ECCJ Held 8th Energy Conservation Training (BECMY8 Part 2) for Malaysia in an Online Format
<Meeting>
Under the instruction and financial support of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, the Energy Conservation Center, Japan (ECCJ) has been implementing a bilateral energy conservation cooperation project with Malaysia which continued in FY2021. This time, thermal technology training (BECMY8 Part 2) was conducted for 36 persons related to government institutions, industry/associations and universities over the four-day period of December 3, 10, 17 and 24, 2021. Following on from the energy conservation practical training (BECMY8 Part 1) held in November, the training was conducted in an online format due to the impact of the spread of COVID-19, which made it difficult to dispatch experts to Malaysia or conduct invited training in Japan.
