Net Zero by 2090?

In , ,

July 4th, 2023 saw another MGTC-UTM and OPTIMISE joint effort in advancing Partnership for the Net Zero Goals at the GHG Awareness Training at MGTC.

While promoting “Energy and Emission Management for All”, Prof Ir Ts Dr Zain shared an IEA scenario whereby a low international co-operation is more likely to veer the world way off its 2050 Net Zero target by at least 40 years, all the way to 2090! He went on to remind participants of the 1.5C “climate emergency” and shared a hexa-framework on how organisations can work together with their staff and communities in managing energy and emissions at work, at home and in everyone’s lives!

Ir Dr Lim Jeng Shiun came next to elaborate on our 6-step energy and emission management framework. His talk focused on the key requirements for GHG reporting; introduced the Science-Based Target Initiatives (SBTI), differentiated mitigation measures related to carbon offsetting and carbon credit; and finally explained on the use of Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACC) for cost-effective GHG mitigation project evaluation.

As social advocates, we are grateful to MGTC for the opportunity to share insights and experience to ESG professionals who came from across the country to be part of the effort to shape Malaysia’s pathway to Net Zero 2050.

If you are interested to learn more about GHG emissions management, please feel free to join our upcoming Energise Talk Series #7 on July 20th, 2023 organised together with MGTC. Please refer to the <link/poster> below for more information and to register for free.

Industrial Thermal Energy Audit (ITEA) Workshop “Adds Value to Our Experience” - Participants.

In , ,

The recently concluded 3-Days Industrial Thermal Energy Audit (ITEA) workshop brought together professionals with years of experience in the energy industry. The workshop aimed to equip participants with knowledge and  skills to practically conduct industrial energy audit involving a manufacturing facility thermal energy system supply side (utilities) and demand side (process). Azree Hazwan, a Project Manager from Becis Malaysia said that “The ITEA Training was very useful for companies aiming to enhance energy efficiency of plant operations. From theory to in-depth methodology, participants learnt many new methods from OPTIMISE experienced professors and educators. I recommend those who are going for sustainability to join this training. Well done OPTIMISE!”

Delivered by experienced energy practitioners, the ITEA workshop covered a wide range of topics including thermal energy audit, Pinch Analysis benchmarking, process design and retrofit to maximise heat recovery as well as analysis and optimisation of processes, utilities and cogeneration systems. Izza Mahmod, Improvement Executive – Petronas Chemical Ethylene Sdn.Bhd said, “I enjoyed the training so much as it allowed me to refresh my engineering calculations and link them with my industrial experience. Even though I have 15 years  industrial experience in oil and gas, I learnt so much during this training.”

The workshop provided an engaging and interactive learning environment, encouraging all attendees to actively and continuously participate in problem solving work sessions. Nassya binti Mohd Said who is an experienced researcher from SIRIM Berhad appreciated the chance to instantly apply the techniques she learnt through practical exercises and case studies, and the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow professionals. According to her, “The course provides good guidance on conducting thermal energy audit which is very different (maybe more rigorous) than the electrical energy audit that I’m familiar with and have participated in.  It’s a good refresher course from what I’ve learnt during my undergrad years, and even more relatable since I got to apply it to an actual scale that matches my current responsibility. The step-wise details on the audit approach is also very helpful for me to get started.”

Thermal Energy Recovery Technologist - Level 4 : Expert

Register for next session
Brochure not available

Training Summary

For TERT Level 4 competency, participants need to demonstrate they have applied the TERT Level 1 to 3 knowledge to a real industrial case study.  The participant needs to submit the project report.  An evaluation committee will be appointed, which will vet the report in detail.  There will be an evaluation session between the candidate and the evaluation committee. Upon satisfactory evaluation by the committee, the candidate will be awarded TERT Level 4.

Certification Level Overview

Thermal Energy Recovery Technologist (TERT) is a professional training to develop more global experts in thermal energy recovery system based on Pinch Technology.  Participants from this course are awarded competency certification based on the level of completion.  Be among the pioneers and expert in thermal energy for processes, differentiating yourself from other energy auditors which focusses only on utility system audit.  Pinch Technology is known to save energy between 15 to 90%, in comparison to utility audit which only saves up to 30%.  The technology also commonly provides an attractive payback period of fewer than three years, as compared to the renewable energy system. 

Past Projects

The industrial sector accounts for about one-third of the global energy consumption, with up to 50% of energy ultimately lost in the form of waste heat in hot exhaust gases, in cooling water, and on heated surfaces and products [US Department of Energy]. Recovery of thermal energy from waste heat presents the biggest cost-saving opportunity for energy efficiency improvement in the industrial sector.

    1. USD 12.8 million/year on energy savings by Retrofit of Heat Recovery System (Refinery)
    2. USD 4.1 million/year on energy savings by Total Site Heat Integration Retrofit Study (Middle Distillate)
    3. USD 0.75 million/year on energy and water recovery savings (Oleochemical)

Reason to Join

If you are an energy manager, energy auditor, or energy service company.

    1. Equip yourself as a TERT to manage thermal energy. The anticipated enactment of the Malaysia Energy Efficiency & Conservation Act (EECA) shall unlock opportunities for energy managers with the competency to audit, manage, and optimize thermal energy systems apart from electrical energy.
    2. Gain competency to perform practical retrofit of existing facilities. Learn from certified experts and practitioners on how to perform optimal thermal energy recovery analysis to retrofit existing facilities practically, and gain the support of top management to achieve triple bottom-line benefits.
    3. Offer value-added energy audit services for the ASEAN community. If you are an energy auditor, you will be able to offer value-added energy audit services to your customer by incorporating thermal energy recovery of the process. You can also offer energy audit services under the newly announced Energy Audit Conditional Grant (EACG) which supports energy auditing of both electrical and thermal energy. Widespread and holistic implementation of Energy Management System cover­ing thermal and electrical energy in the region is expected to significantly increase the demand for thermal energy analysis experts in Malaysia and across ASEAN.

If thermal energy is the leading energy cost in your manufacturing site.

Huge potential reduction in energy bills from thermal heat recovery.

Over 7000 successful process integration applications worldwide, including our project experiences have resulted in thermal energy savings of between 10 to 50%, and a payback period of less than 3 years. Our recent petroleum refinery retrofit project for example amassed an annual savings of USD 12 Million.

“We already have heat recovery systems in place. How could we benefit more?’’

Our experience shows that plant renovation, plant expansion, the addition of new product lines, consideration of total site, and area-wide integration could lead to ample energy cost-saving potentials.
