ETP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
EPP 4 (continued from previous page)
In further defining the industry workforce, the National
Competency Standards profile and Occupational Analysis
template for Green Technology was completed in 2011. These
outline the National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS) for green
technology, which will provide a list of green technology jobs. This
will function alongside the Malaysian Skills Certificate to establish
a common standard for green technology practitioners.
The Malaysia Green Tech Corporation (MGTC) is responsible for
administering and evaluating risks for the green certification
application to assist in propelling the green technology industry.
This certification will be utilised by applicants to apply for financing.
The Green Technology Funding Scheme (GTFS) was established
by the Government to kick-start and finance companies that offer
green products and services. Currently, a total of 24 projects have
been awarded involving financing amounting to RM350 million
from the original fund of RM1.5 billion to producers and users
of green technology. They include 12 projects related to energy
efficiency, 10 water and waste-related and the remaining two for
transportation.
The prevailing challenge for many energy service companies to
obtain bank financing for energy efficiency projects still stands
as the nature of risk and returns for these projects are not well
understood by the financial institutions.
In March 2011, the GBI Township Tools was introduced to facilitate
planning, design and building of sustainable townships. This
process will be aided by the Low Carbon City Framework and rating
tools developed by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and
Water to be used by local councils and developers.
In the area of energy efficiency, MyLED Group, Malaysia’s solid
state lighting (SSL) and light emitting diode (LED) manufacturer,
signed sealing sales Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs)
with 15 international and local companies comprising six
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) from Germany, Japan,
Taiwan and Malaysia on 23 November 2011. Three of the OEMs
– Amprex International (Japan), Light-Trend (Taiwan) and Osram
Opto Semiconductors (Germany), will also provide MyLED with
technology and expertise in research & development. MyLED
Group is expected to achieve more than RM2 billion in sales for its
lighting components over the next five years.

Moving Forward
KeTTHA will be setting efficiency targets stipulating that all
ministries must reduce electricity and water consumption by
10 per cent per year up to 2013. Additionally, KeTTHA plans
to complete the accreditation framework for energy services
companies to improve and regulate the quality of energy services
companies by 2012.
With the continued efforts of MGTC, PEMANDU will facilitate
projects related to green buildings, energy efficiency, waste,
renewable energy, and transport. As of December 2011, two
projects, one under the RE (Renewable Energy) segment and
another under the Waste segment are currently being pursued
with each contributing a significant amount of GNI when
successfully implemented.
KeTTHA in collaboration with MGTC is presently studying
the modality in implementing the Malaysia Green Labelling
Programme (MGLP). MGLP will encompass the inclusion of
existing label schemes available such as National Eco Labelling
Scheme, Energy Rating Label and similar schemes that are in
the pipeline such as Water Efficiency Label Scheme and Carbon/
Water Footprint Label Scheme. This exercise will involve the
collaboration and cooperation with other ministries/government
agencies as well as private organisations and non-government
organisations (NGOs).
MGTC will pursue projects related to bio-fuel and alternate energy
including bio-diesel, hydrogen and methanol fuel. As more and
more projects are being undertaken, the imminent need to access
financing is critical. While the GTFS is one of the main options
available, MGTC is looking at alternative financing which is more
venture capital based to assist seed funding for those who may
not be eligible under the conventional banking requirements that
is Malaysian based, perhaps with elements of Islamic Banking.
In view of rapid developments in this sector, demand for new
skills especially for professionals in this field is crucial to remain
relevant and competitive in the global market. As such, efforts are
underway to develop carbon trading expertise in Malaysia with
extensive engagement with the relevant stakeholders within the
industry.
For 2012, this EPP aims to create 4,000 jobs, generate RM1.79
billion in revenue from the main segmentation within the
clean energy areas including RE, Energy Efficient Energy, Waste
Management, Green Technology Financing Scheme. It also
aims to establish an accreditation framework for Energy Service
Companies.
