Challenges for CO2 mitigation in the Lebanese electric-power sector

摘要: Abstract Similar to other developing countries the electricity sector in Lebanon is monopolized by a vertically integrated public utility, Electricite Du Liban (EDL). EDL's supply characterized frequent and lengthy power cuts that have given rise an alternative, informal, unregulated backup sector, which serves satisfy demand during extended blackout periods. This paper examines evolvement of its related CO 2 emissions via use scenario analysis. The economic energy policy implications each are discussed number options presented ensure growth contained. Results clearly indicate plays critical role success any greenhouse gas mitigation commitment undertaken Lebanon. A clear strategy on dealing with this needs be devised simultaneously if not prior climate change at national level.
