Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-coniferous wood fuel in Timor-Leste contracted consistently between 2018 and 2023, with annual volume falling from 84 989 m³ to 67 524 m³. This represented a steady decline of approximately 4–5% each year, totaling a reduction of about 20% over the six-year period.

The downward trend aligned with shifts in the broader energy landscape. In 2019, stable fossil fuel prices maintained by the National Petroleum and Minerals Authority likely reduced the cost advantage of wood fuel, diminishing its appeal. By 2023, the Petroleum Fund's growth to $18.2 billion signaled strengthened national finances and strategic energy investments, which may have accelerated a transition toward more modern energy sources and away from traditional biomass.

The persistent annual decline points to a structural change in energy consumption, possibly driven by economic development, improved energy access, or policy focus. The continuous reduction underscores a diminishing role for non-coniferous wood fuel in the country's energy mix during this period.
