About this project

Sri Lanka’s transport sector is the largest consumer of imported petroleum fuels, accounting for 78.4% of national fuel consumption in 2021. It also contributes significantly to green house gas emissions (GHG) responsible for 21% of the country’s total GHG emissions, with road transport alone accounting for three-quarters of transport-related emissions and 15% of total CO2 emissions.In 2023, Sri Lanka faced an unprecedented economic crisis, which led to severe energy security concerns.
