SESSION 4:

PROFITING FROM CLEAN ENERGY – ACHIEVING GREENER ENERGY SOLUTIONS

Role of Policy and incentives in promoting RE growth inMalaysia

Æ What does the panel think about the recentannouncement on the FIT scheme that is beingfinalised by the Government?

Æ Are the tariffs attractive enough?Æ Does it support off-grid application?Æ Is it preferable for Malaysia to implement large-scale

applications (thus better tariff for solar plants of XMWor more?

Æ How can the mechanism of charging high pollutersmore be implemented without being detrimental tolower income groups and small businesses?

Clean energy alternatives for Malaysia:

Æ Is solar power viable for Malaysia?Æ What other forms of RE can Malaysia benefit from?

Æ Nuclear is clean, but is it sustainable? Does it makesense for Malaysia to use nuclear energy?

Æ Is the grid ready to receive renewable power?Æ Revisiting Nuclear Power – nuclear generators are

the single greatest source of energy that in no wayimpacts global warming. However, the second goal

of the ‘green revolution’ is sustainable growth whichrequires that human activity do not produce wasteproducts that cannot be perpetually reused or recycled to something useful. All nuclear fissionsystems generate some form of radioactive wastewhich must be disposed off. Given the lengthy half life of the waste materials, ‘disposal’ meansperpetual storage. Will nuclear power make anattractive renewable energy options?

Building a RE Industry in Malaysia:

Æ Can Malaysia be a RE manufacturing / service hub

or should it be a net importer of RE technology?Æ Can Malaysia be competitive?Æ What are the impacts of emerging relevance of RE is

having on the integrated oil & gas companies?Æ Updates on the availability of alternative Renewable

Energy (RE) to eliminate the emission of greenhouse gases that cause global warming to sustainour limited resources – fuel cells, solar, wind,nanotechnology & hydropower

Æ Updates on the rebates and incentives for Renewable Energy (RE) & efficiency

Other Issues:

Æ Carbon footprint – the risks of not having mitigationplans

Æ Risks or key drivers to carbon reductionÆ Mitigation plans – renewable energy and energy

efficiencyÆ Key issues and recommendations to ensure

sustainable development of the energy sector Æ Updates on energy policy, regulations, accreditations

and related mattersÆ How to maximise local participation in future energy

projects?Æ How effective the ‘Environmental Impact

Assessments’ (EIA) which is mandatory for mostenergy projects in monitoring the compliance?Æ What are the key issues, challenges and

opportunities for foreign technology providers to formJV on green technology in Malaysia?

Æ Responding towards climate change – reviewing howcompanies should reduce their carbon footprints

Æ Benefits in moving to renewable energy sourcesÆ What are the challenges facing companies

implementing Renewable Energy (RE)?Æ How can we harness energy efficiency for

sustainable growth?Æ Will the investment in the know-how of new

technology such as nuclear fusion energy beneficialand enable us to choose this form of nuclear energyif suitable? Fusion reactors will not produce highlevel wastes like the fission counterparts. Much lessharmful radiation is also expected from fusion energy



5

Æ Will the government consider the possibilities of using newly-developed mini nuclear reactors aspractised in Japan and the US which are designedusing revolutionary and cutting-edge technology?The Toshiba Company in Japan has developed amini reactor which is only about 20 feet by six feet

and capable of producing 200 kilowatt of current.The Toshiba mini nuclear reactors are said to becheap and designed to be fail-safe, fully automaticand do not overheat

SESSION 5:

GREEN FINANCE & OTHER FINANCINGINITIATIVES – PITFALLS & PROSPECTS

The government has allocated RM 1.5 billion for therecently-launched Green Technology Financing Scheme(GTFS) on 26 January 2010. The fund will be able tofast track efforts by green-centric companies that has astrong culture of being environmentally-friendly as wellas providing launch pad for new technologies especially

solar technology. The RM 1.5 billion worth of cheaploans will be made available for companies that supplyand utilise green technology which is sustainable andenvironmentally-friendly. The Government and theMalaysian banking sector is now focussing in providing

impressive and attractive incentives and loans. Such asthe teaming up of the Credit Guarantee CorporationMalaysia Berhad (CGC) with CIMB Bank to promoteGreen Technology Financing Scheme among producersand users of GT. CIMB will finance up to RM 150 millionfor the scheme while CGC has been mandated to

provide 60% guarantee for borrowers. Producers of GTcan obtain financing up to RM 50 million while users canavail up to RM 10 million in loans. More than 140companies are expected to benefits from the financingscheme.

The list goes on with Bank Pembangunan (M) Berhad(BPMB) scheme where they are offering wide-range of financing facilities for RE and EE projects (biomass,biodiesel, mini hydro, solar, municipal solid waste (MSW)and energy conservation/efficiency, Maybank with itsIndustry Restructuring Financing Guarantee Scheme(IRFGS) and SME Assistance Guarantee Scheme(SAGS)

Æ Many green technologies currently have higher development costs than the technologies they wouldreplace. What are the innovative financinginstruments for the green technologies and greenindustry?

Æ Are there enough financing and businessdevelopment support to move into production and/or marketing to promote greater entrepreneurship inMalaysia?

Æ Are there any Islamic Banking & Finance in theGreen Technology Sector?

Æ What are other specific and actionable policyrecommendations in providing effective support?

Æ Are we going to develop a market for ‘green bonds’that allows cheap financing and gives tax incentivesto consumers with the proceeds to be directlyinvested in the GT projects?

Æ Are we going to bundle research and expertise fromacademia, engineering/business, finance and politicsto develop mechanism, rules and norms that canhelp foster the creation of GT markets?

Æ How can we create international financial institutionsto play a role in facilitating the procurement of GT?

Æ What are the practical barriers for investors to get

loans or guarantees and how can they be overcome?Æ How can we create the right incentives for private

business to invest in GT? What role can be given topublic-private investment partnerships? How canbest practices be applied to the process?

Æ Are the Malaysian banks very traditional in their lending and risk profiling to the companies involvedin green technology investments?

Æ In February 2007, the Bank of America became apillar of new green economy in California with a 10-year USD$20 billion environmental initiative that helpfunded a wide range of philanthropic, commercialand public sector green projects, and they become a

lynchpin in the greening of California. Can weexpect the same from our banking sector?

PANEL OVERVIEW:GOING GREEN FOR COMPETITIVENESS

& SUSTAINABILITY –

CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES

Environmental Challenges particularly Climate Changeare something we all have to think about. Politiciansfrom David Cameron to Gordon Brown are outliningambitious agendas and consumers are demandinggreener products. Leading businesses such as BP andUnilever have been joined by General Electric, Tescoand even Wal-Mart in announcing strategic investments.Will the initiatives by being ‘Socially Responsible’ harmthe Businesses’ bottom-line edge?

Investing stimulus funds in sectors such as energyefficient technologies, RE, public transport, sustainableagriculture, environmentally friendly tourism and thesustainable management of natural resources includingeco-systems and biodiversity, reflects the conviction thata green economy can create dynamic new industries,quality jobs and income growth while mitigating andadapting to climate change and arresting biodiversitydecline. Such investments should be scaled up and besupported by national and international policyinstruments.
