Myanmar
IntroductionMyanmar is located on mainland
South East Asia comprising a land area of 676,577 square kilometers.
Population of about 60 million in 2012 and 70% of total population living in rural area.
National races: 8 main ethnic groups and over 130 national races
Myanmar Environment Policy
“The objective of Myanmar’s environment policy is….integration of environmental considerations into the development process to enhance the quality of the life of all citizens….Environmental protection should always be the primary objective in seeking development”(1994, NCEA)
To maintain the status of energy independence
To promote wider use of new and renewable sources of energy
To promote energy efficiency and conservation
To promote use of alternative fuels in household
THE ENERGY POLICY
ASEAN Policy is for all ASEAN member countries of utilize 10 % of it’s energy requirements from “ New and Renewable Energy “ sources by 2015.

Energy Sector Policy Framework and Strategy
• Increase electric power and other form of energy supply by developing oil and gas, hydro, renewable energy, etc
• Improve energy efficiency particularly in the industrial sector
• Expand private sector partnership in energy development
• Need for Renewable Energy Development
• Community–based Renewable Energy Resources
• Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement and Conservation
• Market- Based Policies for Private Sector Financing in Energy Sector
• Financing Sources of Energy Sector Development
• Use Natural Gas in the place of petrol and diesel
Environmental Conservation Committee - ECC at National Level has been reformed on 10 March 2014.

Electricity Generation in Myanmar
As shown in this slide, the bulk of electricity being generated in Myanmar is through HYDRO power at 64.7%, followed by natural gas at 20.3%. Electricity generation by using coal and diesel is too minimal 4.7 and 2.2% respectively.

BIOMASS ENERGY
Natural forest covers of Myanmar has around 47% of the total land area. (2010, FRA). Out of which 30.5 percent are reserved forests and 69.5 percent are unreserved ones. Wood-fuel plays vital role for cooking and cottage industries in both urban and rural areas.To substitute the fuelwood utilization, DZGD under MOECAF has been distributed:
- 15,000 tons of fuel briquette(used of rice husk) in 2012-2013.
- 478,000 efficient stoves in 2012-2013 Particular Organization

As an agriculture-based economy, Myanmar has many cows. A medium-sized animal produces 10 kg of dung per day - enough to produce 0.5 m3 of biogas through anaerobic digester/ bio-gasification. There are two types of biogas plant: plants with a movable gasholder; and plants with built-in, fixed dome gasholder.The Government had launched a program to propagate the biogas utilization since 1980 and in 1983 Biogas Steering Committee have been formed.Typically a village with 100 cows can generate 50 m3 fixed dome type biogas plant.183 biogas digester have been constructed in all States and Regions for electrification.

HYDROPOWER
Electricity generation through hydro power stands at the top with the highest percentage of 64.7%, follow by natural gas at 20.3%, coal and diesel is at 4.7 and 2.2 respectively.
Myanmar has a hydropower potential of 108,000 MW but up to 2010 only 1500 MW is utilized from that renewable source and the rest is from natural gas and others with total installed electricity capacity of 3344 MW. This is mostly used for urban areas and industrial zones.

Solar Energy Potential of MyanmarBased on the yearly solar radiation map, solar energy potential of
Myanmar was investigated. Geographical distribution of solar radiation was analyzed and the result is shown in Fig. It was found that 36% of the total area of the country receives annual solar radiation in the range of 18-19 MJ/m2-day, while there are only a few percents of the area with less solar radiation.
(< 15MJ/m2-day). This indicates that most parts of Myanmar receive relatively high solar radiation.

Challenges
• Lack of Climate Change Policy, Framework• Weakness of coordination mechanism among the lined
Ministries due to limited capacity and institutional structure.
• Limited knowledge, research and resources to support investment in renewable energy sector
• Lack of understanding and awareness on renewable energy strategy and limited practices and operations of renewable energy sectors
• Lack of innovative renewable energy technology• Financial insufficiency
