The Awareness and Impact of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on Climate Change in Malaysia

Environmental Issues ◽

Policy Makers ◽

Economic Issues ◽

This article aims to investigate the level of public awareness and perception regarding carbon capture and storage (CCS) and climate change in Malaysia. The article also aims to identify those social, economic and environmental issues which affect CCS and combating climate change in the country. The findings revealed that more than 79 percent of the respondents were willing to have government initiatives to implement CCS projects. However, about 21 percent were against these initiatives due to their different perceptions and opinions regarding CCS. By using partial least squares (PLS) model through SmartPLS 2.0, it is found that social and economic issues of CCS have significant positive while environmental issues have no significant impact on combating climate change. The findings offer significant implications for regulators, policy makers, and practitioners regarding social, economic and environmental issues of CCS and climate change in Malaysia.

One of the most important environmental problems in today's world is climate change caused by greenhouse gases. Due to the increase in CO2 emissions from greenhouse gases, climate change is increasing and moving towards the point of no return. In this process, many ideas have been developed to combat climate change. One of these ideas is that cities should be sustainable. In order for cities to be sustainable, activities such as expanding the use of renewable energy resources in cities, increasing green and environmentally friendly transportation, improving air quality, and minimizing carbon emissions should be carried out. In this context, open green areas have important effects in terms of improving air quality, reducing the heat island effect in cities and especially keeping carbon emissions to a minimum. Thus, the efficiency and productivity of carbon capture and storage of green areas come to the fore. There are several methods to measure the carbon capture and storage efficiency of green areas and to evaluate their efficiency. In this study, the methods used in determining open green areas in cities and evaluating biomass productivity in these areas will be examined.

This paper provides a brief update on some of the key environmental issues that arose during 2008. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects dominated the referrals for petroleum related projects made under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 during the 2008 calendar year. The environmental aspects of these projects are summarised. The focus of the Federal Government on policy and legislation to meet greenhouse gas abatement commitments in response to climate change has resulted in the development of a number of key policies that will impact on petroleum and gas developments. This has also been reflected in policy and legislation at State levels. The first reporting period for the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 started on 1 July 2008. Carbon capture and storage capability is seen as an essential component of any low emission energy future. Legislation and policy need to be delivered in a timeframe to meet low emission deadlines, as this provides the framework for the implementation of technology. Key legislation was debated and delivered during 2008, but the administrative and regulatory framework is still in preparation. Several projects for which geosequestration is a key component are summarised. Regulatory review has suggested that streamlining of approvals and removing duplication of approvals would decrease the significant delays some projects are experiencing. Regulation that is outcomes based rather than process driven and prescriptive will also facilitate more timely approval of projects.

AbstractThis article will discuss how transboundary chains for carbon capture and storage (CCS) relates to the rights and obligations of states pursuant to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol (Kyoto). We will discuss questions related to chains of CCS where CO2 is captured at an installation in one country, transported, and injected and stored in geological formations on the continental shelf of another country.1 How does the climate regime apply to such a CO2 chain"?

The Impact ◽

Amending municipal solid waste incineration with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a new approach that can reduce the climate change impacts of waste incineration. This study provides a detailed analysis of the consequences of amending the new Amager Bakke incinerator in Copenhagen (capacity: 600,000 tonnes waste per year) with CCS as a post-combustion technology. Emphasis is on the changes in the energy flows and outputs as well as the environmental performance of the plant; the latter is assessed by life cycle assessment. Amending Amager Bakke with CCS of the chosen configuration reduces the electricity output by 50% due to steam use by the capture unit, but introducing post-capture flue gas condensation increases the heat output utilized in the Copenhagen district heating system by 20%. Thus, the overall net energy efficiency is not affected. The CCS amendment reduces the fossil CO2 emissions to 40 kg CO2 per tonne of incinerated waste and stores 530 kg biogenic CO2 per tonne of incinerated waste. Potential developments in the composition of the residual waste incinerated or in the energy systems that Amager Bakke interacts with, do not question the benefits of the CCS amendment. In terms of climate change impacts, considering different waste composition and energy system scenarios, introducing CCS reduces in average the impact of Amager Bakke by 850 kg CO2-equivalents per tonne of incinerated waste. CCS increases the environmental impacts in other categories, but not in the same order of magnitude as the savings introduced within climate change.
