Malaysia has experienced strong economic growth in the last decades. Energy has been a key input to the development and growth of the country. Taking into account the growing energy consumption and domestic energy supply constraints, Malaysia has set sustainable development and diversification of energy sources. Malaysia faces complex choices as it looks to expand it energy mix to ensure its energy security. The electricity demand of Malaysia will increase by 4.7% per year over the outlook period, to reach 274 TWh in 2030.
The per capita electricity demand is projected to be double to 7571 kWh/person in 2030.
The electricity generation mixture consists of gas, coal and hydro-power as the major contributor and a few from oil as well as renewable source like biomass, solar and wind. The generation of electricity from fossil fuels is not just facing the depletion and escalation of prices, but also is a major and growing contributor of pollutants such as CO2, NOX, SO2 for global warming. Meanwhile most renewable sources are either not in full scale commercial capacity or had a significant consequence to the environment. Various environmental, cost and fossil fuel depletion issues have lead most nations including Malaysia, to re-look on the possibility of using nuclear as an energy source in the future as nuclear power plants have much longer lifespan and cleaner source of energy, vis-a-via fossil fuel plants.

the fact that nuclear energy can generate tones more of electical energy than any other sourse...but what about the radioactive waste products produced?....how will it effect the environment?

if TNB were to build a nuklear power plant in 2025, how much land would be required for the contruction......would it require deforestation?

nuclear waste can be recycle back into fuel and the nuclear plant is as big as regular coal or gas plant.
ReplyDeletewe are now moving towards to modern country,and year by year the popoulation of its citizen increase. the source like coal and gas likely to be finish in few years coming,so we need something to ensure our energy. TNB realized this matter and they make such a bright decision to build a nuclear plant to ensure the electricity in our country. even Malaysia still have to do lots of research about nuclear,but in the end,it is a good choice and give lots of benefits.

Dear Ahmad Adam Mohd Rozain,
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate your response and hope you will continue reading and commenting on our blog. All and all, we must learn as many solution as possible, especially as engineers. And not all the new solution can be better compare to the old ones, but there solution will always be depended on the situation. With many nuclear energy engineers that Malaysia will produce in the future, the research of nuclear energy will definitely take place as one of the main R&D sector in Malaysia. =)
