Reducing the share of unsustainably produced wood energy while meeting the national energy demand. The DRC has considerable and diverse energy potential, but it is largely underutilized, resulting in an energy deficit that hampers the country's development.
In the energy sector, the DRC also aims to reduce the share of unsustainably produced wood energy while meeting the national energy demand. Despite its considerable and diverse energy potential, which is largely underutilized, the country suffers from an energy deficit that hampers its development.
Energy Transition in the DRC: Challenges and Potential
Currently, nearly 95% of the national energy supply depends on wood energy, mainly used for cooking food and in the productive sector.
However, this dependence is one of the main direct causes of deforestation in the DRC, particularly due to supplying urban centers. Thus, transitioning to sustainable and renewable energy sources is a crucial issue for forest preservation and the country's sustainable development.
