Time might not be on our side.......

We can learn a lot from studying past trends because facts & figures don't lie. Malaysia oil production has peaked in 2004. Our oil consumption is continuously on the upward trend due to increase number of human population and the need for aggressive development to become a high income nation.

Based on oil data from EIA let's do a simple and conservative extrapolation to forecast on where Malaysia supply demand of oil would look like in the near future.




The outlook is HARDLY SURPRISING...TIME MIGHT NOT BE ON OUR SIDE AFTER ALL ! 


The year 2012 might be the turning point for the country to start paying expansive oil to sustain the country's development. That is the time when we have to rely on foreign oil more than our domestic reserve. Sadly, some countries go to WAR when the domestic oil production reached the peak level.


If you care about the future of our country, you can seriously take action by reducing your own oil consumption from NOW. A more proactive role is to switch to alternative energy: gas, solar, biofuel.  Share this with your loved ones.....SDMALAYSIA thinks we are never too late to take serious action for the sake of our future generations.......

  1. I entered your blog through your recently posting on Green Drinks.

    Optimization should be part of sustainable development. It helps in identifying the best way of using our limited resources with minimum waste. It also makes the desire of doing more with less realizable.

    On the daily basis, some of us are making decisions that have a dramatic impact of how much energy is being used. This decision making should be assisted with a decision support system that advises on the best of ways of doing things to minimize energy consumption and wastage. The advantage of having the ability to map out all feasible ways of doing a thing and intelligently search for the most desirable (optimized) way of doing that thing will be invaluable. This task is best handled using an optimization tool which supports optimized decision making.

    We can't curb the increasing oil or energy demand, but we can maximize the efficiency of energy usage and minimize the energy wastage. We should examine how energy-intensive systems are designed and operated and incorporate optimization wherever possible.

  2. Thanks for your inputs Wong.

    Are you working on something with regards to Malaysia energy optimisation?

    We welcome you to share in SDMLAYSIA :)

    cheers
