Headquartered in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor, MGTC administers national green technology programs across certification (MyHIJAU Mark, MyHIJAU Directory, AEMAS/EMGS), green tax incentives (GITA, GITE, FTC), carbon market support (Bursa Carbon Exchange MRV), low carbon city frameworks (LCC 2030 Challenge, GeRAK grants, LCOS monitoring), and EV charging infrastructure (ChargEV network of 403 stations). Its proprietary technology stack includes the MyHIJAU Directory platform with mobile apps, the Low Carbon Operating System for emissions monitoring, the ChargEV mobile application for station discovery and charging session management, and certification code systems (MOF Kod Bidang) for green technology eligibility.

MGTC serves as the central coordinating body for Malaysia's green ecosystem, working with 21 federal ministries, 70 government agencies, and all 141 local authorities across Malaysia's 13 states and 3 federal territories. Its core customers include federal and state governments implementing green mandates, private sector companies seeking MyHIJAU certification and tax incentives, ESCOs and energy managers pursuing EMGS recognition, and training participants in the Green Academy.

The organization operates flagship platforms including IGEM (one of ASEAN's premier green technology exhibitions), the Kuala Lumpur Sustainability Summit, the Malaysia Pavilion at UNFCCC COP events, and the National Energy Awards. Strategic priorities through 2030 include scaling to 200 Low Carbon Zones, achieving the 10,000 EV charging point national target under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint, supporting Malaysia's 70% renewable energy and carbon neutrality commitments, and administering the GITA Asset 2024 expanded framework covering green hydrogen and wind energy.
