The Challenges
Energy is used in 3 different areas, cooking, electricity and transportation. However in Cambodia, clean energy in these areas are rarely adopted. Most of the energy use in these are hydropower and coal in electricity use, wood and LPG in cooking and fossil fuel for transportation.
How might we design an innovative project, policy, technology or startup solution that integrates clean energy to help create access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy services?
