Pusat Tenaga Malaysia will work with the National Productivity Corporation (NPC) to undertake comparative energy-use benchmarking for the Asian region. This follows a successful international workshop on Green Productivity and Energy Benchmarking held recently in New Delhi, India organised by the Asian Productivity Organisation (APO), Tokyo

At the workshop, the NPC representative Ms. Lok Lee Lee presented on the key findings from the Malaysian Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Project (MIEEIP), particularly on the energy audit results, subsequent energy savings measures, potential reduction in CO2 emissions and the importance of energy-use benchmarking.

Ms. Lee Lee, who is the Technical Advisor of the MIEEIP Energy-use Benchmarking Component delivered two papers on Energy Efficiency Benchmarking in Malaysia and Energy Efficiency Towards Green Productivity, based on the project experiences.

Case studies featuring Malaysian companies that have implemented energy saving measures were illustrated to show the potential viability of energy efficiency and its impact on sustainable green productivity.

As a follow-up to the meeting, NPC has proposed to collaborate with PTM to carry out the comparative energy-use benchmarking studies for Malaysia and other selected countries.

The study on eight energy intensive sectors will compare the energy consumption figures, production quantities and the specific energy consumption (SEC) values. It is expected that the study will assist PTM in planning its EE and RE outreach activities. The information can also be used by the authorities to chart out future policies on energy.
