3 Green Technology From Europe 2011
››› Message
H.E. Vincent Piket Ambassador and Head of Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia The 2nd Edition of the “Green Technology from Europe” book is a new milestone in the EU’s commitment to cooperation with Malaysia on green technology. We are proud to be the largest single exhibitor, with nearly 50 booths of EU companies, at the International Green Tech nology and Eco-Product Exhibition and Conference in Malaysia (IGEM) for a second consecutive year. This prominent participation from the EU reflects our wish to engage with Malaysia as a green technology trading partner and a destination for green tech investment. The sectors covered are as diverse as energy and energy efficiency in construction, transportation, manufacturing, water and waste management. The EU’s participation at IGEM 2011 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. Over the past years, we have closely partnered with the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water to hold policy dialogues with the purpose of sharing policies and regulatory frameworks for green technology. EU experts have also visited Malaysia to exchange know how on regulatory frameworks and on incentives for green tech and renewable energy. This will be continued in October, when several EU experts will come to Malaysia to share their ideas on low carbon green growth development. In late 2010, we launched the EU-Malaysia Business Platform, which is meant to generate 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 instru mental 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 Minister Dato’ Sri Peter Chin Fah Kui, for this and for organising the IGEM. The EU, its Members States and the EU companies are glad to be your partner in this major event.

YB Dato’ Sri Peter Chin Fah Kui Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water Malaysia
I am impressed with the overwhelming response and participations in IGEM 2010, and to the many major exhibitors who have indicated their wish to participate again in IGEM 2011, I am proud to welcome them and the EU Pavilion companies for their exuberant participation. This is a fine reflection of the EU’s commitment towards forging continuous cooperation with Malaysia in the promotion of Green Technology. Riding on the success of IGEM 2010 we aim to make this year’s event an even better and bigger show, with the support of as many international companies as possible. The IGEM 2011 theme is “A Green New Deal: The Next Frontier”, which will not only showcase the current green technology solutions in eco-products and services but also current initiatives undertaken in research and development (R&D). The Minister’s Roundtable Meeting and an ‘International Conference on Green Technology & Purchasing’ will also be part of IGEM 2011. The Right Honorable Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak will officially grace the opening of IGEM 2011. Our Prime Minister’s interest in IGEM 2011 is consistent with Malaysia’s commitment towards global climate change, whereby Malaysia has voluntarily pledged a 40% reduction in CO2 in terms of emission intensity of GDP by 2020 based on 2005 levels. The Government views Green Technology as the way forward towards sustainable development and economic growth for the nation. The Economic Transformation Program (ETP) as well as the National Green Technology Policy will be the policy driver to further accelerate our efforts and initiatives towards promoting green technology. Eco-labeling and Environmentally Preferred Purchase (EPP) is a government initiative in Malaysia to establish widespread availability and recognition of green technology products, appliances, equipments and systems in the local market. The government will continue to position green technology as the preferred choice in procurement of products and services. This initiative should also be undertaken by private entities especially through sustainable consumption and production and green business practices. Hence, the public and private sectors, and consumers are urged to adopt green technology for sustainable and consumption of products and services. In the areas of sustainable development, Malaysia continues to be impressed by the remarkable achievements in Europe. We recognise that a great deal of progress has been achieve in the EU particularly in terms of climate change and environmental consciousness and in the effective and sustainable management of resources. We sincerely hope that during IGEM 2011, we will be able to learn from the EU and share your expertise on this matter. With the shared perspectives and the willingness to forge partnerships with each other, we hope that this cooperation and goodwill will assist our nation in achieving sustainable development and economic progress.

Foreword ‹‹‹
Thomas Brandt Head of Environment, Energy and Green Technology (EEGT) Committee, EUMCCI Europe is just amazing in its great commitment to a sustainable future. ‘Smart European Countries’ exchange renewable energy with ‘Smart Grids’, based on supply and demand between countries depending on their daily peak and low renewable energy supply. Many countries are even surpassing their targets on renewable energy year-by-year. The number of ‘Smart (European) Cities’, attracting residents with energy self-sufficiency and 100% renewable energy reach are increasing and ‘Smart Homes’ are the talk of the day. The famous ‘passive houses’ (producing as much energy as they use) are becoming outdated by the new benchmark of ‘active houses’, which produce more energy than needed and supply the national grid. And while you are at work, your washing machine at home automatically turns on at exactly the time when the electricity cost is at the day’s lowest. These are no longer ‘science fiction’ future scenarios – they are green reality in Europe! And finally corporate business partners are selected by the people just as federal governments are elected; by their commitment to sustainability and a greener future. Malaysia is embarking on the right path introducing the F-I-T system, a system which has been successfully chosen by 55 countries worldwide. By 2012 Germany will have 1 million independent power producers and these individual residences, farmers, industrial/office buildings as project companies earn money by ‘feeding into the grid’, as they ‘power’ the economy. Germany is only one of many European benchmark examples for Green Technology and remarkable Green Policies. Be ‘smart’ and join the European Malaysian Chamber and its most agile monthly ‘Green Technology’ committee and meet our European exhibitors at 2011 IGEM.
7 Green Technology From Europe 2011
››› Green Technology – Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee 1.1 Energy, Environment and Green Technology The country’s future lies in the green field Malaysia’s abundant supply of fossil energy resources have served the country well in attracting foreign investments, becoming a benchmark example for many others. The attractive infrastructure of low-priced energy has helped the country to become an international centre of excellence for manufacturing industries, with many of the world’s largest corporations establishing their flagship production facilities in the country. Subsequently the country has enjoyed a period of tremendous wealth and prosperity. During this dynamic period of rapid economic and population growth however, the less glamorous side of development, such as appropriate waste, water and sewerage management systems and long-term energy security have been largely neglected. In addition, the per capita CO2 emission has increased by 226% since 1990, with Malaysia’s waste recycling rate standing at 5%, compared to the recycling rates of many developed countries measured at approximately 50%. As in many other locations around the in the world, Malaysia’s recent years of prosperity and growth were unbalanced in terms of equivalent development in areas 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 in the past, been overlooked. During the recent few decades of prosperity, in less than one generation, Malaysia’s most valuable assets, the fossil resources of oil and gas have been mined to near depletion. Incomes from these assets have been used in consumptive ways and government budgets are largely dependent on this soon to be depleted source. The country and its current generation lives on yesterday-built energy resources and hardly any of this income has been invested in securing a sustainable energy supply for future generations. The ‘Fifth Fuel Policy’ introduced to diversify energy resources for power regeneration was successfully introduced in 2001 with the aim of providing a higher share of Renewable Energy (RE). Despite this incentive, the results during the first years were very disappointing; the target of the 8th Malaysia Plan of attaining the planned share of renewable energy was not met, and the RE targets of the 9th Malaysia Plan were subsequently reduced. The recently set target of a 5.5% renewable energy share of grid-connected electricity by the year 2015 would be a considerable increase from a 2009 level of less than 1%. Interestingly and contrary to the national 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. With this and impending scheduled feed-in tariffs, the right pricing and quantity adjustments, the set targets could be reached or even surpassed. Today, Malaysia, with only approximately a 1% share of grid-connected renewable energy in the country’s energy mix, is far behind the RE levels of most industrial countries and many of the less developed neighbours in the region. Green Technology as key driver of the future economic growth in Malaysia Europe’s development of an entire new industry segment with immense future potential, the Green Technology field, is a great example for Malaysia to following in developing a new future growth industry. This is consistent 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 and secure economic growth, as well as to solidify the country’s international position and reputation. To become
8 Green Technology From Europe 2011
Green Technology – ‹‹‹ Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
outstanding in the field of Green Technology and to claim a regional leadership at the very least, Malaysia needs to gain much ground. Malaysia is the world’s No. 3 manufacturing hub for solar cells and solar modules. However, the country has hardly leveraged this great potential and has yet to take strategic measures to develop a world-level industry downstream. High level policy: A perfect starting point The formation of the National Green Technology Council chaired by Prime Minister YAB Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, comprising of 5 relevant sub-industry committees is an initial step in the right direction. Apart from the drafted policies, the implementation and the outcomes are decisive and the relevant Acts need to provide the legislative security for 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 are only one of the many upcoming ‘drivers’. In this next phase it requires a consolidated and result-driven partnership by all stakeholders, each of the many relevant ministries, certification partners, industry associations and the relevant private industry players to introduce and implement a greener and sustainable future for Malaysia. Year to Year Results Looking into 2010, the “Green Agenda” has advanced significantly with KETTHA and many others spearheading the development. Many major political and legal frameworks have been established, or are in the process of being drafted over the coming months. Amongst them is Pusat Tenaga Malaysia (PTM) which has been renamed recently as Malaysia Green Technology Corporation (GreenTech Malaysia), to fulfil the need for a national energy research centre. The International Green Technology & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference (IGEM) had its inaugural launch in 2010, officiated by the Prime Minister himself and became a major platform for exchange; the EU with its active member states demonstrated its leadership in RE & EE technologies and expertise. The EU Pavilion contributed the largest overall number of exhibitors and over 170 business matchings were organised with interested Malaysian counterparts. These results were well reflected in the media reporting on the event. At the 7-10 Sept 2011 IGEM, the EU Pavilion will be host to an even greater number of exhibitors. Despite the tremendous increase in various green tech-related symposia, workshops and seminars and the given policies and acts, there has not been a resulting increase of renewable energy share. In this respect, Malaysia lags behind its regional neighbours. In spite of being No. 3 in the global production of solar cells and modules, Malaysia has failed to build a world-class supply chain for the renewable energy industry. An omission that was particularly striking at the world’s largest Solar Trade Fair in Munich, Germany last year; of the 1900 exhibitors listed, not a single Malaysian company was registered. Europe: A global Green Tech leader and partner Europe is considered the overall world leader in Green Technology policy and incentive schemes and therefore is the perfect blueprint for Malaysia. European technologies are admired and in 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 EUMCCI EEGT Sub Committees ‘ Energy Efficiency, Green Buildings, Renewable Energy, Waste and Water’ 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. The EUMCCI-EEGT builds on the great partnership with Malaysia’s green tech partners with a wide spectrum of activities ranging from accompanying the Minister in Europe, to organizing Solar-Delegations to Europe, business luncheons, exchange of information and expertise with KETTHA staff and the committee, as well as the IGEM and many more activities.
1.2 Energy Efficiency Introduction Energy efficiency on the part of the consumer is one of the key factors contributing to society’s sustainable energy consumption. Many energy efficiency measures require little capital investment and in all cases, upwards of 30% energy saving can be achieved with little or no investment. Where more capital investment is required, the returns of investment are reasonably achieved between 3 to 7 years. Based on estimates carried out in a number of EU countries, it is possible that when energy efficiency on the part of the consumer is fully practiced, within 10 to 15 years, the total projected energy demand of the country could be easily reduced to 50%. Status The Energy Efficiency Act that is expected to be gazetted in 2013 which is an encouraging move towards a sustainable energy future that recognizes the necessity in accommodating the energy needs of a growing population whilst minimizing the carbon footprint of the nation. In the meantine, KETTHA and the Energy Commission have initiated energy efficiency measures such as: • Efficient Management of Energy Regulation 2008 • Energy labeling of electrical home appliances such as television, refrigerators, fans, air conditioners and lamps • Listing of high efficiency motors and insulation materials • Launching of Energy Efficiency and Conservation Guidelines in 2007 • Fiscal incentives introduced in Budget 2010 for the establishment of energy service companies • Fiscal incentives introduced in Budget 2010 for the replacement or retrofits of equipment for the purpose of energy saving More recently, on July 9th 2011, KETTHA launched an Energy Efficiency Roadmap named SAVE (acronym for Sustainability Achieved via Energy Efficiency), and comprises five key initiatives: • Government leadership by example in energy efficiency • Stimulating the sales of energy- efficient equipment and appliances • Promoting the co-generation of electricity • Promoting building insulation • Stimulating the sales of energy-efficient cars in the market The SAVE program provides a rebate scheme aimed at stimulating the sales of energy-efficient equipment and appliances. The scheme, which provides fixed subsidies for purchase of energy-efficient air-conditioners and refrigerators (both for householders), and replacement chillers (for the commercial sector), will cost the

Green Technology – ‹‹‹ Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
government RM50.2 million (US$16.8million). These are encouraging measures but further work needs to be done to generate greater progress in energy efficiency on the consumption side. Issues and Recommendations Consumer appliances Energy labelling of electrical home appliances is currently in place on a number of items, however many consumers are unaware of this. This is only one of many reasons that uptake of energy efficient appliances is low. It is recommended that: • Awareness programs for consumers be expanded and intensified. These awareness programs would be designed with information that is easily understood and easily comparable to other energy labelling schemes around the world • Energy Efficiency Rebate programs for consumers should be expanded to include a wider range of electrical appliances for the replacement of inefficient appliances which are more energy efficient • The energy efficiency labelling should be extended to other home appliance products such as washing machines, ovens, vacuum cleaners, kettles, etc. Manufacturers should be encouraged to display the energy consumption of appliances whilst waiting for the official labelling process to be completed • Establish mandatory minimum energy efficiency performance standards in addition to energy labelling, with standards increasing over a period of time Manufacturing Industry, Service Industry While some of the fiscal incentives introduced in Budget 2010 were attractive, the response has been disappointing due to poor awareness of the potential benefits, the low number of energy service companies (ESCOs), the difficulty in accessing funding for the energy efficiency projects and the low energy tariff. These issues are particularly magnified for SMEs. It is recommended that: • KETTHA in conjunction with MITI/MIDA embark on greater awareness programs for the industry • A special fund should be established to assist SMEs in taking the first step towards energy efficiency. This may take the form of partial funding or providing a zero interest loan to carry out the energy audit within the period up to 2013. Beyond 2013, the energy audit should be mandatory for every industry without additional funding • The large industrial consumers are already covered by a program established by the Suruhanjaya Tenaga and would not need to be incentivized. However, disincentives should be reinforced for their non-participation • Increase the energy tariff for the industrial and commercial sector in graduated quantums which will drive the move to energy efficiency in a short time • Create a requirement that applications for industry or development loans must include an analysis of the energy efficiency of the proposed project regardless of whether it is an entirely new facility built from ground-up or an expansion of the facility or a refurbishment of the facility. This would apply to both Large Enterprises and SMEs • KETTHA and MITI/MIDA to dialogue with financial institutions to resolve their concerns on approving loans for energy efficiency projects • Create incentives for consumers to implement combined heat, cooling and power conversion projects • Create mandatory program to replace all street lamps with energy efficient alternatives such as solar powered LEDs Transport The energy efficiency of the transport sector is hampered by a number of factors including the continuing use of Euro2 fuel, historic policies which favour car ownership versus public transportation and the subsidized price
11 Green Technology From Europe 2011
››› Green Technology – Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
of transport fuel. However, it is appreciated that major policy commitments have recently been made to improve public transportation, for example, the expansion of the Klang Valley MRT systems, as well as the commitment to gradually remove the fuel subsidies for all except the economically disadvantaged. To further drive efficiency in the transport sector, the recommendations are to: • Commit to graduated targets for reducing the average CO2 emissions of new vehicle models • Commit to a target for the adoption of Euro 5 fuel by 2013 • Extend the Budget 2011 tax incentives for hybrid vehicles to include fully electric vehicles • Provide incentives for conversion to NG or hybrid for fleet operators • Compel all auto manufacturers to provide CO2 emission data (using standardized units) for their vehicle models as a condition for introduction to the market Public institutions Public institutions are the ideal showcase to demonstrate the government’s commitment to energy efficiency (Green Technology). Therefore the recommendations are to: • Create environmental procurement pilot projects with a trial number of local authorities and government departments. Publish the results in terms of technology used, procurement value and energy savings • Develop selection criteria for energy efficient products and technologies and make the criteria transparent on government procurement websites • Establish a mandatory program in government institutions (government offices, hospitals, universities, etc) to replace lighting with energy efficient measures such as LEDs, improving efficiency of HVAC systems etc. Information, Research and Development Advancement in energy efficiency requires intentional creation and dissemination of information for public access. The recommendations are to: • Create a database of energy efficiency practices and case studies which is easily accessible via website portals such as Green Tech Corporation • Increase funds for energy efficiency research and development • Publish updated list of energy efficiency R&D projects and their outcomes on website portals such as Green Tech Corporation
1.3 Green Building and Sustainable Communities Introduction Green Building and Sustainable Communities aim to embody the principles of sustainable development i.e. environmental responsibility, social awareness and economic profitability, in the siting, design, building, maintenance, operation and renovation of buildings. EUMCCI endorses the Green Building movement as a great opportunity for Malaysia to make and accelerate changes in construction practice and technology, to reduce the environmental impacts of the built environment while creating places that are healthier and more satisfying for the Malaysian society. Status Over the last three years, Malaysia has experienced a concerted shift towards the development of green buildings. The demand continues to rise as environmental awareness grows and more companies embrace the practice of corporate social responsibility. Other drivers are governmental support in the form of fiscal incentives and the growing evidence of green building benefits.
12 Green Technology From Europe 2011
Green Technology – ‹‹‹ Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
The Malaysia Green Building Confederation (MGBC) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation established in April 2009. It is supported by the two professional organisations the Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM) and the Association of Consulting Engineers Malaysia (ACEM). In May 2009, PAM and ACEM launched the Green Building Index (GBI), a voluntary scoring method for residential (RNC) and non-residential new construction (NRNC) projects. GBI classify construction projects in four categories i.e. Platinum, Gold, Silver or Certified, depending on the scores achieved. Evaluation is based on six key criteria: Energy Efficiency, Indoor Environment Quality, Sustainable Site Planning & Management, Material & Resources, Water Efficiency and Innovation. The Non-Residential Existing Buildings (GBI-NREB) rating tool was launched in April 2010. To achieve GBI-NREB certification, old buildings need to improve their sustainability credentials after major renovations. In 2011, three new rating tools were launched; the ‘GBI Township Tool’, released in March 2011 and two GBI Industrial tools for existing (GBI-IEB) and new constructions (GBI-INC) both released in June 2011. “GBI Township” tool was released. The GBI Township tool aims to facilitate discussions on how sustainable townships are planned, designed, built, operated and maintained. Core categories will include: Climate, Energy and Water, Ecology & Environment, Community Planning & Design, Transportation & Connectivity, Building & Resources, Business & Innovation. To increase certifications in the years ahead, the Malaysian Government has introduced incentives for building owners obtaining GBI Certification for buildings from 24 October 2009 until 31 December 2014. The incremental costs which qualify for tax exemption refer to the additional construction costs of a building, alteration, renovation, extension or improvement of an existing building. In addition, buyers who purchase GBI certified commercial buildings and residential properties from property developers are eligible for stamp duty exemption on the portion of the cost attributable to the acquisition of the GBI certificate. This incentive applies to sales and purchase agreements executed from 24 October 2009 to 31 December 2014. EUMCCI supports the adoption and ongoing development of GBI as a market-based green building transformation system that meets Malaysia’s requirements. The transition to sustainable construction practices is as much a business opportunity as a crucial response to the urgency and importance of environmental concerns and could alter the face of the Malaysian construction industry for the better. Issues • Green building in Malaysia focuses too often on new constructions rather than existing buildings. This is evident by the number of GBI certified renovations representing only 7% of the overall GBI certified projects despite the fact that old buildings represent the bulk of Malaysia’s commercial space • Although GBI has sections on Indoor Environment Quality (i.e. daylighting, ventilation, filtration systems, and the selection of low-VOC products in the building process), the main emphasis remains on energy efficiency. Unfortunately, at times this is at the expense of the occupant’s health and comfort. GBI also neglects focusing on the selection of products (furnishings, cleaning products, etc) procured during occupancy, all of which impact the indoor air quality • The GBI is developed specifically for the Malaysian tropical climate, environmental and developmental context, culture and social needs. However it neglects focusing on Malaysia’s specific sustainability concerns i.e. urban sprawl, deforestation, flooding, air and water pollution, the pedestrian network and highway traffic problems • GBI is a powerful tool in its ability to guide and accelerate the Green building market. Special attention should be taken in its application to ensure that the guidance and recommendations provided do not replace creativity in design
13 Green Technology From Europe 2011
››› Green Technology – Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
• The financial viability of green building projects is often compromised by the provision of the various subsidies for fossil fuels • Improving the efficiency of individual buildings and isolated developments represents only the tip of the green building “iceberg”. Malaysia should put a stronger focus on improving the sustainability of communities - especially communities in which Malaysians can work, shop, worship, learn and play near their homes; without having to drive long distances from residential areas to business districts, shopping centres, schools and other facilities • The GBI incentive scheme, while providing tax exemption on the incremental costs to all green building owners, is not sufficiently attractive for Gold and Platinum GBI buildings • The building services sector represented by designers, engineers and business consultants has an important role in green building practice; developing & disseminating information in passive design, resource efficient & clean technologies, healthy buildings and procurement of products & materials. However the GBI fiscal incentives cover only manufacturing and the supply chain (e.g. additional cost for materials), failing to mobilize R&D and capacity building Recommendations • Provide comprehensive training, exchange of experience and research on sustainable urban design building in higher education and for industry professionals, in order to ensure that this new market has appropriate supply of skills and knowledge • Exchange experience and knowledge of European rating standards and within the sustainable construction industry. Foster international co-operation between higher education institutions, including between the EU and Malaysian Academic institutions • Continuously review the experience with GBI ratings and the point allocations for different categories in terms of their effectiveness • Extend the GBI tool to cover renovations of residential buildings • Mandate that when residential and commercial properties are constructed or sold, a minimum green building rating certificate must be made available. For Platinum rated GBI buildings, enhance tax incentives to support green building R&D by the development of world class green building benchmark projects • Accelerate pace of improving existing buildings by making GBI incentives applicable also to tenants who do not own the building but have incurred the expenses to transform the building into a GBI complied building • Extend the GBI incentive scheme to include all incremental costs such as Environmental Design & Engineering Consultancy fees and GBI facilitator fees in order to mobilise R&D, innovation and capacity building in Malaysia • Extend the green building concepts to an urban planning and social organisation level: achieve greater sustainability by using a combination of local public policy, planning, design and technology and making the use of traditional energy saving measures just part of the solution. • Increase environmental performance requirements for public buildings to set the benchmarking paradigm for the construction industry. Define a roadmap for retrofitting all existing public buildings into the GBI Platinum standard
1.4 Renewable Energy Status Both the Renewable Energy Act 2011 and Sustainable Energy Development Authority Act 2011 have been passed by Parliament. SEDA is expected to be establish by September 2011 and ready to implement the feedin tariff by the end of 2011.
14 Green Technology From Europe 2011
Green Technology – ‹‹‹ Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
Issues EUMCCI applauds the commendable efforts by the Government of Malaysia to introduce the Renewable Energy Act in an effort the boost the growth of renewable energy in Malaysia. Whilst the Act focuses on the Feed In Tariff and its mechanisms that are vital to motivate commercially viable renewable energy projects, it will significantly depend on the quantity and the price levels given, as well as on further incentives and policies to encourage rapid growth of the industry. Recommendations Incentives and policies that can encourage the rapid growth of the renewable energy industry are as follows: • Encourage the utilization of the latest technologies by providing attractive incentives • Regulate the supply of biomass fuel • Explore and promote waste to energy technologies • Impose a tax on “polluting” technologies and possibly transferring the tax to fund RE projects • Consider Smart Grid technology that intelligently regulates the power generation dispatch, in view of a more complex generation network when more small RE plants come online • Encourage energy efficiency, on both demand and supply side • To increase eligibility of incentives to the entire value chain of the project • Allow significant holding of foreign equity in development of RE projects • Facilitate financing of RE projects utilizing new technologies that are not yet present in Malaysia but already have successful references in other countries • Import tax and duties exemptions for importation of RE technology products and solutions • Incentives and grants for foreign companies setting up R&D technology centres in Malaysia
1.5 Solid Waste Introduction As is frequently reported, Malaysia currently produces approximately 23,000 tonnes of solid municipal waste (MSW) daily. It is neither feasible nor practical for all the MSW to be reused, recycled or recovered into renewable energy (RE). Nevertheless, it is apparent that with the commitment of the government and local agencies (LA’s), a significant proportion of MSW can be recovered and prevented from being disposed as landfill. With the introduction of the RE Bill and the incentive of the “Feed in Tariff” system therein scheduled by the end of 2011, international private funding mechanisms are prepared and waiting to bring in and finance technology and expertise. Under build-operate-transfer or build-operate-extend schemes, “Energy from Waste” (EfW), Biomass and Bio-gas plant and technology suppliers offer facilities under a 15-year Agreement, to supply clean, sustainable electricity to the grid at Government agreed rates for receipt of wastes and electrification supply. In conjunction, the Solid Waste Act enforcement, which is being suggested for empowerment in 2011 offers a good opportunity to establish the relevant parties and infrastructure for EfW in Malaysia. Definition The Solid Waste Framework Directive prioritises waste prevention before reuse, recycling, recovery and as a final resort, disposal to landfill.
15 Green Technology From Europe 2011
››› Green Technology – Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
Much confusion arises over what is recovery and what is disposal? Recovery may be defined as: any operation where in principal waste replaces other materials which otherwise would be used to serve a particular function or waste being prepared to fulfil that function (re-processing) Disposal may be defined as: any operation which is not recovery, even where the operation has a secondary consequence to the reclamation of materials or energy. Issues The Solid Waste Directive, (2007) has increased the focus on the collection and movement of wastes “up the hierarchy”, with concerns regarding current landfill shortfalls and operations, recycling and greenhouse gas emissions still not clearly defined or allocated for. Energy from Waste is very much at the forefront of the debate, certainly throughout western European and other developed nations’ strategies. Energy can be derived from gasification, anaerobic digestion or any other combustion process using waste as the process fuel. Certainly the energy balance of that technology must be positive in the sense that it must ensure that more power is generated compared to the consumption of power through the process itself. To be considered a Renewable Energy, four criteria need to be met: • The majority of the waste needs to be consumed during or as a result of the operation • The majority of the energy produced must be useable heat or power • The waste must replace the use of a primary energy (fuel) source • The energy efficiency must not be less than 65% Energy from Waste processes have and continue to raise public and often government concerns over polluting emissions and the destruction of resources that could be reused or recycled. However, advanced alternatives under the EfW banner, including plasma inert gasification and anaerobic digestion offer significant advantages to three very important criteria in today’s environmental drivers: • Towards zero waste to landfill • Viable renewable energy source • Significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions Benefits Under this framework and in cooperation with international partners it would be realistic to forecast a potential of 15 – 20 bio-energy plants nationwide by 2020 or even more as total electrification from such plants would provide conservative power potential of 350 – 400MWh of Renewable Energy to the grid. This magnitude of commitment would also realise an 11,000 – 14,000 ton reduction (approx. 50% of total wastes produced) of MSW per day, ending up in a landfill or dumpsite by 2020.
16 Green Technology From Europe 2011
Green Technology – ‹‹‹ Policy Recommendations by EUMCCI EEGT Committee
Furthermore, government targets for greenhouse gas emissions would benefit greatly from an EfW strategy of scale, with some 40 million tonnes year (110,000t/day) of CO2 Equivalence from landfill gases alone. This equates to approximately 59% of the total pledged by the Government at the United Nations Climate Change summit 2009, in Copenhagen, compared to 2005 levels. It should also be noted that further savings of some 2million tonnes year (5,500t/day) of CO2 Equivalence from the use of alternative fossil fuel fired power generators (taking estimations of shared 1/3 coal, oil & gas). This offers another 3% reduction of total greenhouse gas emissions, increasing total potential reduction to 62% of pledged. Recommendations Implementation of a more active “Energy from Waste” policy, along with attractive incentives and systems as well as adopting similar values as those being introduced and operated throughout Europe would benefit Malaysia’s profile, objectives and contribution to pledge obligations, through the next decade. Measurements can be: • Attracting foreign investment and technology • Creating jobs and local skill base • Reducing in excess of 50% waste to landfill • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by some 62% of pledged obligation • Providing up to 400 MW of “Renewable Energy” to the grid *Methane and its fluoro & dichloro-equivalents of methane and ethane were calculated to be 23 times more harmful to the environment than CO2
1.6 Water Introduction By the 8th August 2011 the clean water industry has moved forward with its efforts to migrate the peninsula’s water assets to PAAB and now Penang have moved under the new model. To achieve progress there has needed to be some compromise and the future of the restructuring process will more than likely continue under a more flexible approach. The sector will become increasingly attractive for contractors and service providers especially where meeting new Key Performance Indicators stretches existing capabilities. The industry should also become more competitive as SPAN oversees the utilities performance over a three year licence period, once they have transferred assets. In reality the process of re-structuring will take more time, negoitiations and comprimisingand it is unclear how this will benefit competition and the improvement of service in the industry. Status Selangor State Government and the Fedral Government have still not managed to agree a solution over the state’s water assets. This created a concern for bond holders as the financial position of the utilities in Selangor looked like concern for liquidity and their ability to honour dept obligations. The Fedral Government has now stepped in to purchase bonds and alleviate the issue, possibly giving them leverage for future negoitiations. Until the political situation can be maneuvered this issue will continue to present a challenge.

The Pahang/Selangor interstate raw water transfer project has been scheduled for competition by 2014. Recently Selangor has put a hold on agreeing to the treatment plant that is needed at the Hulu Langat reservoir stating that this cannot go-ahead without agreement on the re-structuring process. In a second breath, they also state that the 6% reserve margins are currently adequate. The Federal Government stated a concern over this margin and as a result are leading on 4 other projects to increase supply in the state. PAAB have registered over 50 opportunities for tender on their website since 2008 and acquired assets in Perlis in 2010. Penang transferred above ground assets in 2011, but cannot transfer below ground assets/pipes due to the difficulties involved in their valuation. Issues The current situation makes it difficult for the regulator in its efforts to enforce the Water Industry Services Act. Restrictions present a risk to needed water tariff increases. The regulator needs to be given greater autonomy in making decisions to improve the water industry, this needs to include tariff setting. There is an environmental cost associated with the treatment and supply of water that needs to be balanced with the cost of reducing Non-Revenue Water in conjunction with measures to reduce consumption. Evidence of this ‘Twin track’ approach towards managing both supply and demand needs to be seen. It will continue to remain a challenge whilst water is priced below value. There is currently an industry wide (both water and wastewater) shortage of engineers. A lack in capacity will either mean greater reliance on more expensive overseas workers, or a hold up in the progress of much needed capital projects and operational maintenance. The wastewater environmental compliance for discharges needs to be better enforced and the enforcement agency needs to be appropriately funded to ensure this happens. Polluting discharges have both a considerable health and environmental impact. Recommendations • Allow the regulator to determine tariff setting in accordance with company performance against business plans monitored through periodic reviews. • Consider developing a water and wastewater pricing structure that is linked to compliance under KPI’s set by SPAN, rather than attempting to apply a ‘one size fits all’ solution. Benchmark low performing operator KPI’s against high performing operators, allowing flexibility in determining KPI’s but also providing a framework for low performers to set goals against. An improved and transparent pricing structure will help to communicate the need to increase tariffs to a more sustainable level • Provide grants to students and organisations looking at developing skills as water/wastewater engineers either through vocational training or Degree/Masters courses • Tighten controls over the polluter pays principle to industry, provide fines where effluent doesn’t meet standards set by SPAN and enforced by department of environment. Ensure consistent enforcement for on-site treatment of effluent by industry to ensure compliance • Provide rebates / import duty / sales tax exemption for switching to water efficient appliances • Provide tax exemptions or rebates for industries achieving a specific level of water efficiency

››› Green Technology – Urban Nature Urban Nature
More and more people are moving to cities, which now account for 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. To steer this rapid urbanization toward a greener future, major cities are increasingly turning to new, energy-efficient technologies. It would be difficult to imagine a greener city. Here, the inhabitants all live in one gigantic building that blends in perfectly with its immediate environment. Construction materials are all locally produced and fully biodegradable. A sophisticated arrangement of gangways, ventilation shafts, and layers of insulation ensures an agreeable climate inside, even when outdoor temperature variations are extreme. What’s more, it does so without having to consume a single kilowatt-hour of energy. In fact, the building is situated in such a way that only its narrow side catches the midday sun, thus reducing the effects of solar heating. Deep within the structure itself, residents tend huge gardens, which provide food for the entire city. Here, the sum total of the greenhouse gases produced by the population is merely the result of their digestive processes. Sounds like science fiction? For termites and other insects, it’s been a reality since the beginning of time. These ingenious creatures are veritable masters of green urban planning. Their nestsnot only provide a home to millions of fellow insects; they are also extremely energy-efficient and built in harmony with nature. In this respect, at least, termites are far ahead of us. “We need to learn that life in confined spaces and sustainability are not mutually exclusive,” says U.S. architect and urban planner Daniel Libeskind. “Combining the two is currently the biggest challenge facing urban development.” In fact, many of today’s megacities are seemingly endless concrete jungles that continue to devour space and resources. Forecasts indicate that the number of megacities — those with at least ten million inhabitants — will increase from 22 to 26 by 2015. The majority of these are to be found in emerging and developing countries — in other words, places where sustainability hasn’t always been assigned top priority in the past. Here, the authorities often have limited means at their disposal to tackle the most urgent environmental challenges. These include improvements to local public transport, refurbishment of buildings, and renewal of power and water infrastructures. The battle to limit climate change could be fought most effectively in large population centers. Cities account for 75 percent of the energy consumed worldwide and are responsible for 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Today, architects such as Libeskind see a gradual change in attitude. “There’s a rethink taking place,” he says. “Municipal authorities are now looking at more sustainable ways of shaping rapid urbanization. That creates a lot of potential for innovation.” London-based HSBC bank estimates that around 15 percent of current measures to stimulate the economy worldwide are going into green infrastructure projects such as energyefficient building systems. At the same time, the latest findings in climate research may have also made cities wake up to the issue of sustainability. That’s because the impact of climate change — droughts, water shortages, and rising sea levels — will hit developing and emerging countries the hardest. Singapore has been demonstrating how to conduct sustainable urban planning in a confined space ever since it gained independence in 1965. The city state, which comprises an area smaller than Hamburg, Germany, is home to five million people. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of this, it is one of the greenest cities in Asia. “We have high population growth, like other cities, but hardly any raw materials and a land area of only 710 square kilometers,” explains Richard Hoo, Group Director of Strategic Planning at Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority. “That’s why it’s always been crucial for us to grow in a sustainable way.” Singapore’s population has increased by 70 percent since 1986.

According to Hoo, the area of green cover has also grown by 50 percent over the same period. Besides having numerous parks, which provide a welcome retreat for the city’s inhabitants, as well as a natural air conditioning system, Singapore also promotes the use and development of energy-efficient technologies. Siemens, for
Green Technology From Europe 2011
Green Technology – ‹‹‹ Urban Nature example, runs a center of competence for sustainable urban development in Singapore and is currently working on new, more efficient methods for the treatment of water and wastewater. China, is also looking at ways to give urban growth a greener hue. There, over half a billion people already live in cities, a figure that maydouble by 2030. At present, coal-fired power plants meet the majority of the country’s energy needs, which are growing with increasing urbanization. In addition to environmental problems such as smog and wastewater pollution, this presents the authorities with the problem of rising CO2 emissions. China has already surpassed the U.S. as the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gases and, according to the International Energy Agency, it emitted around six billion metric tons of CO2 in 2007 alone — almost twice its 2001 level. In order to prevent the fruits of its economic growth from literally going up in smoke, China now intends to use renewable energies to generate a 15-percent share of all the power it will consume by 2020. That will turn China’s megacities into El Dorados for energy-efficient, climate-friendly technologies such as those from Siemens. For instance, the company is planning to equip an entire district of Shanghai with energy-saving building systems. Municipal authorities will be able to completely cover the payments for these systems with what they save in energy costs. At the same time, Siemens is busy developing “eco city” models in cooperation with the School of Urban Planning at Tongji University. These models are designed to ensure that megacities are planned from the very outset to be as sustainable as possible. And the recent Expo in Shanghai, with its motto “Better City, Better Life,” showed that China is no paper tiger when it comes to sustainability. About 70 million Expo visitors from around the world had the opportunity to inspect a host of green solutions to the problem of exploding urbanization. Photosynthetic Facades. On the other side of the world, European countries are also involved in a major effort to make urban planning more climate-friendly. In Europe, where 72 percent of the population already lives in cities, compared to around 43 percent in China, the primary challenge is to make existing infrastructures more energy efficient and environmentally compatible. In a report commissioned by Siemens, research and consulting company Economist Intelligence Unit investigated which European cities are particularly progressive in terms of sustainability. Heading the “European Green City Index” is Copenhagen, followed by Stockholm, Oslo, and Vienna. The Danish capital owes its top ranking to a host of energy-saving and climate-protection measures, including an ultra-efficient district heating system, the increasing use of wind power, and the introduction of electrically-powered buses in local public transport. These are all elements of an ambitious plan by municipal authorities to turn Copenhagen into Europe’s first completely CO2-free city by the year 2025. There’s certainly no lack of creative ideas about how to realize this vision of the green city. For instance, Siemens researchers Osman Ahmed and Maximilian Fleischer have plans for a special façade coating that exploits the principle of photosynthesis. Like plants, buildings would then be able to convert carbon dioxide from the air into substances such as methanol, which could be used as fuels. Meanwhile, other visionary technologies are already in use. In the city of Regensburg, Germany, for example, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the street lighting is provided-by highly efficient LEDs supplied by Siemens’ Osram subsidiary, which use only around half as much power as conventional street lamps. Osram researchers are also developing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In the future, these new transparent light sources could be used as windows, where they would allow sunlight in during the day and then emit light at night. According to scientists such as Columbia University Emeritus Professor Dickson Despommier, the time has come for city planners to turn to the example of termites in order to ensure sustainable urban development. In harmony with nature, skyscrapers in the megacities of the future would then be able to serve as tremendous greenhouses in which vegetables, fruits, grains, and poultry are grown exclusively for local use — just as insects have been cultivating their “gardens” for millions of years.

Green Practice makes Green Perfect 21 simple steps to go green and save our earth At 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. 16. Leave messages for colleagues/family members on a reusable message board 17. While shopping, if you only buy a few products skip the shopping bag. For larger purchases, bring your own. 18. When staying at a hotel, let the management know that you like to support businesses that adopt environmentally responsible practices (including reducing waste and water consumption.) 19. Keep computer equipment updated; current new computers and monitors are more energy efficient than those even just two years old. 20.1 Place a waste paper recycling box near the printers and a general recycling box in the staffroom. Empty the recycling boxes regularly. 21. Always run full loads of laundry and dishes. Choose the short cycle at low water levels whenever possible. Set the clothing washer at the lowest possible temperature needed and for single rinse only. If you buy a new appliance, consider its water efficiency.

In August 2008, PAM Council endorsed and approved the formation of the new Sustainability Committee which was tasked primarily to develop and set-up the Green Building Index and the accompanying Panel for certification and accreditation of Green-rated buildings.
GBI accreditation for buildings is separated into three tiers. At the highest level is the GBI Accreditation Panel, the independent regulatory body for GBI accreditation. At the intermediate level are the GBI Certifiers, consisting of experienced professionals that conduct the assessment and accreditation of project submissions. On the front-end level are the GBI Facilitators, professionals who together with clients and design team to enhance their projects to meet or exceed GBI rating system requirements. Website: Contact:
