Two activities in Malaysia that emit large amounts of CO₂ are electricity generation, and iron and steel production. To decarbonize the former, Malaysia should invest in a flexible energy system to overcome the intermittent characteristic of solar energy by influencing the pattern of demand with peak load pricing, increasing energy storage capability, and entering into a regional electricity grid arrangement. Malaysia should respond to the recent large capacity expansion in iron and steel production with blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) technology by ending immediately the issuance of new licenses for facilities that use this BF-BOF technology, and speed up the process of adopting advanced green, near-zero emission technologies (e.g., Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology [HYBRIT]), by applying for foreign technical assistance (e.g., the United Nations Climate Technology Center and Networks [UN-CTCN]) and for concessionary climate finance under the Paris Agreement. Finally, to be consistent with the 1.5°C pathway for the world, Malaysia should aim to commit to achieve peak carbon emissions by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050.

马来西亚排放大量CO ₂的两项活动是发电和钢铁生产。为了实现前者的脱碳，马来西亚应投资灵活的能源系统，通过峰值负荷定价影响需求模式、增加储能能力以及加入区域电网安排，克服太阳能的间歇性特征。马来西亚应立即停止为使用该BF-BOF技术的设施颁发新许可证，以应对最近采用高炉-转炉（BF-BOF）技术的钢铁生产的大规模扩张，并加快这一进程采用先进的绿色、近零排放技术（例如氢突破炼铁技术[HYBRIT]），申请外国技术援助（例如联合国气候技术中心和网络[UN-CTCN]）和优惠气候融资根据《巴黎协定》。最后，为了与世界1.5°C路径保持一致，马来西亚应致力于在2030年实现碳排放峰值，并在2050年实现净零排放。
