Iran’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, which account for over 98% of its total primary energy supply and more than 90% of its electricity generation. As of early 2025, natural gas remains the cornerstone of the country’s energy system, followed by oil, while renewable and nuclear sources play marginal roles despite significant development targets.

Iran is exploring green hydrogen production, utilizing its high solar and wind energy potential to transition from traditional, emission-intensive methods toward sustainable energy. While currently relying on fossil fuels, research suggests that regions like Bandas Abbas, Shiraz, and Kerman could support significant green hydrogen generation through electrolysis.

Although Iran has a significant proven potential to produce green hydrogen, as of 2026 there is no indication that it is actually doing so.

Indonesia

Indonesia’s energy landscape is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, which account for approximately 85% to 86% of its primary energy supply. While the government has set ambitious decarbonization goals, the country remains the world’s largest exporter of thermal coal and significantly relies on it for domestic power generation.

Under the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), Indonesia aims for 44% renewable power generation by 2030. The official target for achieving net-zero emissions is 2060 or sooner.

Launched in June 2025, Indonesia’s National Roadmap for Hydrogen and Ammonia outlines a strategic, phased approach to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060, targeting 4.2 million tons of annual hydrogen consumption for power generation. It focuses on developing a robust green hydrogen ecosystem, leveraging renewable energy resources to potentially create 300,000 jobs and $70 billion in revenue.

Although Indonesia has made plans to produce green hydrogen, as of 2026 there is no information indicating that it is presently doing so.

India

As of late 2025, India has achieved a major milestone by reaching 51.5% non-fossil fuel installed capacity in its electricity mix, surpassing its 2030 target five years early. While coal remains the largest single source of power generation, the country is undergoing a rapid transition led by solar and wind energy. While electricity capacity is shifting toward renewables, India’s total primary energy consumption (which includes transport, industry, and cooking) still relies heavily on fossil fuels. Coal (46%) dominates the energy system, particularly for heavy industry and baseload power. Oil (25%), primarily used for transportation; India remains a major importer, with nearly 88% of its oil supplied from abroad. The government is now working toward a target of 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.

India is accelerating its transition to a green hydrogen economy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, aiming for 5 million metric tons of annual production by 2030. Supported by the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the country is focusing on industrial hubs, shipping, and long-haul mobility, with major projects underway in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh.

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.

Hungary

Hungary is a landlocked country; therefore, it cannot produce green hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.

Honduras

Honduras maintains a diversified energy mix, with approximately 60% of its electricity generated from low-carbon renewable sources as of 2023. The country has transitioned significantly from a 70% reliance on fossil fuels in 2012 to becoming a regional leader in solar energy.

When considering total energy supply (including transportation and residential heating & cooking), the mix changes significantly. Oil remains the dominant overall energy source (~55-59%) due to transportation needs. The Honduran government has established ambitious targets for its energy future. The renewable target is to reach 80% renewable electricity generation by 2038, and to achieve universal access to electricity for all Hondurans by 2030.
