The Government should invest in renewable energy following global
developments.
Types of Renewable energy to be researched in Timor‐Leste:
‐ Electricity from Solar or Wind
‐ TESLA (storage)
‐ Biogas (creation) or biofuels
‐ Firewood plantations for cooking stoves using small amounts of wood

Consumer concerns should be addressed (e.g. Fear of cooking with


gas)
‐ Courses on safe use of gas can be taught in schools as part of the
school feeding program
‐ Community Learning Centres could teach courses for householders
‐ Cuisine will be taught as part of primary school gardens program in
year 4

Educational opportunities to promote understanding of and use of


renewable energy:
‐ Module on generation solar energy using solar panels could be taught
in 3rd cycle of Basic Education,
‐ Innovation could be done in the Secondary school system, using
existing subjects from both technical vocational H.S & General H.S
‐ Educational competitions could be held for design work on cooking
stoves, solar panel applications and wind energy generation.
‐ Teacher training needed.
