Energy Management

Improving our energy efficiency not only reduces the use of natural resources and

emissions of CO

2

and other pollutants but also potentially lowers costs. As an

organisation with operations in 3 countries, the Group is subjected to a wide range

of energy supply constraints and commercial pressures and therefore uses a wide

range of fuels.

In FYE2018, the Group implemented various energy optimisation projects and

initiated new studies, which upon implementation, is expected to reduce the

Group’s energy use in the years to come. The projects include both operational and

maintenance improvements, as well as the replacement of less efficient processing

equipment. During the year, a 25 kWh solar photovoltaic (PV) system had been

installed at the Group’s Head Office building in Kuala Lumpur that was made up

of 76 panels. The system involves a one-time cost but requires low maintenance,

thus also reducing capital and operational expenditure in the long-term. At the

present 25KwH capacity, the energy generated will result in a decrease of CO

2

emissions by 17 tonnes a year. Given the favourable results to-date, we are now

looking at expanding the use of solar energy.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018

Refrigeration,

lighting

and

air-

conditioning account for the majority

of energy used by IFC’s processing

plant. During the year, IFC invested

RM337,300 in energy efficiency projects

which included LED lighting retrofits and

upgrades in electrical infrastructure.

IFC is also upgrading 2 of its boilers

to replace the existing ageing boilers.

These upgrades, once completed

will add to the efficiency increases at

IFC’s processing plant. At present, IFC

recycles the steam produced by its

boilers. This steam energy which would

otherwise be wasted is captured and

reused to supply heat for the heating

process.
