Abstract
The effect of diversifying its energy needs to coal gas hydro. and oil has turned Malaysia into an energy trader in the region. Malaysia exports its crude oil LNG and piped gas and imports fuel oil piped gas from Indonesia and coal from around the world. The country has drastically tipped the energy balance in the fuel mix in energy consumption from 87 dependence on oil in 1980 to 49 in 2000. Coal price are market driven and currently based on bilateral negotiations with reference to benchmark prices. Coal prices have been relatively low and very stable. Whilst gas has managed to displace fuel oil for power generation coal provides the next challenge to gas. Research and development RD must focus on harnessing a coal industry that is more economically efficient and less environmentally destructive. Advanced technologies from other countries that are proven to be appropriate locally must be adopted in the industry.
