How much energy does Myanmar have?

Myanmar’s proven energy reserves in 2017 comprised of 94 million barrels of oil, 4.552 trillion cubic feet of gas, and over 500 million metric tons of coal. The country is a net exporter of energy, exporting substantial amounts of natural gas and coal to neighbouring countries. However, it imports around 90% of its total oil requirements. 1.2.

How will LCET impact Myanmar's energy supply?

If Myanmar seeks an afordable energy supply, it will need to shift to more coal, hydropower, and biomass, with coal playing a key role in the future. In the LCET scenario, all sectors are expected to save energy as a result of the improving energy eficiency and the introduction of clean technologies.

Is biomass a primary energy source in Myanmar?

Biomass is an important energy source in Myanmar. In 2017, biomass constituted 48% of total primary energy supply, considerably higher than oil (29%), natural gas (16%), and hydropower (5%) (Figure 2.30). Most biomass is consumed at a household level, and ordinary households mostly use biomass as an energy source (Figure 2.31).

What fuels are used to generate electricity in Myanmar?

Hydro and natural gas dominated electricity generation in Myanmar. Other fuels such as oil and coal also contributed to the country’s generation mix but was only less than 13% in total in 1990. The government’s plan is to increase further the share of natural gas, coal, hydro, and other renewables in the total generation mix and decrease oil share.

What will Myanmar's energy supply look like in 2040?

In the APS, Myanmar’s primary energy supply is projected to increase at a slightly lower rate than the BAU scenario’s at 2.1% per year, from 19.85 Mtoe in 2015 to 33.15 Mtoe in 2040. Hydro will be the fastest growing at 4.3% per year, followed by oil at 3.7% per year in 2015–2040.

How much natural gas is used to generate electricity in Myanmar?

In Myanmar, demand for natural gas for power generation has been rapidly rising as electricity demand increases. As a result, 83% of natural gas consumed in 2017 was used to generate electricity (Figure 2.1).
