N2  - 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
