Abstract

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of a low carbon society outlook for Malaysia to 2035. Findings in the Reference scenario, where current policies are extended throughout the projection period, depict an unsustainable development given an increasing spending on fossil fuels energy imports for coal in particular, and for oil and gas in the near future. While the use of fossil fuels is projected to rise, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will be increasing accordingly. An alternative scenario which promotes the introduction of Advanced Technologies demonstrates how a more extensive use of renewable energy sources and the promotion of energy efficiency across all sectors could effectively address an over reliance on fossil fuels while reducing CO2 emissions.
