1. The dominant fossil fuel is oil, which is responsible for around 55% of total energy consumption in Thailand. 2. Fossil fuels in Thailand are used mostly for transport (35% of all oil, including imported) and industry (45% of all coal). Although in general the use for transport is much higher - 3. Thailand has vast untapped hydropower potential. In addition, very little is being done to use solar energy, even though the climate would allow to use it as a key source of electricity for a couple months during the year. Finally, energy efficiency of transport and industry, the two main users of energy, is very low. In particular, investment in green transport (especially in Bangkok metro area) could rapidly decrease the demand for oil.
