Total Energy Consumption

Per capita energy consumption is 0.56 toe, including 790 kWh of electricity (2022). These levels are two times lower than the ASEAN average (2022 levels).

Total energy consumption has been increasing by 4%/year since 2020 to 64.5 Mtoe in 2022, after a drop by 5.5% in 2020. Previously it had been increasing by 4.5%/year since 2009, reaching a 61 Mtoe peak in 2019.

Crude Oil Production

Oil production is low and decreasing (0.39 Mt in 2022) and covers 7% of oil demand.

Crude oil imports jumped by almost 50% in 2022 to 5.9 Mt after a rapid decrease since 2018 with the closure of the Tabangao refinery (-23%/year). Prior to 2018, they increased rapidly between 2013 and 2018 (around 9%/year, up to 11.5 Mt).

The refining capacity has been reduced to 180 kb/d with only the Limay refinery complex left after Shell permanently closed its 110 kb/d Tabangao site in 2020.

Renewable in % Electricity Production

The Renewable energy roadmap 2020-2040 aims to reach 35% of renewables in the power mix by 2030, and 50% by 2040 under a Clean Energy Scenario (CES) (35% in a Reference Scenario (REF)). This share was 23% in 2022. To achieve this target, the country will need PHP 25.3bn (US$490m) of green investments for pre-developments under the CES scenario and PHP 17.9bn (US$347m) under the REF scenario.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In its updated NDC (2021), the country aims to reduce emissions by around 75% in 2030, relative to a BAU scenario (of which 2.7% unconditional and 72.3% conditional). The mitigation contribution is conditioned by the extent of financial resources, including technology development and transfer, and capacity building, that will be made available to the country. In its first NDC (2015), the objective was slightly lower (70% reduction).
