utilization in industrial sector and power generation,by converting Gasoline, Diesel and LPG vehicles toCNG vehicles and also using Biofuels

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載

To promote Energy Efficiency and Conservation- Myanmar has abundant indigenous energy
resources and measure are yet to be taken
to utilize systematically, in order to have asustained development of country’s economy.
- The demand for energy is rapidly increasing
than can be supplied- Initiatives are to be taken for promotion ofenergy conservation programme both at thesupply/demand.
- The Promotion of Energy Efficiency andConservation (PROMEEC ) Project wasstarted in 2000

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載- Government has initiated the two
administrative actions(1) All government buildings to use day
light for illumination during officehours as mush as possible(2) All government vehicles are toobserve two dry days a monthIEEJ：2009年5月掲載

To promote use of Alternative Fuels inHousehold- Myanmar having a tropical climate withthree general seasons- 49% of the total land area is covered
with different types of forest- Woodfuel and charcoal are the main sources of thebio-energy- 76% of population are residing in rural areas, mainly
use the woodfuel for cooking- The urban population is using charcoal 4%-6%- In order to protect the environment and climaticconditions of country, deforestation mesasures areseriously being undertaken

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載- The Forest Department is encouraging
use of energy in efficient way- As a measure to use alternative fuel,emphasis has been made to use LPG
in household

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載

ENERGY DEMAND AND
SUPPLY-Myanmaris a developing country and its
economy is based mainly on agriculturalproducts.
-Early 1990s , most of the GDP is coming from
Agriculture Sector-- Myanmar launched Market Oriented
Economy in 1989-- The state has made tremendous efforts toimprove nation’s basic infrastructure :20

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載-Energy consumption in Myanmar is mainly upon
Traditional Energy such as Woodfuel and Charcoal-Commercial Energy ( Crude Oil , Natural Gas ,Hydropower and Coal ) makes up only 40 % ,Woodfuel 60 %-The total supply and consumption amount in thelast 4 years has significantly increased due to theinfrastructure developments…
-Myanmar is richly endowed with both renewable andnonrenewable types of energy sources- The need for increase production of commercial energy
is emphasized to meet the industrials development
program

22IEEJ：2009年5月掲載- The import volume of crude oil /petroleum
products has to be reduced and at thesame time administrative / management
measures are taken for efficient consumptionof crude oil / petroleum products- The government has been implementing
awareness campaign for efficient andeffective use of energy by publicizing theenergy efficient slogans on the media- The government is also implementing thesubstitution of natural gas for liquid fuel inthe transport sector . So far a total of over
25,000 vehicles have been converted toNatural Gas Vehicle.

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載To meet the increasing demand, the following
efforts have been made to boost the current
production of energy:- On the other hand , the government is guiding
development programs in research on biofuel such as
Ethanol , Gasohol and Bio-diesel as an alternative
energy to be used in Transport Sector- In electric power generation , the government isconverting liquid fuel based generation to natural
gas based generation, where more than 60% of
domestic natural gas production are supplied topower generation plants . Furthermore thegovernment is putting a high priority to develophydro power plant , so that hydel based generation
will eventually become a based load generation

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載- The demand side measures are also taking
into account in order to reduce the importquantity. The supply of products to thegovernment sector was tightly controlled andallowed according to work loads andproject priorities- For private sector the quota system isapplied on monthly basis. The government issubsidizing the price of Motor Gasoline andHigh Speed Diesel.
- For private Industries and Manufacturing
Sectors , the government is selling in US $ /FEC earned from their business without
limiting the quantity

IEEJ：2009年5月掲載- For the time being, Myanma Petroleum
Products Enterprise, under the Ministryof Energy is practicing the daily
floating price mechanism based on
Singapore Platt’s Oil priceIEEJ：2009年5月掲載
