3. Putrajaya’s Low Carbon Green City Policy &Initiatives

Background of Putrajaya as a Green City At the Copenhagen COP15, Malaysia
has made a conditional commitment ofa reduction of carbon emission
intensity of Malaysian GDP, of up to40% by 2020 from a 2005 baseline.

 In tabling the 2010 Malaysian Budget,
the Prime Minister announced to“develop Putrajaya and Cyberjaya as
pioneer township in Green Technology
as a showcase for the development ofother townships” .

Putrajaya Structure Plan:
Sustainable Putrajaya 2025
Regulatory Framework that sets policies & initiatives/programmes to turn Putrajaya
into a sustainble low carbon green city

PGC2025 has identified
initiatives/programmes to be
implemented in line with the policiesof the structure plana) Putrajaya Bikeable City

Putrajaya Bikeable City
Putrajaya Structure Plan: Sustainable Putrajaya 2025
Policy 6: Implementing Integrated Transportation System
Initiative 6.5:
Encourage Walking and Cycling. This is to ensure that walking
and cycling will become a preferred transport/movement
options complementing the use of public transportation
Programmes:
P6.5A:
Provision of a seamless, comfortable and safe
pedestrian environment
P6.5B:
Provision of dedicated routes andP6.5C:
Encouraging bicycle rental services

Putrajaya Bikeable CityPGC2025 : Putrajaya Green City 2025
Make Putrajaya a Bikeable & Walkable City
Programmes
1-1 Make Cycling as preferred transport option:
 provision of separate route for cyclists &pedestrians,
 facilities; cycling parking space and shower facilities,
 improvement of existing cycle lanes
 safer routes to school & bicycle rental services.
1-2Make walking as preferred transport option:
 provision of separate route for cyclists &pedestrians
 pedestrianized streets, covered pedestrian walkways
 pedestrian related facilities information kiosks & benches

The anticipated contribution in terms ofreduction in GHG emission is 53ktCO2eq or 3%of the total reduction for 2025.

Current Initiative

Putrajaya Bikeable City

Current Initiative
1. To implement the Putrajaya as a bikeable city action identified in PGC2025
2. To reduce the GHG emission from the transportation sector
3. To support the tourism related activities in Putrajaya especially along theboulevard (Persiaran Perdana) of the city centre

First Phase : 24 kmb) Inventory of GHG Emissions 2013

Greenhouse Gas Emissions 2013
Inventory of Putrajaya GHG Emission 2013
1. Government buildings
2. Commercial buildings
3. Public amenities and facilities
4. Residential
5. Passenger transport
6. Freight transport &7. Solid waste
The overall GHG emissions for year 2013
were 1,316ktCO2eq as compared to
1,120ktCO2eq for year 2012 due to theincrease in: the completed building floor space
 the number of population
 the number of workers.
Emissions per capita were 13.2tCO2eq.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The inventory results indicates that the highest
GHG emissions is from the building sector at 72%(953 ktCO2eq), followed by the transportation
sector at 24% (312ktCO2eq) and solid waste at 4%(51ktCO2eq).
The highest source of GHG emissions is from theuse of electricity at 58% (785ktCO2eq), followedby petroleum at 22% (288ktCO2eq) and natural
gas at 16% (214ktCO2eq). This indicates that thecitywide energy sources are still dependent on
non-renewable energy.

c. Scheme for Reduction of Energy Consumption
in Buildings

Scheme for Reduction of Energy Consumption inBuildings
 Programmes and measures targeting at the reduction ofenergy consumption in buildings.
 The GHG inventory in 2013 indicates that the building sector
contributes the highest in terms of city’s GHG emissions at72%• PPj with the assistance of AIM & Tokyo Metropolitan
Government (TMG) is proposing a scheme targeting atreduction of energy consumption in buildings in Putrajaya
1. Set up institutional framework involving various parties andagencies
2. Devise implementation mechanism for energy consumption
reductions in buildings:
 measuring and reporting of energy consumption inbuildings/facilities
 responsible actors/parties to develop energy
consumption reduction plans in buildings/facilities &disclose reports
3. Formulate regulatory instrument & provide incentives
4. Prepare support instrument to facilitate the scheme

Way Forward

 In the years to come, PPj will ensure that cycling as a mode of transport will
be realised via promotional and educational programmes targetting atworkers, residents and schools
 PPj with the assistance of AIM, NIES and TMG will expedited theimplementation of the scheme targeting at reduction of energy consumptionin buildings in Putrajaya PPj will monitor closely the initiative to reduce GHG emissions by 2025 byintensifying programmes identified in Putrajaya Structure Plan and PGC2025
