Abstract
- Land transport is the major mode of transportation in Laos where it has consumed about 96% of total energy consumed in the transport sector. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the policy packages, which includes counter measures (CM) relevant to the transport sector, namely 1) fuel switching, 2) advanced technology and 3) modal shift to reduce energy consumption and CO 2 emission during 2010-2050. In this study, the Long-rang Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model was applied to forecast sector-wise transport demand. Results show that the energy consumption in the transport sector will be increased from 548 ktoe in 2010 to 2,823 ktoe in 2050 while CO 2 emission will be increased from 1,656 kt-CO 2 in 2010 to 8,511 kt-CO 2 in 2050. However, implementation of four mitigation actions will reduce energy consumption by 9.3% and CO 2 emission by 20% when compared with the BAU scenario.
