Trinidad and Tobago’s energy mix is almost entirely dominated by natural gas, which accounted for approximately 92.6% to 93.2% of the total energy supply in 2021-2023. Electricity generation relies almost exclusively on natural gas. The country is the Caribbean’s largest oil and gas producer, with minimal renewable energy integration.

Trinidad and Tobago is actively transitioning its petrochemical-heavy economy toward green hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions and maintain its status as a regional energy leader. The country is pursuing a 2022 Green Hydrogen roadmap, utilizing its existing industrial base in Point Lisas and developing potential, with pilot projects already underway, aiming to produce green ammonia and methanol.

The government has launched its first green hydrogen pilot project, supported by international partnerships, to demonstrate viability. The existing Point Lisas Industrial Estate provides a unique, ready-made infrastructure for producing, using, and exporting green hydrogen and its derivatives.

A Green Hydrogen Centre of Excellence is being established in partnership with Niterra Co., Ltd. and Kenesjay Green Limited to develop new, highly efficient, ceramic-based electrolyzer technology.
