Background

The Malaysian Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Project (MIEEIP) was developed to improve energy efficiency (EE) in Malaysia's industrial sector by removing barriers to the efficient use of energy by this sector


The MIEEIP thrived to meets its objectives by creating sustainable institutional capacity to provide energy sources and a conducive policy, planning and research framework. By promoting energy efficiency in the industrial sector, the project also aimed to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute towards global warming.

The project was jointly funded by the Government of Malaysia (USD6.3 million), the Global Environment Facility (USD7.3 million), the United Nations Development Programme (USD300,000) and the Malaysian private sector (USD5.26 million). The Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications is the executing agency for the project, which is implemented by Pusat Tenaga Malaysia.

 


Objectives

To implement appropriate measures such as demonstrating the effectiveness of energy saving technologies and financial incentives for the manufacture of energy efficient industrial equipment.


To provide highly skilled energy audit and engineering services, project financing, and training and information to plant managers and operators.


To implement energy efficiency and other large-scale efficiency programmes by strengthening the institutional capacity for energy programme design and implementation, monitoring and evaluation.


To build capacity of existing organisations to provide energy management advisory services, and energy engineering and services.


To create sustainable follow-up programmes after
the completion of the project that will build on the achievements and experiences gained, and where necessary, improve the activities and deliverables.

Industrial sectors

The activities under the MIEEIP were implemented for the eight (8) industrial sectors selected for the project: cement, ceramic, food, glass, iron & steel, pulp & paper, rubber and wood. These sectors were chosen using a selection process based on information derived from the Asian Development Bank Project Report of 1994 (see Table 1) and a questionnaire prepared and circulated by the project proponents to energy intensive industries. Several other studies were also undertaken by the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications in collaboration with the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) regarding energy conservation opportunities in some of the energy intensive industrial sectors.

In the year 2005, 3 additional industrial sectors were selected for the audit programme. The additional audits on plastic, textile and oleo- chemical industries were jointly carried out by PTM and ESCO companies.
