Set of steps could cut carbon in half: report
Cambodia could reduce its projected carbon emissions by 57 percent over the next 30 years without taking a financial hit if it implements low-carbon development policies in five key sectors, according to a new report in the journal Energy Policy. By fostering public transport and decreasing energy transmission loss in the electricity sector, while increasing the market share of solar power and promoting energy-efficient lighting and household appliances, Cambodia could reduce emissions without economic setbacks, the study concluded. “Energy demand in the residential and commercial sectors is expected to increase because of the population growth, increased incomes, the improvement of energy access, and the diffusion of electric appliances to advance living standards,” the study found.
