ABSTRACT As energy issues are at the top of the national policy agenda, policy-makers increasingly need better decision-supporting processes to assist them in fostering a sustainable energy policy. This article aims at supporting the development of energy policy by evaluating the potential, limits and efficiency of energy in Cameroon. The method used is based on the analysis of different forms of energy in Cameroon, through the past trend of energy production and consumption to the current status of Cameroon energetic system. Total energy production and consumption capacity in the country is up to 8.85 Mega tons of oil equivalents (Mtoe) and 5747 kilo tons of oil equivalents (ktoe) respectively. Energy consumption in Cameroon is highly dominated by biomass, followed by petroleum products and electricity; nevertheless, renewable energy is still marginal. Our opinion would be to develop new strategies to shift the energy situation from its present condition to the desired status.

摘要由于能源问题是国家政策议程的重中之重，决策者越来越需要更好的决策支持程序来协助他们制定可持续的能源政策。本文旨在通过评估喀麦隆的能源潜力，局限性和效率来支持能源政策的发展。所采用的方法是基于对喀麦隆不同形式能源的分析，从过去的能源生产和消费趋势到喀麦隆高能系统的现状。该国的能源总生产和消费能力分别高达8.85兆吨油当量（Mtoe）和5747吨油当量（ktoe）。喀麦隆的能源消耗主要由生物质决定，其次是石油产品和电力。但是，可再生能源仍然很少。我们的意见是制定新的策略，以将能源状况从目前的状况转变为理想的状况。
