Looking ahead With the recent launch of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (Part 1) as well as the Hydrogen Roadmap and National Carbon Policy in the latter half of 2023, the Malaysian government has demonstrated a firm commitment towards meeting its targets to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Carbon pricing instruments can complement other low-carbon policies, such as renewables and energy efficiency initiatives, by subsidising investment in low-carbon energy development. The federal government has indicated that it is currently considering different types of carbon pricing mechanisms that would be suitable for Malaysia. Such developments are likely to propel the domestic popularity of carbon credits and offsets, which will undoubtedly play an important role in Malaysia’s energy transition. As regulatory developments in this area continue to evolve at a rapid pace, it is crucial for market participants to seek the appropriate advice to avoid claims of greenwashing.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s refined fuel consumption is projected to grow at a much slower pace than anticipated over the next 10 years, averaging at around 1.5 per cent through 2023 to 2032.
BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions, said although an improving economy together with ongoing fuel subsidies was contributing to a recovery in fuel consumption, fuel demand faces downside pressures from high global oil prices and energy transition initiatives.
It forecast Malaysia's real gross domestic product (GDP) growth would register at 4.2 per cent in 2023 and further improve to 4.42 per cent in 2024.
"The near-term outlook for fuel consumption points to the upside, but the pace of demand growth could slow down in the long term as the government plans to implement policies aiming to cut fuel subsidies and accelerate energy transition initiatives," BMI said in its outlook for Malaysia's energy transition report today.
It noted that the government’s ongoing subsidies now have become a critical issue against the backdrop of elevated global oil and gas prices, putting significant pressure on the government to cover rising costs.
"Though the government has not announced drastic measures to cut subsidies, we can expect a complete reduction in fuel subsidies for high-income groups. Such policy moves could constrain oil demand growth going forward because car ownership tends to be higher amongst high-income households.
"We expect the government’s move to cut fuel subsidies will be met with resistance from industries, especially manufacturing entities which rely heavily on subsidies for industrial production.
"However, we expect the government will continue to keep fuel subsidies for public transportation services to keep transportation costs down," BMI said.
EV penetration rate
BMI estimates demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia would far outstrip that of internal combustion engine cars within the 2023-2032 forecast period.
Total EV sales are projected to quadruple in 2023, although the country’s EV penetration rate (EV sales as a percentage of total vehicle sales) will stay at just 1.8 per cent.
However, BMI said the pace of growth in the electrification of the transport industry would face challenges related to the lack of affordable EV models and the slow expansion of charging infrastructure.
"Though the Malaysian government postponed the implementation of the B20 biodiesel programme in 2022, it indicates in its National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) that it will establish a B30 mandate for land transport by 2030," it added.
BMI said that given the country’s abundant feedstock of palm oils, biodiesel offers significant opportunities to diversify away from traditional fossil fuels. Unlike biodiesel, Malaysia currently does not promote ethanol for blending with gasoline.
Malaysia has become relatively self-sufficient in refined fuel supply since two greenfield refineries were commissioned between 2021 and 2022. BMI said the refining industry continues to operate at higher utilisation rates to accommodate export opportunities and reduce dependence on imports.
"Against the backdrop of export-oriented the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) and Tanjung Bin refineries operated by Petronas and Vitol, the analysis of fuel trade data indicates Malaysia is emerging as a significant two-way fuel trading country exporting and importing large volumes of refined fuels since 2021," it added. - Bernama

On Monday, Miti launched the I-ESG Framework, with the aim of accelerating the country's progress towards achieving sustainable development goals, and facilitating the transition towards sustainable practices among manufacturing companies.
The framework is a key enabler of the push towards the net-zero mission, aligning with Malaysia's commitment to reducing greenhouse gases by 45% by 2030, and achieving carbon neutrality (net zero emissions) by 2050.
The framework consists of four pillars, namely standards, financing, capacity building, and market mechanisms. These components are supported by six key enablers, namely stakeholder engagement, human capital and capabilities, digitalisation, technology, financing and incentives, as well as policies and regulations.
KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 5): Bursa Malaysia Bhd has launched the national voluntary carbon market (VCM) handbook to guide local professionals and stakeholders in generating carbon credits that adhere to international standards recognised by the Bursa Carbon Exchange.
Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift said as Malaysia shifts towards becoming a lower carbon economy, the VCM handbook is a relevant guide designed to assist entities keen on participating in carbon market project development and Malaysia’s voluntary carbon market.
He said the handbook defines the roles and functions of key entities in Malaysia’s carbon market operations, serving as a reference point for market players.
“With the increasing prominence on carbon offsets and carbon markets globally, it is imperative that Malaysia acts on the nation’s untapped potential by developing its VCM ecosystem and implementing high-quality carbon projects.
“This VCM handbook is a critical step in ensuring Malaysia’s VCM can truly support the country’s net zero journey,” he said at the inaugural Malaysia Carbon Market Forum 2023 here on Thursday, in conjunction with the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia.
The VCM handbook is a collaborative effort between Bursa Malaysia and the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), which was initiated through a memorandum of collaboration signed on Feb 20, 2023.
The VCM handbook was developed in consultation with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change (NRECC) and various ecosystem participants.
Muhammad Umar also shared that one of Malaysia’s nature-based projects, the Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project in Sabah, is nearing its first issuance.
“Soon enough, (it is hoped that) our carbon ‘supermarket shelves’ will be stocked with Malaysian products,” he said.
Pursuant to the above, NRECC minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said Bursa Malaysia is getting ready to auction carbon credits from the Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project.
The auction date will be announced once Verra, the world’s leading standards setter for climate action and sustainable development, has issued Kuamut’s carbon credits.
“This project is commendable, as it is being verified for a triple gold labelling under Verra’s co-benefit standard of climate, community and biodiversity,” he said.
Nik Nazmi also said the government needs nature-based solutions (NbS), which can provide up to 30% of the mitigation required by 2030 to keep the 1.5°C target in reach.
He noted that the VCM would help mobilise public sector finance towards NbS, particularly in the Global South where it is most urgently needed.
He said many state governments have reached out to his ministry for alignment of carbon policies for forest carbon assets, and the NRECC is doing its best to ensure that these discussions take place.
“I wish to also reiterate that our National Carbon Policy is expected to be ready for implementation this year. It will provide, among other things, guidance on carbon trading at the state level,” he said.
For India, circular economy has the potential to be upwards of $45 Billion by 2030 and the private sector stands to gain a first-mover advantage to secure green investments for applying circular economy in their operations. And on the other side, corporates in India today faces growing regulator, investor, and consumer pressures of adopting pro-climate practices both domestically and internationally, observes BCG India Managing Director Anirban Mukherjee and Project Leader Tania Banerjee.
What’s the social cost of greenhouse gas? The social cost of greenhouse gases represents the damage created by emitting 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
These greenhouse gases, largely from fossil fuels, trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet and fueling climate change. The result is worsening storms, heat waves, droughts and other disasters that harm humans, infrastructure and economies around the world. The estimate is intended to include changes in agricultural productivity, human health, property damage from increased flood risk, and the value of ecosystem services.
By directing agencies to consider those costs when making purchases and implementing budgets, the administration is making it more likely that agencies will purchase products and make investments that are more energy efficient and less likely to fuel climate change.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Teng Boo, icapital.biz Bhd's designated person, believes there are now more reasons to buy Malaysian stocks for the long-term, thanks to the covergence of many positive factors.
"After trapping investors in bear market rallies since 2014, Malaysia is now at a critical juncture.
"For the first time in many years, I have turned more optimistic about Malaysia’s future," he said in a statement.
Tan, who has more than five decades of investment experience, said he now sees a good chance for Malaysian stocks to perform better than what was seen in the past.
Tan's optimism comes despite acknowledging various challenges stemming from the pandemic recovery, geopolitical tensions, political turmoil, soaring global inflation, volatile exchange rates and extreme climate pattern.
“Fundamental and structural changes will indeed take time, but the wheels of positive change have already been set in motion.
"Malaysia’s economy and politics are gradually transforming as the negative influence from the old political leadership is no longer lingering,” he said.
He added that under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's administration, the country has done the right thing by remaining neutral amid the escalation of the US-China rivalry.
Tan will further detail his views on Malaysia during Capital Dynamics and icapital.biz's 2023 Investor Day, slated to be held on Sunday, Nov 5 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
This year’s event is entitled “Why Now is the Right Time to Invest in Malaysia.”
