Earlier Report Observations

The wood fuel market in Timor-Leste contracted steadily from 85 thousand m³ in 2018 to 67.6 thousand m³ in 2023, a decline of approximately 20%. Annual production and market volume fell each year, reflecting a sustained reduction in consumption.

This downturn coincided with increased reliability and regulation of liquid fuels. In 2019, authorities maintained stable fuel prices aligned with international markets. A major government procurement for electricity-generation fuel was secured in 2020, ensuring long-term supply. Continued oversight of liquid fuel distribution in 2022 and daily price monitoring in 2023 further supported alternative energy sources, diminishing reliance on wood fuel.
