【 摘 要 】

Many countries support and promote new technologies that make use of other renewable resources particularly in Lao PDR. Research on energy crops for biofuel production is in its initial step in Lao PDR, and has high potential for biofuels production from the byproduct of agricultural production, such as crop oils including Jatropha, palm oil, soybean and others that can be utilization as feedstock for biofuel production in Laos. The promotion of biodiesel and bio-ethanol production in Lao PDR is target driven rather than based on the overall land area suitable for agriculture. Plantations of agricultural crops suitable for biodiesel and bio-ethanol production may displace traditional crops and grazing areas and disrupt farm livelihoods. Lao government hoping a target of the total transportation energy consumption from biofuel will be achieved in the same period. Therefore, to completely achieve of the Lao government's goals and targets, Lao government has play important role to push up increasing of promotion for production and using of renewable energy. This paper is to study focus on status and risk of biofuels development and the feedstock potential for biofuels production in Lao PDR as well.
