Cambodia

Main findings

Mitigation potential
2050 projections of power and industrial high temperature heating sectors:

• Projected no-action emissions based on current energy mix: 24.8 MtCO2e /year.+

• Using only local measures, Cambodia is able to reach zero emissions in the modelled sectors, requiring an average abatement cost just over $USD 59.70/tCO2e.

• Most important needle mover is onshore wind, requiring ammonia storage and electric high temperature heaters to completely replace fossil generation and reach zero emissions in the modelled sectors.

• Average cost of achieving zero emissions in collaborative scenarios modelled here range from USD 11.40 - USD 40.50/tCO2e.

+Emissions are the annualised value for a 30-year project starting in 2050 (i.e., divided by 30 from the total project emissions)
