Putting Efficiency, Sustainability High on List

WITH ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL concerns a top issue in the 21st century, Malaysia has tremendous potential in offering green services and developing green technology, especially for local and regional use.

From reducing carbon emissions to sustainable farming and fishing practices, many industries and sectors are in need of technological advanced equipment and methods that will aid their steps toward environmentally-friendly businesses.

The development of these green products, equipment and systems should minimise and mitigate environmental degradation, have low greenhouse gas emission, conserves energy and natural resources, make use of renewable resources and will promote a healthy and improved habitat for all. Understanding that the future is green, Malaysia has adopted a green energy policy as the roadmap towards not only promoting sustainable development but also as an accelerator to the country's economy.

GREENTECH MALAYSIA is on an exciting path. Spearheading massive and extensive green technology efforts of the nation, in co-operation with other agencies and organisations, GreenTech Malaysia certainly has much on its plate.

Energy

Energy generation and consumption is a major part of green technology as energy plays a crucial role in all that we do; it is also very sound business. Without a doubt, the cost cutting measures that new technologies and green alternatives in energy efficiency bring to the table would enhance the competitiveness of businesses and manufacturers.

Malaysia's energy resources cover fossil fuels and renewable energy giving the country a good mix of options. Areas of interest are broadly broken into two: renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Among the projects implemented by GreenTech Malaysia are the Malaysian Industrial energy efficiency Improvement Project (MIEEIP) and the Biomass-based Power Generation and Co-generation (Biogen) in the palm oil industry project. The MIEEIP conducts audits and provides engineering services to plant operators while promoting energy monitoring and better design. Several companies have already saved millions of ringgit on energy consumption through the MIeeIP, implementing energy efficiency projects on site.

At the moment there are 18 independent power producers (IPPs) in the country that generate power for their own use but are also able to supply excess power to consumers in their areas. FELDA Palm Industries took on a demonstration project under Biogen where 500kW of electricity was generated. In future, its generation capacity will be increased, enabling it to export electricity to the grid.

Renewable energy has tremendous potential, especially now that technologies in renewable energy have improved immensely. This includes industrial and institutional equipment like biomass boilers, photovoltaic panels and solar water heaters.

Take for example photovoltaics; these machines are able to convert direct sunlight into electrical power enabling homes, factories and offices to be powered by available, and most importantly, free sunlight.

Another important part of GreenTech Malaysia's work in energy concerns is its role as the secretariat of the Clean Development Mechanism, part of the Kyoto Protocol, and thus relates to issues regarding climate change.

Buildings

Structures that are constructed and function through an environmentally responsible manner and are resource-efficient are green buildings.

An example of a green building is the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water's building in Putrajaya that is a low energy office (LeO).

GreenTech Malaysia is already an expert in this field and its own office was the first to obtain the Green Building Index rating, and serves as a working symbol of the viability of green buildings. Furthermore, this demonstrates that GreenTech Malaysia has the know-how, experience, data, resources, contacts and the partnerships to guide and aid other green building projects.

As is stands, GreenTech Malaysia is involved in the planning, development and implementation of programmes such as the Green technology action plan that creates pioneer townships based on green technologies.

Transportation

One of the crucial aspects of transportation, part of running cleaner vehicles, is the creation of alternative fuels. In europe, methyl esters made from rapeseed oil has been well accepted. Brazil, India, Japan and the United States have begun their own biofuel programmes with Korea and Thailand setting targets for implementation.

Malaysia embarked on a comprehensive biofuel programme based on palm oil in 1982. It has successfully established the use of palm methyl esters and the blend of processed palm oil with petroleum diesel as suitable fuel for the transport and industrial sectors.

With the formulation of the national Biofuel Policy, the biofuel industry is set to further diversify and develop.

And just as importantly, GreenTech Malaysia is currently working on the mechanics for the development of the Electric Vehicles Roadmap; the Ministry of International Trade and Industry is the main ministry pursuing this green initiative through the National Automotive Policy.

Awareness

A crucial element in the 'greening' of processes and technologies in the country is strong awareness campaigns, which GreenTech Malaysia has embraced through various mediums. The main purpose of the campaigns is to foster 'green consciousness' to build and encourage 'green societies'.

Work by the Ministry of energy, Green Technology and Water includes inculcating green practices in young Malaysians through the introduction of green topics in the syllabus through green technology applications and practices.

Synergy

More than awareness, what's vital to the country's green mission is synergy between all parties: agencies, policymakers, associations, NGOs and citizens. This should translate into workers being trained in green technology, the creation of green collar jobs, green transportation options for citizens, developers pushing for the development of green cities and the like.

Within this context GreenTech Malaysia will continue its effort in multiple arenas working with all agencies and organisations to make Malaysia an integral part of the green revolution.

Plastics - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle?

PLASTICS, a cheap and durable `friend' for years and once hailed as the most useful invention of modern times, is now said to be the worst waste pollutant, an enemy to those who are environment-conscious because it is non-bio-degradable. And still many of us unaware of the environmental dangers posed by dumping which hudreds of years to decompossed and burning them will make it even worst which contribute to Earth's ozone holes development, acid rain pelts disappearing forests and the planet sweats under global warming.

A sick planet is not healthy for us.

Reuse, reduce and recycle - the philosophy of environmentalists worldwide is making inroads into the Malaysian scene. The last of the three "Rs", the most lucrative of the lot, is all set to be big business in the country. The recycling industry here exists where there is money to be made but the first two "Rs" should be emphasized.

There is no escaping from the fact that we will have to pay for whatever we do to or do not do for our environment. Sooner or later. The unsavoury present-day signs, however, are screaming the sooner the better. If we continue to dream uncaringly on until our sins of pollution and waste accumulate to hellish proportions, not only would our vision of our future be blighted, we may be left, if we were to survive, without a future in sight.

No one can deny the fact that our environment has suffered and has taken as much as it can; it can take no more. Global-warming and international concern have intensified even as scientists and politicians recognise rather belatedly that not only do the welfare and economies of their countries lie at the mercy of the environment, even mankind's survival is at stake.

It is unclear whether public awareness alone without enforcement, a genuine commitment to protecting the environment. Getting the public to recycle or reclaim packaging materials such as paper, metals, glass and plastics instead of simply throwing them away has always been a challenge for the packaging industry. In an on-going battle to save the environment, investment in the latest technology to recycle such materials may cost packaging companies dearly in the short run, but it is also increasing making good sense as consumers become more environment conscious and responsible. The environment consciousness is the key to our survival. For example, we could refuse a plastic bag for our purchase although it is very difficult to persuade shopkeepers not to give us one.

We also have to come up with something not only to reduce, reuse or recycle to solve the dilemma, or improve on a solution, particularly if it benefits a lot of people especially future generation. May be we might add in a few more 'Rs', Re-think, refill, repair and so on.

For example, the first thing to do is to re-think one's life, in one's home and in the office, in terms of the environment and to reduce one's consumption as a matter of course.

Refilling, for example, which is still a new concept to customers in Malaysia although it was introduced 15 years ago by various companies that used plastic as their products container to reuse it, has to be well and continuously promoted.

Governments also should force the plastic industries and encourage public to use products made of 100 per cent biodegradable and compost able materials such as from sugar cane husks (baggase) and corn waste which decompose faster (45 to 180 days - Return 2 Green) or products made of fibres from oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches ( Ecofuture) or at least the Oxo Biodegradable (OBD) plastic, which decompose naturally within 5 to 10 years (even though it's not good enough) which relieving the impact of empty plastic containers on the environment where as the conventional polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastics will typically take hundreds of years to degrade.

You have some ideas? Share it with me and others.

Since the Earth is all we have, don't you think we should treat it a little better? And it's not difficult, really. We don't have to change our lifestyles completely, only do things a little more consciously, remembering that we have a symbiotic relationship with Earth. What can we do to make a difference?

Brake Failure - The Brake Master Cylinder

Today my 25 years old (which almost become an antique) 240GL Volvo Station Wagon, experienced a brake failure (the braking power was severely reduced) while I was driving to Kuala Lumpur. Fortunately, I had realized the failure before entering the highway. So I have to turn back to nearby workshop for an inspection.

There are lots of brake components that can go bad (wheel cylinders, master cylinders, discs, boosters and even brake pads). After a thorough inspection by a mechanic, the brake master cylinder was found to be the problem and the source of the failure.

There was a leakage inside the master cylinder. The brake fluid inside both reservoirs was almost empty. Since it is an old car, there is no brake fluid sensor which could warned me earlier if there was a fluid reduction.

Most car braking systems are broken into two circuits, (Is that why there are two reservoirs?) with two wheels on each circuit to increase safety. In most vehicles it is one front wheel and one rear wheel although some vehicles split front and rear wheels. With a dual system like this, if a brake fluid leak occurs in one circuit, we only loose half of our brakes. We will be able to stop although it will take somewhat longer. We will have to press the pedal further to activate it. In my case I am not sure which circuit was leaked because it was concealed.

Let me show you how it works:

When we press the brake pedal, it pushes on the first piston through a linkage. Pressure builds in the cylinder and lines as the brake pedal is depressed further. The pressure between the first and second piston forces the second piston to compress the fluid in its circuit. There will be a same pressure in both circuits if the brakes are operating properly.

If there is a leakage in one of the circuits, that circuit will not be able to maintain pressure. Here you can see what happens when one of the circuits, for example the circuit rear seal develops a leak.

When the first circuit leaks, the pressure between the first and second cylinders is lost. This causes the first cylinder to contact the second cylinder. Now the master cylinder behaves as if it has only one piston. The second circuit will function normally, but you can see from the figure above that we will have to press the pedal further to activate the second piston. Since only two wheels have pressure, the braking power will be severely reduced.

Nuclear Power as fifth source of energy in Malaysia

NUCLEAR technology is often seen in a negative light by most people. However, they don't realise that there are many positive applications for this form of technology. For instance, nuclear technology has been used to increase output in agriculture and industry, in the field of medical science, it can be applied to study, non-invasively, the patient's body through x-ray, while in engineering it can be applied to non destructive testing and lots more. Sixty Four years after the atom was split, there is still talk about the need to demystify nuclear science and technology in its many peaceful applications. That a lot of fear, suspicion and uncertainty which still prevails is recognised because the atom for destruction is imprinted in people's minds.

“Malaysia is now set to use nuclear power as an alternative energy source by 2025, as it is the cheapest source of power in the long run with several government agencies were working on forming a committee to implement the policy”, Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Fadillah Yusof said.

In Malaysia application of nuclear science and technology for national development was established since 1972 through an agency known as Centre for Application of Nuclear Malaysia (CRANE) which later changed to Tun Ismail Atomic Research Centre (PUSPATI).

When PETRONAS was established on 17 August 1974 after 19 oilfields was encountered at Malaysian waters in 1973 (where 90,000 barrels per day of petroleum were withdrawn), the need of nuclear as a source of energy was put aside.

PUSPATI was then renamed to Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT) in 1994 after It was placed under Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment in 1990. Following its restructuring, MINT was then given a new identity as Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) in September 2006 until now.

According to the Malaysia Energy Centre (MEC), Malaysia registered a gross electricity generation of 101,325 gigawatt hours (GWh - One gigawatt hour is equivalent to one billion watts). As the country's energy bill increases because of increasing demand for clean and sustainable energy and depleting energy resources such as nation's natural gas which is expected to be exhausted by 2019, there was a need to reconsider for peaceful, safe and effective use of nuclear energy.

Should Malaysia emulate Japan in taking steps to generate electricity since nuclear power is the most viable choice as solar power, the other alternative, was still too expensive to be mass-produced? For instance to generate 1,000MW of electricity per year through solar power 100km square of area is needed, while 30 tonnes of uranium is needed for Nuclear fission.

In most issue there are pros and cons.

The popular anti-nuclearism of the 1970s and 1980s had two inestimable benefits.

Firstly, it helped end the Cold War. Just as memories were fading of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (where on Aug 6, 1945, an American bomber, named Enola Gay, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima killing more than 100,000 men, women and children. The mushroom cloud from the blast was seen by the crew of another American plane, Jabbitt III, some 320 kilometres away), the nuclear scares of Windscale in Britain, Three Mile Island in the United States and Chernobyl in the Ukraine refreshed the popular drive to accelerate nuclear disarmament and curtail proliferation.

Secondly, it galvanised the search for alternative energy through the increasingly sophisticated exploitation of wind, water, geothermal and solar power. On these two points alone, much credit is due to those who have been devoutly opposed to the nuclear option on the basis of what can happen when such technology fails.

The lessons of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl however have been learnt and technological advances since then have made nuclear plants safe. Nuclear scientist Jong Hyun Kim claimed that nuclear reactors were so safe that if you wanted to make an aircraft as safe as a nuclear reactor, it would never fly.

The role of nuclear power plants is to stabilize and secure the supply of electricity which would also help to keep electricity prices at a reasonable level and protect the environment from harmful pollutants as a result of the massive use of fossil fuels.

Whatever decision, in my opinion, the pros and cons need to be weigh wisely before embarking on any nuclear power programme in the country for the sake of the people.

Advanced Safety Vehicle (AVS)

What if vehicle could talk? And what if they could think and react too?

Vehicles that can talk and react, sound like science fiction doesn't it? Well, it exists and it's called Advance Safety Vehicles (AVS). Although these vehicles couldn't really talk like we human do, however they could communicate with each other.

Honda Odyssey with ASV-4 (Equipped with a state-of-the-art Multi-view Camera System), Honda Forza 250 ASV-4 (Equipped with Heads-Up Display, Communication Helmet and Haptic Seat) and IT Monpal 4 (with Longitudinal Oriented Normative temporal Gap (LONG) design.)

The ASV project began way back in April 1991 as a joint collaboration between Honda Motor Co. and Japan Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

These ASVs were designed by Honda engineers to exchange speed and positional information and other data between vehicles or between a vehicle and an electric cart (vehicle-to-vehicle communications), as well as between the vehicle and road infrastructure (vehicle-to-infrastructure communications), in order to provide the drivers with information which may help to prevent fatal traffic accidents.

Honda ASVs are equipped with HMI (Human Machine Interface) technology, which utilize communications infrastructure to effectively convey information to the driver on the presence of small motorcycles and electric carts and other vehicles obscured by buildings or sharp curve motorways that would be difficult to detect based only on the use of independent on-board sensors.

The Multi-view Cameras System which was designed to help a driver observe blind spots when parking and driving through a three-way intersection or narrow road are located in the front and rear of the vehicle as well as on it's side mirrors, provides the Honda Odyssey driver with a full 360 degree view via the vehicle's navigation screen.

How ASV Helps Save Lives?

Now in its fourth phase, a number of advanced safety systems found in today's Honda vehicles - such as the Intelligent Night Vision, Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMS) and Honda Intelligent Driver Support (HiDS) were the result of the ASV program.

These safety system which was introduced in the ASV program were improvised and later Incorporated in Honda vehicles with the goal of providing 'Safety for Everyone' .

Intelligent Night Vision

Using the "far infrared" wide-angle cameras positioned in the lower section of the vehicle's front bumper, the world's first Intelligent Night Vision system which able to detect pedestrians that approach or are in the vehicle's path based on human body heat. It also able to determine the pedestrian's shape and size, a visual and audio is sounded to alert the driver of the pedestrian's presence. This system was made available on the Honda Legend, released in Japan in 2004.

Honda Intelligent Driver Support

Honda developed the Honda Intelligent Driver Support (HiDS) to help relieve driver stress. It includes the Intelligent Highway Cruise Control (IHCC), which automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, and the Lane-Keeping Assist System (LKAS) that prevent lane departure. HiDS was made available in the 7th generation Honda Accord and Accord Wagon, launched in Japan, in 2002.

Collision Mitigation Brake System

Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMS) is able to predict rear-end collisions and assist brake operation so as to minimise the effect inflicted on occupants and the vehicle.

By determining the like hood of a collision occurring based on driving condition, distance to the vehicle ahead and relative speeds, the system uses audio and visual warnings to prompt the diver to take preventive action. It also automatically initiates brake to help reduce the vehicle's speed further. This system was integrated into the 2003 Honda Inspire, together with the E-Pretensioner system, which retracts the seat belt in anticipation of an impact.
