Plugging into green growth: Towards e-mobility and renewable energy integration in Lao PDR

A study of how the barriers to, and enablers for, e-mobility and renewable energy integration iare viewed by stakeholders

Abstract

The majority of transport decarbonisation pathways rely on the parallel electrification of the majority of modes of surface transport and significant expansion in renewable electricity generation. Whilst the integration of these two previously siloed sectors - electricity and transport - can benefit the low-carbon transition, there are barriers presenting their realisation. These issues are highly geographically contextual, and little research has been conducted in Lao PDR and the wider Southeast Asia region. To fill this research gap, this paper presents a study of how the barriers to, and enablers for, e-mobility and renewable energy integration in Lao PDR and the wider Southeast Asian region are viewed by different groups of stakeholders.
