        Cambodia

        Cambodia’s electrification rate is the second-lowest among South East Asian countries. Cambodia plans to increase its power generation capacity by building hydropower and coal-fired plants by 2025, which can contribute to improve self-sufficiency of power supply.

        Low-Emissions Fuels

        Develop certification and standards to ensure that low-emissions fuels are sustainable
        The development of standards and certification schemes ensuring a sustainable supply chain will be critical for scaling up the production of both biofuels and hydrogen, while avoiding potentially harmful environmental, economic and social impacts. The development of international markets and trade in these fuels will also depend on internationally agreed methods and certification processes to guarantee the sustainability of traded fuels. 
        Create support programmes for the use of low-emissions fuels
        With the use of low-emissions fuels still in most cases being more expensive than unabated fossil…

        Financing and market mechanisms are needed to accelerate the clean energy transition. Governments can enact policy interventions to improve access to financing and de-risk clean energy investment to enhance the attractiveness of buildings sector investment. They can also broaden the availability of market-based instruments that reduce barriers to the transition, for example via means-tested subsidies for household to retrofits or weatherisation, or installation of lower-carbon and more efficient appliances and equipment.  Public competitions to stimulate innovation, such as the Buildings Upgrade Prize developed by the US Department of Energy Building Technologies Office…
