An overview of The Regulatory Journey

IPS Malaysia has not only established its prominence in sustainable energy practices by taking a primary role as the rotating service provider for the innovative Net-Zero Carbon Initiative, but also signaled its readiness to support other companies with similar aspirations.

 

In his presentation, Ashwin Narayanan commented that industrial equipment was power-hungry and needed much energy to function efficiently.

 

He also discussed the Net-Zero Carbon Initiative which embodies a contemporary, global effort aimed at achieving carbon neutrality.

 

What made it important?

Central to this endeavor is the balance between carbon emissions and their subsequent removal, a dynamic that directly addresses and reduces the far-reaching impact of climate change.

 

By leveraging innovative strategies, adopting sustainable practices and building meaningful alliances, the initiative is poised to substantially decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

 

This comprehensive approach aims to guide industries and organizations towards a greener, more sustainable future, with an emphasis on collective responsibility to ensure the well-being of our planet and a better tomorrow for future generations.

 

With partners like IPS Malaysia, the initiative harnesses specialized expertise to further amplify its impact and pave the way for global sustainability.

The initiative featured engaging presentations, interactive discussions and networking opportunities that provided the attendees with a holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to decarbonization in industrial settings.

 

At the event, Dato' Haji Salim mentioned that there were two basic concepts to achieving Net-Zero carbon, which was to reduce emission and increase absorption of carbon dioxide.

 

“Absorption is mainly done by natural means, by forest, trees and more, but due to limiting factors such as land space, we would definitely benefit from any and all reduction methods, hence efforts like this are very much welcomed,” he said.
