Cuba is experiencing a severe, multi-decade energy crisis in 2026. The system relies over 95% on increasingly scarce fossil fuels, with a small but growing shift toward solar and renewable energy. In response to these shortages, the government has embarked on an ambitious plan to transition to renewable energy, including … Continue reading →

Croatia is transforming its energy sector by diversifying away from fossil fuels, leveraging significant renewable potential (hydro, wind, solar), and strengthening energy security through LNG infrastructure. The country targets 42.5% renewable energy in gross final consumption by 2030, supported by new investments in solar, geothermal, and plans for a 30% … Continue reading →

Côte d’Ivoire’s energy mix is dominated by natural gas, which accounts for approximately 69% of electricity generation, with hydropower contributing roughly 23-30% as of 2023. The country has the third-largest electricity system in West Africa, with a total installed capacity heavily reliant on thermal power stations. Key goals include increasing … Continue reading →

Costa Rica has emerged as a global leader in renewable energy, achieving near-100% renewable electricity generation primarily through a mix of hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, and solar power. Solar energy, though currently contributing less than 1% to the national grid, offers a viable solution due to the country’s tropical location and … Continue reading →

The Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) relies on oil and gas for most exports and economic output, with biomass as a primary domestic source. Electrification rates are roughly 48% overall, with a push toward expanding hydroelectric and natural gas capacity. Only about 48.3% of the population has access to electricity, … Continue reading →

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has immense, largely untapped energy potential—estimated at 100,000 MW of hydroelectric power—but suffers from severe energy poverty, with only 19–21% of its population having access to electricity. The energy mix is dominated by biomass (92%) and hydropower (96% of electricity), with major, often … Continue reading →

Comoros relies heavily on imported fossil fuels (mostly heavy fuel oil and diesel) for electricity generation, which accounts for over 90% of its power supply.  The nation has limited, growing, but largely untapped renewable energy potential, including solar, hydropower, and ocean thermal energy. Only about 8% of the population has … Continue reading →

Colombia’s hydro-based electricity accounts for 55-80% of supply; however, it is heavily reliant on fossil fuels for transport and industry, with oil accounting for 42%. The hydro power makes the grid vulnerable to El Niño droughts. Colombia is also positioning itself as a leader in Latin American green hydrogen, targeting … Continue reading →

China’s main source of energy is (still) coal, which provides over 60% of power generation. However, it is simultaneously the world leader in renewable energy installation. China has installed more solar and wind capacity than the rest of the world combined. In 2024, 356 gigawatts (GW) of non-hydro renewable capacity … Continue reading →

Chad is a landlocked country in Africa; therefore, it cannot produce green hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater. As of 2026, white hydrogen deposits have not been found in Chad.
