Deep Decarbonisation Pathways for Malaysia

Project Leader: Dr Chong Kok Boon

The project aims to helps Malaysia plays a role in preventing global temperature rise by 2 degrees Celsius via a comprehensive study to model possible pathways for deep decarbonisation. The project covers few sectors mainly focus on sustainable energy systems, economics, transportation, building, industrial and environment. First target is to build the baseline for Malaysia carbon emissions follow by simulation modelling study with incorporates all existing available technologies in varies scale of decarbonisation. Economic and environmental impacts will be modelled based on the life-cycles analysis for each available technology to revise and refurbish the modelling. The project will have addressed SDG7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG9 (Industries, Innovations and Infrastructure), SDG11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG13 (Climate Action). The collaborators for the project are The Education University of Hong Kong and Energy + Environment Economics (E3) USA.
