THE Selangor government is encouraging foreign and domestic companies in the state to come up with innovative ideas, while pushing for clean production processes.<\/p>\n

Senior state executive councillor for Invest\u00adment, Industry & Trade, Teresa Kok said businesses must adapt green ideas that benefit the environment and give products or services an added edge.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur state is well poised to tap into the global green movement and has attracted a total investment of RM7.684bil from January till September this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in the midst of crafting out various awards and incentive plans to encourage more firms to adopt low carbon emission and renewable energy efforts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kok added that the state government has introduced quit rent rebates for green buildings, free parking bays for hybrid cars, installation of energy-saving bulbs and solar power.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Kok launched the \u201cSelangor Global Green Seminar – Surfing the Green Wave\u201d that was organised by Selangor State Investment Centre (SSIC) and supported by Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia deputy representative Lin Min-Li said Taiwan\u2019s Bureau of Energy hoped to generate 8% of its power through renewable means by 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are exploring power options such as hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and other potential resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an island called Penghu where we have a low-carbon project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has achieved recycling rates of up to 48.8%. Our aim is to share these experiences with Selangor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lin added that Taiwan was looking into business ventures with Malaysian companies in areas such as solar photovoltaic systems, LED lighting and biomass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
