The UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, is addressing the need for a $1 trillion fund to assist developing countries in combating climate change. Environmental activists protested at the conference site, emphasizing the importance of funding for lower-income nations. In Malaysia, efforts to decarbonize energy generation include the RIDA project, developing software for energy planners. Decarbonization workshops in Kuala Lumpur and Manila shared techniques for reducing CO2 emissions in sectors like power, cement, and steel production. Participants discussed Malaysia's National Energy Transition Roadmap, highlighting biomass, carbon capture, and hydrogen as key options. Biomass, abundant in Malaysia, offers opportunities for renewable energy, although challenges exist in its economic viability. Malaysia aims to increase renewable energy share by 2050 and eliminate coal power plants. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, mainly in European countries, may soon see progress in Malaysia with PETRONAS CCS projects at Sarawak offshore. The shift towards hydrogen energy in Sarawak is notable, with a focus on different production pathways, such as grey, blue, and green hydrogen. The move towards green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources, aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
