Malaysia's Energy Transition Towards Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050
Key Ideas
  • Malaysia is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 through significant strides in renewable energy adoption and energy efficiency.
  • Initiatives like the National Energy Transition Roadmap aim to attract investments of up to RM1.85 trillion by 2050, focusing on energy efficiency, green hydrogen, biofuel, electric vehicles, and CO2 storage.
  • Programs like Enegem and schemes such as CRESS and CGPP are enhancing green electricity access for corporations and promoting renewable energy integration and trading in the region.
  • Legislation like the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Bill 2023 is crucial in promoting energy management and balancing national priorities with climate action for a successful energy transition.
Malaysia is actively working towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, aligning with global efforts for sustainable energy practices. The Energy Commission (EC) in Malaysia emphasizes the country's transition from fossil-based to clean and renewable energy sources to address the energy trilemma of security, affordability, and sustainability. Through initiatives like the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), Malaysia aims to attract significant investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. The Responsible Transition Pathway 2050 under NETR sets ambitious targets for energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption, including a focus on green hydrogen, biofuel, electric vehicles, and CO2 storage. The Energy Exchange Malaysia (Enegem) program further enhances Malaysia's energy transition by enabling cross-border electricity sales and promoting regional renewable energy integration and trading. Additionally, schemes like CRESS and CGPP are facilitating corporate access to green electricity, while legislation such as the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Bill 2023 is crucial for promoting energy management. Malaysia's dedication to consistent government policies and clear signals highlights its commitment to a successful and equitable energy transition towards a sustainable future.
