Introduction

Today, globally most energy is provided by burning oil. Only a very small percentage is generated by nuclear power plants. The contribution of energy from renewable resources is almost negligible. But this will change in the future with increasing prices of oil.

Harnessing biogas discharge potential as energy source for power generation will provide the opportunity to reduce operation cost of a sewerage treatment plant (STP) and will stimulate the economic growth of Renewable Energy in a country.

Technology Feature

This technology was a result of strong collaboration between the Government of Malaysia, The Energy University and Water Consortium of Malaysia (IWK) to develop a state-of-the art biogas-grid connected electric power plant by converting sewage sludge and treated waste water into renewable energy. This technology has been proven a success and gained much national recognition.

• Modern and efficient sewerage system and design
• Efficiency to flare the methane produced from the digester in order to reduce the GWP by 21 times
• Capable to stimulate the economic growth of RE industry namely products and systems such as Biogas engine, micro hydro turbines, generators, etc.
• Creating a new market share for RE products and system RE suppliers/vendors.

Market Potential

Organic biogas market was worth over USD 19.5 billion in 2015 and is forecast to exceed USD 32 billion by 2023, growing at more than 6% CAGR up to 2023. U.S. market size is expected to witness significant growth owing to strict regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions.

Global biogas market is also anticipated to witness substantial growth owing to government led stringent regulations pivoted towards greenhouse emissions. In 2016, Singapore government had led directive pertaining to carbon emission reduction by 36% by 2030 below 2005 levels. The technology is increasingly gaining importance on account of rising focus toward wastewater management and resource recovery technologies.

Furthermore, the capability of sludge conversion to drastically reduce residual sludge volumes while creating new revenue stream through on-site energy production will further offer an impetus to the technology deployment. With the huge demand globally on converting waste to wealth, our innovative biogas energy recovery technology is well positioned to contribute to urban sustainable development.

Introduction

Water is a vital component for all people on the planet. We generally underestimate it as a result of its accessibility but when in shortage, it turns into our most valuable resource. Malaysia gets a high level of rainfall as the year progressed but not until June 2014. It is also highly proven that Malaysia faced a dramatic complication in reduction of rain fall on June 2014 which leads to 700,000 family units at Klang Valley were influenced by water disturbances brought by low water levels at water treatment plants in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Hereby, harvesting rain water for domestic usage is studied where archaeologist recent confirmation verifies that the catch of rainwater extent 4,000 years back and the idea of rainwater harvesting in China may go back 6,000 years. The discovery of harvesting rain water for domestic usage led Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN).

Technology Feature

This project to an option or substitution in times of dry spell. The work also can reduce the water bill payment and supply continuous clean water to the residence. The major outcome of this work shows 20 L/s pump flow rate is chosen from three test cases for the rain water harvesting system using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software as it gives the best rain water velocity, pressure and turbulent kinetic energy distribution along the system.

Market Potential

The Sustainable Rain Water Harvesting System market is witnessing an exponential rise in the size of the market due to low raining and hot weather according to Malaysia Meteorological Department. The overall market was estimated to be RM 264K in FY 2021. Although the estimated cost is slightly high due to the increasing price of raw materials and the currency, the payback period can be achieved in Max. 2 Months. It is estimated that the water bill can be saved by RM 11K per month if this project is successful..

Introduction

In this day and age, technology becomes more advanced and better in its performance to help us accomplish our daily work properly where it can be specified to our on-hand devices, for example, a mobile phone. Therefore, every device will run out of energy which leads to having trouble working when it uses to its maximum capacity. A battery pack/power bank can supply energy by providing an individual with the ability to store a large amount of energy, monitor the battery percentage, provide sufficient output and deliver according to its specification. Renewable energy takes part in providing a power source that is very effective for distributing to any devices that requires it as it emits less carbon dioxide.

Technology Feature

A Solar Energy Battery Storage using a Solar Panel and Arduino ESP32 Dev. Board. A device model that can help people start saving electricity and evaluate the productivity of the device model by using renewable energy as a supplier. In this project, ESP32 Dev. Board will be monitored and can solve most of the problems in renewable energy by checking the voltage and percentage. It will also notify the user of the battery storage energy condition.

Market Potential

The growth of the battery pack can attribute to the increase in the adoption of smartphones and other electronic devices, the rising power consumption of electronic devices due to advancements in mobile technologies, and the affordability of power banks. The Global Portable Power Bank market size estimation is to reach $12,300 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 3.4% during 2020-2026. The development of battery packs with renewable energy to boost battery pack production is favor by the market.
