Malaysia - SETatWork - Sustainable Energy Technology at Work

to that, the technology transfer and/or improvement in technology involved should also
enhance the indigenous capacity of Malaysians to apply, develop and implement
environmentally sound technologies.
Technology transfer and/or improvement in technology should also support the
sustainable objectives of Malaysia. As such, CDM projects should lead to reduced
depletion rate of non-renewable energy resources through the adoption of technologies
with higher energy efficiency or renewable energy technologies which increases the
deployment of renewable energy resources. Technologies that reduce GHG emissions
significantly through other Greenhouse Gases listed in Annex A of the Kyoto Protocol
should also be considered.
In order to ensure effective transfer of technology and/or improvement of technology
employed in the energy sector, the relevant indicators should measure the following:
! Impact of the project on indigenous capacity to apply, develop and implement
environmentally sound technologies;
! Impact on increased use of renewable energy resources and/or increased energy
efficiency and/or reduction of greenhouse gas emissions;
! Demonstration and replication potential of the technology; and
! Impact on domestic energy-related industries and services (increased local
content of skills and equipment in energy projects).
Criterion 4: Project must fulfil all conditions underlined by the CDM Executive
Board
Getting a National Host Country Approval is a requirement for registration with CDM EB
however in order for a proposed CDM projects to get a National Host Country Approval,
the project is also required to fulfill all conditions underlined by the CDM Executive board.
The conditions are as follows:
! Voluntary participation;
! Real, measurable and long-term benefits related to mitigation of climate change;
and
! Reductions in emissions that are additional to any that would occur in the
absence of the certified project activity.
