Semester 3 2021/2022

Project for MEHB4073/533: Energy & Sustainable Development

Team Members: Follow existing grouping.

Presentation: 28th July 2022 (MS Teams)
Deadline for Report: 5th August 2022 (submitted softcopy via MS Teams)

Introduction: Countries across the globe are moving toward agreements that will bind all nations
together in an effort to limit future greenhouse gas emissions. These agreements such as the Paris
Agreement and Glasglow Climate Pact calls for more accurate estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and to monitor changes over time.
Therefore, GHG inventory is developed to estimate GHG emissions in the country so that it can be
used to develop strategies and policies for emissions reductions.

Task: There are many sectors in the industrial processes and product use which are not accounted in
the Malaysia Biennial Update Report and National Communication. These industries are either not
existent or data is unavailable.

Estimate the greenhouse gas emissions for any ONE of these activities that have not been reported
for Malaysia in the inventory year 2019 (First-Come-First-Serve basis). Write a technical report
consisting of the following details and present the findings.

This is a group project and worth 20%

Please use the format below for the Technical Report.

 Double spacing
 Font size 11, Calibri
 Justified
 All references must be correctly cited with in-text citation.
 The report should not be more than 15 pages (excluding references and appendices).

Sections in the report must include:

 Introduction: Describe how GHG is emitted in that subsector.

 Methodology: Describe which tier of calculation can be used, and the choice of emission factor.
 Data: Explain what kind of activity data is needed and provide references to the proxy data.
 Estimations: Estimate the GHG emissions for that subsector.

Method: 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines
