The objective of the project is to reduce GHG emissions by promoting and demonstrating sector-specific EE improvements and solar thermal technology utilization in industry.

The project seeks to bring application and diffusion of EE and application of solar thermal in industrial (heat) processes in Malaysia to a higher level, by means of a concerted effort by a number of Malaysian organizations and institutions in a mix of policy and regulatory framework enhancement, targeted training, awareness creation and demonstration activities. The use of solar thermal energy for industrial application demonstrates a very new development in industrial energy supply systems and only some hundred realized examples exist worldwide, but with an increasing development in the last years. In order to push the development of solar thermal energy in the new application area of industrial processes, the GEF/UNIDO support will be  crucial and incremental in realizing the high potential in utilizing solar thermal energy, reducing energy consumption and hence GHG emissions reduction in Malaysia.

The project implementation is expected to result in 3 outcomes:

Policy papers and financial incentive schemes established and endorsed by stakeholders;

Awareness and capacity of equipment vendors, service providers, industry management, plant engineers, and financial institutions in 5 targeted industrial sub-sectors strengthened and utilized;

Thermal energy efficiency and solar thermal technology demonstrated and deployed in 5 targeted industrial sub-sectors.
