Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic PUC 23 2.0 2.1 hydro 3% PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BELIZE ENERGY SECTOR imported electricity 5% Figure 6 oil 66% Energy Sources and Uses Primary Energy Sources, 2002 Belize acquires its energy from four main sources, specifically, imported fossil fuels, imported electricity, traditional biomass and renewable energy technologies (RET) used to generate electricity. From among these primary sources, the indigenous sources are traditional biomass & bagasse, hydro, solar and wind. Annex 2 provides a detailed breakdown and quantification of the primary sources. Traditional Biomass (Wood) biomass 26% solar & wind 0.003% In Belize, like in most other developing countries, fuel wood and other traditional biomass products are not part of the formal energy equation. Yet, it represents roughly 9% of the primary energy sources used in Belize54. There is evidence of significant household usage and also some use in the food and hospitality industry55. Primary research conducted for the National Energy Plan project revealed that firewood is the energy source for lime56 producers who use approximately 5,000 pieces of firewood per month. Firewood is also used quite extensively by restaurants for grill cooking and in the production of some mass-produced food items. Fossil Fuels Currently, Belize imports 100% of the fossil fuels used in its service. Although there is evidence of petroleum57 deposits and there is considerable activity involved in the search for oil in Belize58, so far oil has not been discovered in commercial quantities. Belize has several wells with “live oil shows”59 and a few barrels of oil have been harvested from some of them. Of the thirty exploratory wells with live shows, only three have yielded a “few barrels of oil”.60 See Annex 3 for more information. The main petroleum based products of importance for Belize are gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Gasoline is used mostly in the transport sub-sector61. To satisfy transport 54 This was extremely difficult to quantify as estimates varied considerably 55 particularly in lime manufacturing, food production and hospitality. 56 Lime is a key input in the production of tortillas, a popular food item in Belize and as fertilizer in the citrus industry 57 petroleum in this context means all natural organic substances composed of carbon and hydrogen; and include crude oil and natural gas, and all other mineral substances, products, by-products and derivatives that are found in conjunction with petroleum, courtesy Production Sharing Agreement 58 see Annex 3 for more information on oil exploration in Belize 59 Product Sharing Agreement of Belize, Geology and Petroleum Department, Ministry of Natural Resources, the Environment, Commerce and Industry 60 ibid, exploratory well table 61 although there is evidence of the substitution of butane for gas and diesel, mostly in the public transportation sub- sectorPDF Image | Energy for Sustainable Development Toward a National Energy Strategy for Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic
