Iceland

Iceland’s energy mix is among the most unique in the world, with 85% of its total primary energy sourced from domestic renewables. It is the world’s largest electricity producer per capita, generating nearly 100% of its electricity from renewable sources. Iceland’s electricity is produced almost entirely by two renewable sources: Hydropower (70-75%), and geothermal (25-30%). Geothermal energy covers 95% of the country’s heating needs. It also powers greenhouses for agriculture, fish farming, and snow-melting systems for sidewalks. Iceland aims to become carbon-neutral by 2040 and completely fossil-fuel-free by 2050.

Iceland is leveraging its 100% renewable geothermal and hydropower grid to become a major green hydrogen and e-fuel producer. , aiming for carbon neutrality and fossil fuel independence by 2050. Key projects focus on decarbonizing maritime and heavy transport, including a 300MW plant for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at Keflavík Airport.

Hydrogen is produced through electrolysis powered by abundant, low-cost geothermal and hydroelectric energy. The primary goal is creating e-fuels (green ammonia, methanol, methane) to replace imported fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors like shipping and aviation.

As of February 2026, no information was found indicating that Honduras is producing green hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.

Haiti

Haiti’s energy mix is characterized by a heavy reliance on traditional biomass for total energy consumption, while its electricity generation is dominated by imported fossil fuels. Biofuels and waste are the primary energy sources, mainly in the form of wood and charcoal used for cooking by over 90% of households. Imported oil and petroleum products for transportation and industry. Haiti’s electrical grid is fragile, with less than 50% of the population having access as of 2022.

As of 2026 there is no information indicating that Haiti is producing green hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.

Guyana

Guyana’s energy mix is currently dominated by fossil fuels, with over 90% of electricity generated from heavy fuel oil and diesel. While the country is a rapidly expanding global oil producer, it aims to shift towards renewable energy, targeting close to 100% renewable power by 2040 through projects like the 165-MW Amaila Falls hydropower plant and expanded solar mini-grids.

Guyana is exploring green hydrogen, leveraging its massive offshore oil and gas industry to potentially transition into cleaner energy. Through the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030, the country aims to use its vast natural resources, including solar and hydropower, to support sustainable development. The country is also exploring the potential of utilizing offshore gas for hydrogen production, which can be coupled with renewable sources for sustainable, long-term energy solutions.

As of 2026, there is no information indicating that Guyana is producing green hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.

Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau’s energy mix is characterized by an extreme reliance on traditional biomass for total energy consumption and imported fossil fuels for its limited electricity generation.

Oil Products (15%): Entirely imported as refined products (diesel, gasoline, kerosene); the country has no indigenous production or refineries. Electricity (1%): Represents a tiny fraction of the total fuel share in final consumption. The country increasingly relies on the OMVG interconnection to import hydroelectricity from neighboring Guinea and Senegal via the West African Power Pool (WAPP).

Guinea-Bissau is positioning itself for a green hydrogen future by adopting the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) Green Hydrogen Policy and Strategy Framework, which targets significant production capacities by 2030 and 2050. Pilot projects are emerging, such as plans to utilize solar power and electrolysis to serve the Bolama region. The broader ECOWAS strategy aims for 0.5 million tons of green hydrogen production by 2030, with a major scale-up planned by 2050.

As of 2026 there is no information indicating that Guinea-Bissau is producing green hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.

Guinea

Guinea’s energy mix is primarily driven by biomass (77%), followed by oil and hydropower. While traditional biomass dominates consumption, the country is rapidly shifting its electricity generation toward massive, untapped hydropower potential, aiming for over 80% renewable capacity by 2025.

Electricity is primarily generated from hydroelectricity. The country aims for over 80% hydropower in the capacity mix by 2025.

Guinea is currently developing its national green hydrogen strategy to assess production capacity, market feasibility, and export potential, aiming to diversify its energy mix and support sustainable economic growth.

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

Guatemala

Guatemala’s energy mix is characterized by a significant reliance on renewable sources, which accounted for approximately 65.6% to 72% of its electricity generation in 2023–2024.
