Green Technology in Malaysia

Example of Green Technology used in Malaysia

green technology issues in Malaysia ?

where are they generally work ?

who are using this in this country right now ?

here is the example of green technology discussed in Malaysia.

Other than that, there are also discussion on using Solar Power , 

Grid- connected Photovoltaic System (GCPV)

Why Solar Power?

1. Companies locally incorporated under the Companies Act 1965 with solar systems installed are qualified to apply for Investment Tax Allowance or Pioneer Status withincome tax exemption. Under the Budget 2011 announcement: this incentive will be extended for applications received until 31 December 2015.

2. Energy from sunlight is abundance and Malaysia is blessed with consistent sunlight all year round. Hence, more power output can be generated from the system.

3. Solar energy is sustainable energy. By using Solar Photovoltaic (PV) to generate electricity for your home you aren't depleting the planet of anything that it needs and nor are you pumping out any nasty by-products such as carbon dioxide.

4. The residential Solar Photovoltaic (PV) hardly needs any maintenance once it has been installed. Also, it last for a very long time as compared to other sources of electricity generation that needs regular monitoring and heavy maintenance. If you are a business using it, you gain trust by being environmental friendly and receive additional tax deduction benefits from government for using the clean power.

5. Implementation of Feed in Tariff (FIT) System in Malaysia benefits house owners who utilize solar system. Feed in Tariff is a policy mechanism which allows users tosell back the additional electricity generated from PV System to TNB, with a higher rate ranging from RM 1.20/kWh to RM 1.75/kWh.

Pro & Cons of Green Computing in Malaysia

As a Malaysian, we have been encouraged to support the green technology and green computing.

All things that we do have their own pro and contra itself. Below are the advantages and the disadvantages of using the concept of "Green Computing"

Advantages :

• Reduced energy usage from green computing techniques translates into lower carbon dioxide emissions, stemming from a reduction in the fossil fuel used in power plants and transportation. 

• Conserving resources means less energy is required to produce, use, and dispose of products. 

• Saving energy and resources saves money. 

• Green computing even includes changing government policy to encourage recycling and lowering energy use by individuals and businesses. 

• Reduce the risk existing in the laptops such as chemical known to cause cancer, nerve damage and immune reactions in humans. 

Disadvantages :

• Green computing could actually be quite costly. 

• Some computers that are green may be considerably underpowered. 

• Rapid technology change
