Abstract
Lack of energy, fire wood use, and deforestation problem are the main issues in Cambodia. In rural area, small biogasification plant project has been successfully conducted. However, it was not applied in urban area such as Phnom Penh city. This study is focused on the household cooking fuel in urban area and aims to find the alternative cooking fuel to wood in Phnom Penh city. With literature reviews, field survey and interviews, we reviewed small biogasification, central biogas plant, and solid refuse fuel as an applicable technology for supplying cooking fuel. We considered the procurement of raw materials, land use, odor problem, operation and maintenance difficulty, and health impact in using indoors. Consequently, solid refuse fuel from bagasse has the potential to supply alternative cooking fuel. Further researches on stakeholder interview and business potential are necessary. Through literature reviews and field survey, it was found there are many failure cases. It is the most necessary to reflect the regions characteristics and the local experts opinions for applying waste-to-energy technology successfully in developing countries.
