Abstract

In 2022, Malaysia was ranked 28th worldwide in terms of its energy oil consumption. Energy consumption in Malaysia has been predominantly reliant on natural gas and coal in both the past and present. Oil and gas in Malaysia are predicted to be depleted in 14 years due to the high energy consumption, especially from petroleum sources. Thus, the Malaysian government aims to expand renewable energy (RE) in the country's energy mix as an alternative source of energy. As of 2022, Malaysia has generated roughly 2% of its electricity from various renewable sources, which is still far from the initial target of reaching 20% RE penetration by 2030. However, since 2017, RE has started to contribute to energy mix generation. Several policies, including an act, have been implemented in Malaysia to achieve the target in RE, but many challenges and difficulties have hindered the progress. Thus, the present study explored the current status and challenges for RE in Malaysia and discussed the effectiveness of the available energy policies and programs. The outcomes are potentially valuable to Malaysian policymakers, industries and researchers to improve their current practices for achieving the initial national RE target by 2030 as well as to move forward towards net zero emissions by 2050. This study provides a crucial roadmap for Malaysia to achieve its RE objectives and contribute significantly to the international transition towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future.
马来西亚可再生能源政策和发展计划回顾:进展、成就与挑战
2022 年,马来西亚的能源石油消耗量在全球排名第 28 位。过去和现在,马来西亚的能源消耗主要依赖天然气和煤炭。由于能源消耗量大,特别是石油来源,马来西亚的石油和天然气预计将在 14 年内耗尽。因此,马来西亚政府的目标是在国家能源结构中扩大可再生能源(RE),将其作为一种替代能源。截至 2022 年,马来西亚约有 2% 的电力来自各种可再生能源,这与到 2030 年可再生能源渗透率达到 20% 的最初目标还相差甚远。不过,自 2017 年以来,可再生能源已开始为能源组合发电做出贡献。为了实现可再生能源的目标,马来西亚实施了多项政策,包括一项法案,但许多挑战和困难阻碍了进展。因此,本研究探讨了马来西亚可再生能源的现状和挑战,并讨论了现有能源政策和计划的有效性。研究成果对马来西亚的政策制定者、工业界和研究人员具有潜在价值,有助于他们改善目前的做法,以实现 2030 年国家可再生能源的初步目标,并在 2050 年实现净零排放。本研究为马来西亚实现其可再生能源目标提供了重要的路线图,并为国际社会向更环保、更可持续的未来转型做出了重要贡献。
