Thesis ; no. ET-87-12 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering, School of Environment, Resources and Development Thesis (M.Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1987 The Philippine transport system was analyzed and the trend of energy consumption of the transport sector were studied. It was found out that diesel consumption increased faster than gasoline consumption especially in the public passenger transport and freight transport. Using an accounting model based on MEDEE -S developed by Chateau and Lapillonne, the energy demand of the sector in the year 2005 was forecasted. Based on the assumptions given in the projection, most of the public passenger transport and 100% of the freight transport by trucks will be diesel powered, while passenger cars will continue to be gasoline dominated . By considering that the price of oil will increase in the future leading to the competitiveness of some biomass- based fuels, the contribution of biomass, especially those that are abundant in the country, were found to be substantial. Coconut oil- diesel blend and alcohol - gasoline blend were the two biomass fuels identified to have greater role in the future energy demand of the transport sector. But gasoline substitution with alcogas will exacerbate the problem of refinery imbalance so that coconut oil - diesel blend will eventually have a bigger role to play in the future.
