Cambodia remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels for electricity generation and transport, and with domestic sources of oil and gas not likely to be viable in the short term, biofuels are increasingly appealing.
Cambodia possesses domestic resources for the production of electricity from clean sources but making use of oil and gas reserves to fuel the growing demand from transport will take time, said the Asian Development Bank (ADB) report "Status and Potential for the Development of Biofuel and Rural Renewable Energy Cambodia."
"Biofuel is one option for use in transport, and biofuel will remain a worthwhile option for a diversified energy supply even after the country's oil reserves become available," added the report. In the short-tomedium term, both the urban and rural electricity supply will continue to be dominated by oil-fired generators, making decentralized biofuel production for transport and electricity an attractive option.
