Scania Malaysia (Scania) and Malaysia Innovation Agency (AIM) collaborate to exploring viable commercial opportunities for biofuels from municipal waste in Malaysia

I was recently invited to do some coverage at the Sweeden-Malaysia Innovation Day 2015 ministerial level round-table discussion here in MIDA, Kuala Lumpur a few days ago. There I witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Swedish manufacturer Scania and the Malaysia Innovation Agency (AIM). The MoU's purpose is the collaboration by the Malaysian Government, via AIM and Scania to explore viable commercial opportunities for biofuels from municipal waste in Malaysia in line with Malaysia's National Biomass Strategy 2020 (NBS 2020).Scania was represented by the Managing Director of Scania Southeast Asia, Marie Sjödin Enström, and AIM, represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Mark Rozario.

Now biofuels turn waste into clean energy, increase security of fuel supply and improve local economies, help create local job opportunities and industrial development. The collaboration study includes identification of possible project locations, price and market demand projections and economic and operational feasibility. Scania has the technology to catalyse this project as it has been one of the main contributors to the development and adaptation of biofuels, developing and producing commercial biofuel-based transport solutions for over 20 years in Sweden and in around the world. 

How does a company, namely a truck and bus manufacturer have such technology you may ask? Aside from producing commercial vehicles and doing lots of research & development on trucks and buses that can run on biofuel, one must note that most Swedish companies are very innovative. 99% of all waste is recycled into one form or another in Sweden. It is this implementation of recycling within Scania itself that allows such knowhow to be shared with others.And furthermore, what better way to conduct social responsibility programs globally with something that one is already familiar with. Do also add the fact that biofuel from municipal waste still requires transport, i.e garbage trucks, which Scania does supply. An win-win solution. These days, marketing, sales, CSR do things hand in hand. Added value. 

As I was present at the Innovation day, it is not only companies like Scania who are Swedish innovators, there are others in various fields - Saab is in aviation, SKF does world class seals and bearings, Atlas Copco does quality compressors, construction equipment, tools and assembly systems and more. You may also note that Volvo and Ikea are Swedish products too. They are very forward thinking and it would be beneficial for a country like Malaysia to learn from this country and their people. Technology makes lives better most of the time. And so, I do hope that Malaysia as a whole would put more emphasis on technology so that we do not get left behind. 

Anyway, according to what I have learnt, the study conducted between Scania and AIM will take a while. It will be an ongoing venture with some results out within a year or so. 

PRESS RELEASE

Scania accelerates the creation of high-value products and jobs through converting waste to wealth in Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur, 17th of November, 2015 – Scania Malaysia (Scania) and Agensi Inovasi Malaysia or Malaysia Innovation Agency (AIM) are to collaborate in exploring viable commercial opportunities for biofuels from municipal waste in Malaysia; in line with the National Biomass Strategy 2020 (NBS 2020).

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed today between Scania represented by the Managing Director of Scania Southeast Asia, Marie Sjödin Enström, and AIM, represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Mark Rozario.

Witnessing the signing were Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Y.B. Dato’ Mah Siew Keong and Sweden’s Minister for Strategic Development and Nordic Cooperation H.E. Mrs Kristina Persson; at the Sweden-Malaysia Innovation Day 2015 (SMID).

The MOU will see Scania and AIM conduct a feasibility study on the commercial opportunities of biofuels from municipal waste in Malaysia. The study includes identification of possible project locations, price and market demand projections and economic and operational feasibility.

Biofuels help clean up the air and reduce the carbon footprint from transport. Biofuels turn waste into clean energy, increase security of fuel supply and improve local economies, help create local job opportunities and industrial development. These are in line with NBS 2020’s aim to develop new industries and high-value opportunities by utilising biomass for high value products. Malaysia aims to be at the forefront of the development of new biomass-based industries, ultimately contributing towards Malaysia’s GNI and high-value job creation.

Scania has the technology to catalyse this project as it has been one of the main contributors to the development and adaptation of biofuels, developing and producing commercial biofuel-based transport solutions for over 20 years in Sweden and in around the world.

“Long-term business success means delivering greater profitability along with efficiency, CO2 reductions and social and ethical responsibility. Scania is proud to take the lead in the shift towards a sustainable transport system,” said Marie. “This means integrating sustainability fully into businesses and working with AIM to transform Malaysia towards creating lasting value.”

This is more CSR from an automotive industry player that deserves some coverage. 

Caltex Fuel Your School creates impact for students in Malacca. in partnership with MyKasih Foundation. In its fourth consecutive year, the Campaign had once again further raised the awareness in driving change and providing equal self-development with proper classroom facilities for students of high need schools in Malacca and Negeri Sembilan by enhancing a better environment and further promoting the learning of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics. By reaching out to schools in Malaysia one state at a time the Caltex Fuel Your School campaign has made a difference and this is especially important for high need schools as more than 50 percent of the students are from low income household

PRESS RELEASE

MALACCA, 18 Nov. 2015: Chevron Malaysia Limited, which carries the retail brand Caltex®,

successfully completed its annual community campaign, Caltex Fuel Your School in partnership with

MyKasih Foundation. In its fourth consecutive year, the Campaign had once again further raised the

awareness in driving change and providing equal self-development with proper classroom facilities for

students of high need schools in Malacca and Negeri Sembilan by enhancing a better environment and

further promoting the learning of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics.

“By reaching out to schools in Malaysia one state at a time, we are glad that the Caltex Fuel Your School

campaign has made a difference and this is especially important for high need schools as more than 50

percent of the students are from low income households. In line with our global initiative, Chevron’s

Energy for Learning, this community campaign truly helps to support learning-based programmes –

whether it’s acquiring new knowledge, gaining new skills or exposing individuals to different ways of

thinking,” said Policy, Government & Public Affairs Manager, Mokhtar Ali Ismail.

This year, out of 25 classroom projects funded for Malacca, Sekolah Kebangsaan Air Molek struck the

most wins and was awarded with learning materials worth RM30,000 in total. The submissions

contributed to a 60 percent increase in project submissions compared to the overall campaign last year.

“When I heard about the Caltex Fuel Your School campaign running again for this year, I immediately

started working on a project proposal, and I am thankful for this opportunity together with the team I had

with me to produce The English Transformers materials. The process definitely helped to motivate the

students and also added support to win this submission,” expressed Siti Fatimah Daud, an English teacher

from Sekolah Menengah Hang Kasturi, a school that also nabbed a spot among the 25 projects that were

selected.  She also commented that she aims to improve the quality of English with her students in terms

of vocabulary and to further empower her students to be more confident when conversing in the English

language.


The learning materials awarded to all winning projects of participating schools in both Malacca and

Negeri Sembilan created an impact reaching a total of 1,241 students. In Malacca itself, the Campaign

had reached out to more than 800 students with the support of Caltex® users who purchased petrol using

the Caltex® JOURNEY Card from 15 October to 14 November with RM2 pledged to the classroom

projects. Funds generated were channeled towards purchasing materials such as computer notebooks,

projectors, interactive white boards, electronic dictionaries and laboratory equipment, to name a few.

Present at the closing ceremony of the Caltex Fuel Your School campaign, Managing Director of

MyKasih Foundation, Jeffrey Perera said, “We applaud the concerted effort by all parties involved in

making the Fuel Your School campaign a success in Malacca. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to

work with Chevron once again to create a nurturing environment for students in pursuit for knowledge.

We look forward to supporting community learning initiatives through our partnership with Chevron.”

The Caltex Fuel Your School campaign is part of Chevron’s Energy for Learning – a global initiative

which encourages partnerships with local communities, government bodies or non-profit organisations to

expand learning opportunities as well as to support the development of both the social and economic

vitality of these communities.

“For the fourth consecutive year, we are very pleased with the project submissions and the campaign that

is helping to drive more and more schools to participate. We hope to continue this community effort and

extend it to more states in the coming years,” added Mokhtar at the closing ceremony of the Caltex Fuel

Your School campaign in Malacca.

For the past six decades, the Land Rover Series models and subsequently, the Defender, have played crucial roles in nation building all over the world.  The model was and remains the mainstay of many security forces, development agencies and service organisations due to its unmatched off-roading capabilities and almost unbreakable design and all-aluminium body construction.  Today, it is still the preferred vehicle for many outdoor and off-roading enthusiasts.
