Biomass Energy in Myanmar Villages Aung Myint General Secretary Renewable Energy Association Myanmar REAM 28 th August 2014 ADB Renewable Energy Consultation Workshop, Nay Pyi Taw

Livelihood of Majority Population depends on Country Natural Resources of SOIL, WATER & PLANTS and its Ecosystem Resources including Climate [ENVIRONMENT] Destructing the Environment for ENERGY EXPLORATION will disturb Sustainable Development

RENEWABLE ENERGY is Practical Answer for Myanmar in solving Energy Problem Myanmar is one of the lowest energy consumer, but it makes advantage of highest potential to commercialize the RENEWABLE ENERGY at Country-wide scale

Country Energy Demand is not fulfilled yet and this high demand of energy showing great potential of Renewable Energy Market. Good Policy-guide with Initiative Jump-start Projects of the Government can lead growing momentum of the Public and Private Sector toward Commercial achievement of PPP

Country Electric POWER MIX RATIO can be improved with large numbers of many small Renewable Energy application. BIOMASS can be seen as highest potential one to fulfill ENERGY for COOKING. >>

FUEL WOOD  Almost the whole country rely on firewood and charcoal  Main fuel for household cooking  Many SME businesses also use firewood & charcoal  Fuel wood source comes from Natural Forest  Very rare source get from Community woodlot and CF

ROLE OF COOKING STOVES three-stone primitive stove improved firewood-stove improved charcoal-stove improved sawdust or rice husk stove Liquid fuel (kerosene) stoves diesel stove electric stove gas stove various types of industrial stoves IMPROVED BIOFUEL ??????????

Public Education Activities on Renewable Energy and Efficient Stove Application

Fuel Efficient Stove Making Training

The stove is much better

Efficient Stove to Clean Stove

BIO-FUEL PRODUCTION PLANT/FUEL/STOVE

Commercial role of Biomass Energy Direct combustion of various Biomass resources to produce heat for COOKING is present Myanmar Country-wide practice. Production and Utilization of Bio-gas and Producer-gas at limited Technology & Fund occurred in Myanmar since decades ago

There are many self-reliance Village Electrifications by using small Diesel Generators, Pico/Mini Hydro, Biomass Gasifiers and Solar Photovoltaic Modules.

Rice husk fuel based Power generator Running commercially without systematic support HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE EXISTING IN MYANMAR ???

Biomass powered Gasifier Application

Strategic Encouragement with proper Support by the Government and International Development Agencies for Myanmar Public & Private Sector will achieve immediate and sustainable Progress. Particularly on Development of IPP/SPP/VSPP implementations by application of Renewable Energy DRE

Myanmar Power Development can be a Regional Model of Country with Green Growth by Commercializing the Renewable Energy
