Climate Change, Energy and Transport – A Malaysian Perspective By Azman Zainal Abidin Pusat Tenaga Malaysia
Malaysia Energy Supply • Energy Supply has increased by ~ 80 % in 2000. • Shifting from oil to natural gas consumption as a result of the Four Fuel Diversification Policy Total: 28.25 Mtoe Total: 50.71 Mtoe
Malaysia Energy Demand • Energy demand has increased by ~ 54 % in 2000. • The remarkable economic growth has somewhat increased the energy demand in 2000 • 80 % dominated by the industrial and transport sectors Total: 19.29 Mtoe Total: 29.70 Mtoe
Relative GHG Emissions Energy Sector Note: *Worksheet variation appear in INC as it uses different worksheet
Sectoral Emissions (Energy) Total: 126,058 Gg CO2
Clean Development Mechanism • A project based mechanism • Project must be in non-Annex 1 country • Dual objective: • Assist Annex 1 countries in meeting their targets • Assist non-Annex 1 countries in achieving sustainable development • Project must provide emission reductions “that are additional to any that would occur in the absence of the certified project activity”
Article 12(2), Kyoto Protocol • The purpose of the clean development mechanism shall be to assist Parties not included in Annex I in achieving sustainable development and in contributing to the ultimate objective of the Convention, and to assist Parties included in Annex I in achieving compliance with their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments under Article 3.
CDM Status in Malaysia • 24 Projects are given Host Country Approval • As of April 2007, 14 Projects are registered with CDM EB
CDM Project Type (as of April ’07) Note: Based on existing PDDs and PINs
SUMMARY • Our energy consumption has increased over the years • We have been using our energy inefficiently, due mainly to energy prices being heavily subsidized • Our GHG emissions have been increasing over the years, with Industrial and Transport sectors being the biggest emitters • Some effort has been made to reduce GHG emissions through CDM, even though the objective may not be noble
REMARK Reducing GHG emissions will have other direct benefits that include: • Energy conservation • Improved air quality
