3.3 Net GHG emissions
In 2022, GHG emissions have increased mainly due to a higher fuel consumption in
manufacturing and construction, transport, residential and commercial activities from the
Energy sector. Moreover, a slight decrease was observed in GHG removals due to an increase
in forest fires and a decrease in crop land. The overall net GHG emissions, after accounting
for the removal of Carbon Dioxide by Forestry and Other Land Use sector, stood at around
5,308.0 Gg CO2-eq in 2022, up by 3.3% from 5,136.2 Gg CO2-eq in 2021 (Table 6).
3.4 Energy and Greenhouse gas (GHG)
3.4.1 Energy sector
Though vital for economic development and households, the production and consumption of
energy release greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is the main component of greenhouse gases.
3.4.2 Primary energy requirement
Total primary energy requirement (total primary energy requirement = local production +
imports of primary energy - re-exports of primary energy – international bunkers – stock
changes) was 1,485.0 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) in 2022, 8.6% higher than in
2021 (1,367.1 ktoe) - (Table 5).
In 2022, some 10.0% (149 ktoe) was met from locally renewable energy sources (hydro, wind,
landfill gas, photovoltaic, bagasse, fuelwood, and charcoal), while 89.9% (1,336 ktoe) were
from imported fossil fuels (petroleum products and coal).
In 2022, there was a decrease of 11.5 % in energy supply from local renewable sources. Energy
sources from bagasse decreased by 15.1% from 139 ktoe in 2021 to 118 ktoe in 2022, landfill
gas decreased by 6.3% from 1.6 ktoe to 1.5 ktoe , hydro increased by 19.6% from 9.2 ktoe to
11.0 ktoe, , photovoltaic increased by 2.3% from 13.0 to 13.3 ktoe while wind and fuelwood
remained at 1.3 ktoe and 4.2 ktoe respectively, same level as in 2021.
