With a growing global population, Malaysia urgently requires a large amount of energy to drive progress and technologies. However, the country heavily depends on natural gas, coal, and oil for power production, leading to environmental issues. Fuel cells are recognized as a strong solution to address energy supply challenges and reduce costs.
Global population growth has boosted world energy demand. As a developing nation, Malaysia urgently needs a large amount of energy to drive progress and technologies to ensure its convenience. Unfortunately, Malaysia's conventional power production is heavily dependent on natural gas, coal, and oil. As a result, many environmental issues have arisen that harm the region. Besides, large transmission towers' consumption to supply electricity has resulted in high construction and maintenance costs, and problems emerging in uneven areas such as highlands and mountains. Fuel cells have been recognized as an alternative power generation device that simultaneously addresses Malaysia's energy supply and dramatically reduces costs. This article addressed the electricity scenario in Malaysia to demonstrate that fuel cells are a very strong solution as alternative renewable energy to meet the energy demand in this country. The technology in Malaysia for fuel cell-based portable devices and residential energy resources has been discussed as the most advantageous application to be introduced for residential applications.
