Malaysia Energy Transition Roadmap

Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) was launched on July 27, 2023, with the aim of transforming the economy and creating potential opportunities. The NETR includes 10 catalyst projects that serve as a roadmap for energy transition by 2050. The government has set a target to achieve 70% of its power mix from renewable sources by 2050. The Ministry of Economy in Malaysia has adopted the NETR to accelerate energy transition and promote sustainable energy practices. This roadmap aims to position Malaysia as a regional renewable powerhouse. The NETR has secured 25 billion in investment and is expected to create 23,000 jobs. It sets the direction for developing future capabilities and shaping demand in the green energy market.

The projects are:

1. Renewable Energy Auctions
2. Green Hydrogen Production
3. Energy Storage Deployment
4. Grid Modernization
5. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage
6. Circular Economy
7. Green Buildings
8. Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure
9. Sustainable Industry
10. Sustainable Agriculture

How do the 10 Malaysia’s projects aim to reduce CO2 emissions and help the energy transition

1. Renewable Energy Auctions: This project aims to increase the share of renewable energy in Malaysia’s energy mix, which will reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and lower CO2 emissions.
2. Green Hydrogen Production: The production of green hydrogen using renewable energy sources will reduce the use of fossil fuels and lower CO2 emissions.
3. Energy Storage Deployment: The deployment of energy storage systems will help integrate more renewable energy into the grid, reducing the need for fossil fuels and lowering CO2 emissions.
4. Grid Modernization: The modernization of the grid will enable the integration of more renewable energy sources, reducing the need for fossil fuels and lowering CO2 emissions.
5. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage: This project aims to capture and store CO2 emissions from industrial processes, reducing the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere.
6. Circular Economy: The circular economy project aims to reduce waste and promote the reuse of materials, which will reduce the need for new resources and lower CO2 emissions.
7. Green Buildings: The construction of green buildings will reduce energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions.
8. Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure: The promotion of electric vehicles and the development of charging infrastructure will reduce the use of fossil fuels in transportation and lower CO2 emissions.
9. Sustainable Industry: The promotion of sustainable industry practices will reduce the use of fossil fuels and lower CO2 emissions.
10. Sustainable Agriculture: The promotion of sustainable agriculture practices will reduce the use of fossil fuels and lower CO2 emissions.
