 80 % allocated to environmental themes.

2. Malaysia - Status QuoIn November 2008, Malaysia launched its first economic stimulus program amounting to Rm 7bn (Table 3), followed by Malaysia’s 2nd RM60bn (USD 20bn) stimulus package in March 2009 (Table 4), to be implemented over 2009 and 2010, including RM 15bn as fiscal injection, RM 25bn in Guarantee Funds, RM 10bn for equity investments, RM 7bn for private finance initiatives and off-budget projects, as well as RM 3bn in tax incentives (http6).

In the following an attempt has been made to compare Malaysia’s 1st and 2nd stimulus program with IEAs and Barbier et al. (2009) recommendations. If one assumes a world population of 7.5 bn people in 2020, the IEA’s worldwide stimulus package would cost USD 61 per capita per annum. Based on this figure one can calculate the size of a hypothetical Malaysian green new deal stimulus package to be RM 6.3 bn p.a. (USD 1.93 bn p.a.) assuming a population of 31.8 m people in 2020 (http4). A similar figure is obtained when taking 1 % of Malaysia’s GDP (2009) of RM 680 bn (http5) as suggested by Barbier (2009).

Based on the break-down of each stimulus package provided in Tables 3 and 4, RM 5 bn from Thrust 3 (2nd economic stimulus package) or 12 % may qualify as stimulus package for green development. Assuming that this money will be spend over a 2 year period (2009-2010) RM 2.5 bn will be spent p.a., which is RM 4 bn short of the recommended calculated value (1 % of GDP). A significant share of the packages is spent on infrastructure projects (schools, hospitals, airport, police stations, military camps), however no details are available whether the ministry of finance adopts zero emission and energy- and resource-efficient buildings policies.


25


Despite these shortcomings the Malaysian government has launched a number of programs and projects along with fiscal incentives over the years to help pave the way towards are more sustainable economy. Details are summarised in Table 5 and demonstrate Malaysia’s growing commitment to sustainable energy, energy efficiency and management. At the same time three sectors, sustainable transport, water and waste, and agriculture, may be singled out requiring further concrete policies, programs and projects as proposed in Table 1.

3. Quo Vadis?As stated by UNEP (2009a,b) most countries (including Malaysia) have a number of counter-productive subsidies embedded in the national policy architecture. These have an impact at the national level as well as on the global commons.


29


In the 10th Malaysia Plan (http8), the Malaysian government is aiming to implement subsidy rationalisation across the board. There is also intent to eventually delinking subsidy from the energy use. If implemented as intended this will then reveal the real cost of energy production. Agricultural subsidies on synthetic inputs (fertilizers) need to be reformed so that organic farming inputs are made more competitive and more accessible to producers. Another critical area supported by detrimental subsidies is fossil fuels, inhibiting the growth of renewables. UNEP also recommends prioritization of subsidies (e.g. direct cash grants, tax breaks and loan guarantees) on fisheries, as the forecasted depletion of fisheries represents a livelihoods and a health problem of serious proportions. Although some subsidies promote responsible fishing practices, most subsidies directly contribute to over-fishing. Governments are encouraged to do a full review of their subsidies to make sure that they do not have such dire consequences, and to operationalize the “polluter pays” principle, in order to promote the internalization of environmental costs.

It is also pivotal to lay the foundation for a sustainable, green energy generation infrastructure. In October 2010, the Renewable Energy Bill, prepared by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water, will be tabled to the parliament aiming, if approved, to increase renewable energy from 1 % to 5.5 % of electricity supply by 2015 (http20). The swift approval and implementation of the RE Bill is vital not the least because Malaysia’s proven gas, oil and coal reserves (none for Uranium) amount to only 77.2 EJ (or 1.2 % of the world), 15.6 EJ (0.2 %) and 42.5 EJ (0.2 %), respectively. With a current primary energy carrier consumption rate of 1.45 EJ/a (gas), 1.19 EJ/a (oil) and 0.371 EJ/a (coal) and no action to change the fossil energy generation infrastructure and fuel pricing system, the proven Malaysian gas reserves may only last for 53, oil for 13 and coal for 115 years. Similar figures for oil and gas have been reported by KeTTHA (http 16).

In order to:• preserveMalaysia’sfossilfuelreservesforhigh-valueapplicationsformanygenerationstocome,• decarbonizethepowergenerationindustry,• minimize the contribution of conventional biogenic fossil fuel power plant emissions to climate

change,• fulfillPrimeMinisterDatukSeriNajibTunRazakpledgeatCOP15toreduceMalaysia’sCO2 emissions

by 40 % in 2020, and• reducedependencyonfuelimports

It is therefore crucial to decouple envisaged GDP growth from energy consumption through improved energy efficiency, switch to high-value, energy extensive industries and transport systems as well as sustainable, green energy generation.

Competitiveness of the Malaysian economy continues to slip from 21st rank in the world in 2008/09 to 24th in 2009/10 and 26th in 2010/11 according to the Geneva-based World Economic Forum (WEF, 2010). WEF recommends that Malaysia improve its higher education system, especially increasing enrolment rates at the secondary and tertiary levels, step up preparations to convert into an innovation-driven country where companies compete through innovation, producing new value-added and different goods using the most sophisticated production processes.

30



The government of Malaysia established the Green Technology Financing Scheme in 2009, with total amount of RM1.5 billion (Table 5; http7). This is an effort to improve the supply and utilization of green technology. Funding is provided for any proven technology/product that satisfies the following criteria:• Minimizedegradationofenvironment;• Zeroorlowgreenhousegasemission;• Safeforuseandpromoteshealthyandimprovedenvironmentforinhabitants;• Conservetheuseofenergyandnaturalresources;and• Promotetheuseofrenewableenergyresources.

According to the scheme, the Government will bear 2 % of the total interest / profit rate. In addition, the Government will provide a guarantee of 60 % on the financing amount via Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad (CGC), with the remaining 40 % financing risk to be borne by participating financial institutions (PFIs). As of 26 Aug 2010, approved green technology for financing is only RM 112,935,000 or < 8 % of the overall budget available. Businesses are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this scheme.

The Malaysian government in general and the Ministry of Finance in particular could use their stimulus package to “green” the automobile industry and promote public transport. Governments can achieve this by providing time-bound incentives such as tax credits for consumers to switch to fuel-efficient and non-polluting or less polluting cars. The Government can also directly invest in public transport and public transport infrastructure, for bus and train transit systems, as well as for non-motorized infrastructure, such as pedestrian and bicycle lanes. At the policy level, they can use regulations and incentive measures to discourage the use of private vehicles and encourage the use of public transport by commuters. In addition, they should encourage the trade-in of obsolete and fuel-inefficient vehicles for high-efficiency, low carbon footprint vehicles including electrical motorbikes and hybrid cars, particularly in regions with high population density suffering from fuel-sapping, air-polluting stop-and-go traffic.

The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (MHLG) needs to continue with the implementation of the vision for Malaysia to become a material cycle society (JICA, 2006). The action plan for ‘A Beautiful and Clean Malaysia’ (the ABC Plan) prepared in 1988 produced a road map for the development of solid waste management (SWM) under the local authorities. However, the ABC Plan was never authorised nor implemented in total, although MHLG initiated its first and second recycling programs in 1993 and 2000 respectively. Solid waste reduction and recovery, currently at a low 2-5 %, need to be increased to at least 17 % by 2020 (MHLG, 2005; JICA, 2006). In the long-term, however, Malaysia’s solid waste recycling rate ought to match if not exceed those of other developed countries such as Japan and Germany, in order to use the natural resources efficiently, safely and with minimum impact on the environment.


31


The Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA) and Ministry of Agriculture need to continue to rationalize their policies, incentives and institutions that govern or influence the water sector. Particular attention should be given to improve the efficiency of irrigation systems, which currently account for 70 - 80 % of water consumption. In this regard, equitable allocation of water rights or water use rights accompanied by appropriate pricing of water is of particular importance to ensure the financial viability of the sector as well as poor people’s secured access to clean water in the long term. In addition, terms of trade should reflect the undervalued water embedded in commodities to promote efficient use of water. Improved sewage treatment and energy recovery in water treatment works and distribution networks should be encouraged through ministerial directives and fiscal incentives. For example, the city of Keene in New Hampshire (USA) is recovering energy from excess water pressure in distribution networks by replacing pressure reducing valves with micro-hydropower turbine. The annual electricity will be 350 MWh with an annual revenue offset of US-$ 31,400 (Corless, 2010).

4. ConclusionThe first and second economic stimuli packages provide RM 2.5 bn p.a. for green developments, which is RM 4 bn p.a. short of IEAs recommended annual contributions. A significant share of the overall packages is spent on infrastructure projects (schools, hospitals, airport, police stations, military camps), however no details are available whether the ministry of finance adopts zero emission and energy- and resource-efficient buildings policies.

There have and continue to be multi-facetted laws, programmes, policies, good will and intentions to transform Malaysia’s economy and put it on sound, competitive and sustainable footings. However, for laws, programmes and policies to work, law enforcement, quantitative ‘green’ targets and most of all conducive market conditions with prices reflecting the true costs of resources and energy are required to drive Malaysia towards being an energy and resource efficient economy and society.

The recent stimulus packages 1 + 2 and 10th Malaysian Plan are small but important steps in the right direction on Malaysia’s long, perilous journey towards sustainability.

• SattlerAgLeading producer of double-membrane gas holders which are used as storage systems for biogas from sewage plants (STP, WWTP), biogas plants or agricultural applications.

The aim was clear: use every ray of sunshine to maximum effect. The maximum level

of effi ciency is not necessarily the most critical factor. The intelligent interaction of

various other factors is far more important. A constant effi ciency rating over a wide

input voltage range, for example, and a rapid and precise response to the smallest

change in the weather. Plus: reliable, uninterrupted operation. The new Fronius IG

Plus generation of inverters combines all these factors for maximum energy yield.

Profea (M) Sdn Bhd

About Profea MalaysiaProfea Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“Profea Malaysia”) was incorporated in Malaysia in 2006 as a Malaysian arm of Profea Projektabwicklung & Bauträger GmbH, Austria and has since been actively involved in providing a wide array of consultancy services within the areas of Healthcare, Property and Environment. The principals have extensive experience in Europe and in Malaysia, in many high-profile successful projects.

Selected Green Technology Projects:

1. Improving Waste Management Standards and Alternative MethodsProfea Malaysia has been working with the Ministry of Health, Malaysia and the Department of Environment, Malaysia in updating current environmental standards to comply with international requirements. These standards include those issued by the WHO as well as UK Standards such as PG51 and IPR52. Furthermore, Profea Malaysia has been involved in various initiatives to introduce greener alternatives to incineration into Malaysia, including microwave, disinfection and solar thermal treatment methods.

Most recently, Profea Malaysia is introducing a Solid Waste Management process in Malaysia that does not just ‘excavate, relocate and refill’ but will ‘remediate, reclaim and reform’ current operational or closed landfill sites. Our Solid Waste Management process is designed to reduce the quantity of waste products by volume by 60 - 70% within 2 years, reduce carbon/methane emissions by 35% compared to current levels, while producing useful by-products to support growing demands by the energy and/or industrial sectors.

2. IOTACS SolutionTogether with IOTACS Technology Sdn. Bhd., Profea Malaysia implemented the IOTACS air conditioning system for operating theatres at the 821-bed Sultannah Nur Zahirah Hospital in Terengganu and is in the process of extending it to another 22 hospitals nationwide. IOTACS reduces energy use by 67 percent compared to a conventional air conditioning system or an annual reduction of carbon footprint by 360kg per unit. This also translates to an average monthly operating cost savings of RM6,000 per unit.

3. Green Approach to Planning and Design of Healthcare EstatesHaving been invited to provide advisory services for the planning and design of a local health tourism facility, Profea Malaysia has contributed various environmentally-friendly approaches and features to the project. These included minimising the environmental impact of the development through minimum land clearing and construction of well-insulated low rise buildings engineered for low energy requirements and maximised energy independence.

PELLENC Selective Technologies

Pellenc Selective Technologies develops, produces and markets optical sorting machines for household and industrial waste. Pellenc ST has taken commingled waste sorting equipment to a new level, with a comprehensive range of high technology sorting machines that analyse, recognise, separate and eject selected recyclables or contaminants from mixed municipal, construction, industrial, packaging and domestic waste. Using advanced techniques such as spectroscopy, multispectral vision scanning, infra-red and induction, Pellenc equipment quite simply sorts and separates at a new level of speed and efficiency, purity and selectiveness. Pellenc ST machines and recycling solutions are now present in 40 countries and the company has formed subsidiaries in Spain, Japan and soon many others countries. 70% of Pellenc’s production is exported and the organisation recently celebrated its 500th installation. A continuous research and development programme ensures that customer-led sorting and separating solutions keep Pellenc ST to the fore in the recycling and reclamation industries.

There is a Pellenc sorting machine for virtually every application and the process recognises and separates polymers, cardboard, plastics, PET, WEEE or contaminants in RDF and secondary metals and enhances the value of C&I and MSW streams. There are also technical options that allow the processing of difficult materials such as PETG, plastic labels, multiple layering and so-on. Target material is ejected into output box via air jet nozzles and, in many Pellenc installations, a number of units work in tandem to produce highly specific levels of separation and end-product purity. Pellenc ST products are designed to sort by different methods for different results, whether it be sorting by colour, material type, fraction or recognised contaminant.

New markets for Pellenc ST now see machines working successfully in municipal solid waste and construction and industrial waste treatment, where residual waste streams are accurately processed and separated to reclaim even greater volumes of reusable material or extract contaminants with considerable precision. These applications not only increase saleable product quantities and quality but are also making significant contributions towards reducing tip-to-landfill material. The economical and environmental benefits that are a direct result of these processes provide a further added value to discerning customers who invest in this state-of-the-art technology.

More than 80 machines from Pellenc ST are operating on Asian waste everyday. From India, China, Taiwan, South Korea to Japan, Pellenc ST is actively developing new sorting solutions especially for the needs in Asia in the industry of municipal solid waste, construction and industrial waste treatment.

Endress + Hauser Conducta GmbH & Co. KG

CARBOSYS CH4 – a system for Clean Development Mechanism

The emissions monitor from Endress+Hauser includes methane gas emissions subject to Clean Development Mechanism – CDM.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was established by the United Nations (UNFCCC) in order to reach their targets in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction. The guide lines and rules of CDM put the focus on developing and emerging countries. Carbon Emission Reduction (CER) created in these countries can be traded back to other countries and used to balance the overall GHG emission of a company or even a state.

Such projects have to obtain measurable achievements regarding to the climate affections and a contribution to the sustainable progress of the host countries, for example by the effort of environment-friendly technologies. Methane is in comparison to CO2 twenty-one times more dangerous Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and should therefore be collected and burned for the producing of heat or electricity.

For the measuring of the emission values from methane gas … of bio, landfill or carbon mine gas Endress+Hauser supplies the monitoring-solution CARBOSYS CH4 that registers methane gas masses with the highest accuracy. CABOSYS CH4 complies all requirements of the CDM and offers therewith the opportunity to sell the determined emission values CER (Certified Emission Reduction) in the emissions trade or to use it for their own compensation.

CABOSYS CH4 ensures highest industrial safety through an ingenious Ex-safety concept, measuring cabinet and air conditioning together with its robust construction. The proven data manager Memograph M guarantees the safety of the data. The thereby recorded measuring values and signals will be saved tamper-proofed and can be requested worldwide by Ethernet, internet or GSM-modem. The interruption-free current supply provides the reliability even by running in regions with an unstable current supply. The tele-alarm system offers additional safety - undesirable operating status or disturbances with connected systems can be reported by e-mail or SMS to the responsible persons.

The worldwide service network of Endress+Hauser guarantees the ideal business of CABOSYS CH4 through yearly re-calibration or maintenance of the system all around the world.

Solar Plus - Produção de Painéis Solares, S. A.

Solar Plus – Produção de Painéis Solares SA is a Portuguese company founded in 2005 starting its production on March of 2008. Our core business is to manufacture market and develop Thin Film solar modules based on amorphous silicon semiconductors (a-Si).

Our manufacturing facilities and development centre are located at Oliveira do Bairro (Aveiro, Portugal) and are the first to fully produce Thin Film solar modules in Portugal. The installed technology allows us to integrate in the same manufacturing unit all the production steps instilling our company with high technology/innovation values and standards.

Currently our installed production capacity is 7 MW, with plans to increase that capacity to 20 MW by 2011.

The installed technology (amorphous silicon (a-Si), tandem junction solar modules deposited through a PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process) allows to rationalize the consumption of raw materials and energy, producing high performance products, with a very low environmental impact and at competitive prices.

Solar Plus Quality and Environmental management systems and PVmodules are all certified by TÜV Rheinland ensuring that our PV solutions have always permanent monitoring and the highest quality standards on the market.

To reinforce our environmental concerns Solar Plus also decided to validate the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) which results on a public Environmental Declaration allowing the disclosure of the company environmental policies and results.

We want to emphasize that our knowledge goes beyond our manufacturing capabilities. In fact we have the experience to fully manage photovoltaic projects. We are also able to provide scalable turn-key solutions for solar farms as well as consultancy in PV Components and Management systems.

Solar Plus is looking into the present, where the use of photovoltaic solar panels to seize the endogenous energy resources is a reality, and in the future, where the integration of photovoltaic modules in orderly and self-sustained urban constructions is a technical side with enormous potential. BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic’s) is a very interesting application for Solar Plus Photovoltaic Modules, because they can produce energy with diffuse radiation and different orientation out of the ideal angle. On our product portfolio we have a high performance transparent module and our standard modules can have different padrons, different levels of transparencies and different colors for any given application.

EU-Malaysia Cooperation in Green TechnologyEU Expertise Transfer Sessions (ETS), 1-2 JUNE 2010

On June 1st and 2nd at the Marriot Putrajaya, the EUMCCI and KeTTHA in association with the EU delegation to Malaysia organized an Expertise Transfer Session in the area of Green Technology. The two day event, which saw a team of green technology specialists from the EU meet with their Malaysian counterparts and government officials, was designed to share best practices, experiences and know-how in Green Technology and discuss greater cooperation on a wide range of environmental issues.

The meetings are part of an EU-funded project that aims to enhance business cooperation between the EU and Malaysia in the services sector. The event, which proved to be a productive and useful event for all involved, was opened by the EU ambassador, H.E. Vincent Piket and the Deputy Secretary General of Green Technology and Water, Y. Bhg. Dato’ Nor Azmal Mohd Nazir from the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology & Water of Malaysia (MEGTW).

Ambassador Piket, the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia, thanked the five experts who had come from Europe for the session and talked of Malaysia’s ambition to go green. He spoke about the Malaysian National Green Technology Council which convened for the first time in 2010, and which is being headed by the Prime Minister, a clear indicator of Malaysian desire to succeed in the area of Green Technology. The Council, to be chaired by Prime Minister, YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, will comprise members from various ministries to discuss and approve green technology policies and other related issues.

Like several of the speakers over the two day session, the ambassador alluded to the Prime Minister’s Copenhagen speech where he spoke of Malaysia cutting its green house gas emissions by up to 40% by 2020. The ambassador spoke highly of Malaysia’s good development, industrial basis and its desire to become a green technology leader within ASEAN. He called it a “remarkable year for Malaysia” from a Green Technology perspective. He mentioned the global goals that the EU and Malaysia both share, and the strides the latter has taken in undertaking more research projects in the field, with projects jumping in numbers from seven to fourteen.

The Deputy Secretary General for his part continued by saying Malaysia now has the opportunity to learn from a world leader in the EU. He talked of Malaysia having a “strong friend in the EU” and although it is a new sector in Malaysia, “we are very serious about it.”

Green Practice makes Green Perfect15 simple steps to go green and save our earthAt home and at work, save energy, buy smart,

re-use, recycle and ultimately save money

1. Change your light bulbs. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) can last for up to four years and use a quarter of the energy normal lights bulbs use. They also produce more light.

2. Un-plug appliances when you are not using them. Simple but effective.

3. Use a clothesline to dry your clothes rather than a dryer.4. Take shorter showers. This will lower your water and heating bills

also.5. Install a low-flow showerhead. You will make savings on your

energy bill which will quickly pay for the cost of the installation.6. Walk to work. This will improve your health also. If you are too far

to walk, get public transport.7. Do not buy bottled water. Purify your tap water by using a filter and

use a re-usable aluminum water bottle instead of a plastic one.8. Borrow books from libraries instead of buying.9. Recycle your old cellular phones and other electronic items.10. Don’t use paper when you don’t have to – email instead.11. Copy and print on both sides of paper.12. Re-use folders, paper clips, and envelopes when possible.13. Clean or replace filters in your air conditioning units.14. Buy good conditioned second hand products online.15. Use rechargeable batteries.
