5.0 CONCLUSIONS
It is prudent and timely for Malaysia to continue incorporating fuel cells as an alternative energy source and hydrogen as the Sixth Fuel in the total energy mix and the fuel mix for electricity generation under the Fuel Diversification Strategy. This is to ensure that energy for the country is secure and the country will honour its contributions to reducing carbon emissions according to the INDC commitment at COP21 Paris in 2015 that will help to reducing global warming and climate change. More focused R&D efforts in hydrogen technologies, including electrolyzers and fuel cells by the combined enterprise of both government agencies and the industries, are required to ease the transition from the research stage to the infrastructure development and on to the implementation stage in the industry. The substantial investment and support by the government must continue for the development of the fuel cell and hydrogen energy by the effective implementation of research, development and deployment of the flagship programme for fuel cells and hydrogen energy in Malaysia until 2050 and beyond.
