Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday declared that the government will not rely on Bunker C (fuel oil) or diesel but instead, focus on incorporating biofuels as a way of transitioning to cleaner and renewable energy.
He made this disclosure yesterday during a year-end press briefing held at Freedom House, Georgetown, in his capacity as General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP).
“We have an energy mix that we have outlined already as part of our national development strategy which focuses on gas [not only] as a major transitional fuel but as baseload hydropower, solar etc.”
