Energy and The Environment in Nepal*

R.P. Sharma and Arun D. Adhikary

Energy & Environment, 1991, vol. 2, issue 4, 358-367

Abstract: Nepal has a large potential for hydroelectric energy but its development is capital intensive and difficult. Present energy use relies overwhelmingly on traditional biofuels and over-exploitation of biomass resources is causing considerable environmental damage. Energy planning in Nepal aims at increasing supplies while lowering environmental impacts through development of alternative sources of energy, fuel switching, and more attention to emissions control.
