Measures
Sustainable and more competitive industries
There is a substantial energy savings potential through transitioning industry into a more energy-knowledgeable sector. As modelled in SET, the proposed energy efficiency interventions may allow an energy demand reduction of 347 ktoe – a 16 per cent reduction. The suggested energy savings potential for several industries is based on the MIEEIP energy audit results for Malaysia, considering no-, low- and high-cost measures. More in-depth energy audits and baseline studies should be conducted regularly in order to understand the energy efficiency and fuel switching potential specifically for the industry sector of Iskandar Malaysia. The industrial companies in Iskandar Malaysia should be encouraged to perform regular energy audits to assess their energy efficiency improvement potential as well as implementation of energy savings measures (i.e., using more efficient appliances).
In addition, the potential in establishing industrial symbiosis within the industrial clusters should be explored. Industrial symbiosis can be described as a process that allows material or energy sharing between production facilities, where the unwanted material from one facility becomes a raw material for the other. This promotes a more sustainable industry based on a circular economy.
