Lebanon’s energy mix is characterized by an extreme reliance on imported fossil fuels, which account for approximately 83% to 95% of its total primary energy supply. The country has faced a chronic energy crisis since 2019, leading to a “solar boom” where decentralized renewable installations have begun to rapidly displace failing state-provided thermal power. The overall energy supply is dominated by oil products, as the country lacks significant domestic fossil fuel production and a stable natural gas supply.

Lebanon is exploring green hydrogen as a sustainable energy solution to combat its ongoing energy crisis, leveraging high solar potential (1500–1900 kWh/kWp) and growing decentralized solar capacity (nearly 1.1 GWp). Strategic efforts focus on developing a hydrogen strategy, enhancing infrastructure, and fostering innovation through projects like the “Green Hydrogen Camp”.

As of 2026 there is no information indicating that Lebanon is producing green hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater.
