Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, which accounted for approximately 74.8% of total electricity generation as of 2022. While the country has vast untapped renewable potential, particularly in hydropower and geothermal, its primary energy consumption remains reliant on oil and gas.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is emerging as a potential green hydrogen superpower, leveraging its massive hydropower and geothermal resources to target producing 2.3 million tonnes annually. Partnering with developers like Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), the nation aims to transition to carbon neutrality by 2050.

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