Pacific Energy Planning

Reliance on Imported Fossil Fuels

The PICTs have an 82% fossil fuel-based energy supply. Regionally, these fossil fuels are notably used across the mobility (land, maritime, and aviation) sector, and electricity generation sector, altogether accounting for at least 23 million barrels of diesel equivalent fossil fuels. Corresponding to at least 10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, at a cost of US $2.1 billion per annum, around 4-5% of the combined PICT’s GDP (with countries like Kiribati, Micronesia and New Caledonia having a share between 7 – 10% of the GDP).
