Laos to promote biofuel production
In southeast Asia the Lao Ministry of Energy and Mines has announced that the government will promote the production of biofuel in the wake of year-long fluctuations in imported fossil fuel prices.
Electricity Department Acting Director General Hatsady Sisoulath said the department was now drafting a national strategy on biofuel development, as an important reference for promoting biofuel production in Laos.
If the production of biofuels comes into reality in Laos, this form of energy will constitute about 30% of total fuel consumption by 2020 in an attempt to help the country reduce its fossil fuel imports, said Hatsady.
The draft is expected to be submitted to the government for approval at the end of 2009.
