Earlier Report Observations
The wood fuel market in Djibouti grew steadily from 395.1 thousand m³ in 2018 to 419.5 thousand m³ in 2021. This increase was driven by the country's heavy reliance on biomass for domestic and industrial energy, as Djibouti lacks indigenous fossil fuel sources. Government policy, notably the Vision 2035 strategy aiming for a fully renewable energy mix, further encouraged the use of wood fuel as a clean energy source during this period.
Market volume stabilized at 420.2 thousand m³ in 2022 amid a global energy crisis that impacted fuel prices and supply chains. Consumption then rose to 425.4 thousand m³ in 2023, coinciding with the inauguration of the country's first wind farm and advanced plans for a dedicated biomass power plant, reinforcing the role of wood-based fuels within the national energy transition.
