Belarus relies on imported natural gas from Russia for approximately 65% of generation. However, as of 2026, the Astravets Nuclear Power Plant contributes over 36% of electricity. As a landlocked country, Belarus cannot produce hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater.

Hydropower generates over 60% of Austria’s electricity. Solar photovoltaics is growing, however fossil fuels still contribute approximately 12% to the energy mix, primarily natural gas. Almost two-thirds of total energy consumed is imported, particularly oil and natural gas. Its energy policy, supported by Renewable Energy Expansion Act, is designed to achieve climate neutrality by 2040, and a 100% renewable electricity supply by 2030. As a landlocked country, Austria cannot directly produce hydrogen by electrolysis of seawater.

The Barbados National Energy Policy 2019-2030 is targeting 100% renewable energy, including solar, battery storage, and hydrogen, away from heavy fossil fuels. The Ministry of Energy and Business Development oversees the transition.

Fossil fuels supply as much as 99% of Bangladesh’s energy. For that reason, in 2023 it enacted an Integrated Energy and Power Master Plan. However, production of green hydrogen is not contemplated.

Bahrain’s economy has diversified. Oil and gas account for approximately 20% of GDP. In addition, it has a national renewable energy target of five percent for 2025, increasing to 10% by 2035. No mention of hydrogen programs.

The Bahamas is moving from nearly 100% reliance on imported fossil fuels toward renewable energy. The government’s New Energy Era plan aims for 30% renewable energy by 2030, primarily solar. Production of hydrogen is not mentioned.

Oil and natural gas account for roughly 90% of export revenues, mostly to Europe. While the economy is heavily dependent on these industries, efforts are underway to diversify into renewable energy.

Australia is a global leader in green hydrogen production. In 2024 it released its National Hydrogen Strategy, which seeks to produce green hydrogen to decarbonize various industries. It’s also enacted various complementary incentives, including the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive and the Hydrogen Headstart Program. Australia has over 100 hydrogen projects in development, with 31 of them either operational or under construction. The ENEOS project will start producing green hydrogen in 2026, with a portion to be shipped to Japan.

White hydrogen: Multiple, extensive exploration efforts are currently targeting natural hydrogen deposits.

Armenia is a landlocked country in the Caucasus Mountains. As such, it cannot produce hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater.

Chile’s Interministerial Council of Green Hydrogen approved the document that updates its National Strategy 2026-2030 which will be available for public comments. The final version will be ready at the end of March 2026. This preliminary document in Spanish has not yet been translated to English.
