Thailand
Thailand’s energy mix is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, particularly natural gas, which powers more than half of the country’s electricity. As of 2024, fossil fuels accounted for approximately 85% of Thailand’s electricity generation. Thailand is actively developing its green hydrogen sector to achieve net-zero goals by 2050, focusing on … Continue reading
Tanzania
Tanzania’s energy mix is dominated by biomass (approx. 76% of total primary energy) for cooking and heating, while electricity generation relies heavily on natural gas (approx. 48–65%) and hydropower (approx. 31–36%). The country faces power shortages due to drought-induced low water levels, prompting a shift toward gas, with emerging investments … Continue reading
Tajikistan
Tajikistan’s energy mix is dominated by hydropower, which produces over 90-94% of the country’s electricity, making it one of the world’s cleanest electricity generators. The remaining electricity is generated from coal (roughly 4-7%) and natural gas. While renewable-heavy, the system faces seasonal shortages in winter, causing increased reliance on coal-fired … Continue reading
Syria
Syria’s energy mix is heavily dominated by fossil fuels, with over 95% of electricity generated from oil and natural gas as of 2022. The sector, severely impacted by conflict, relies on declining domestic production and imports, with limited, yet growing, contributions from hydropower and solar power. Syria is gradually exploring … Continue reading
Switzerland
Switzerland’s electricity generation is over 98% low-carbon, primarily driven by hydropower (approx. 60–62%) and nuclear power (approx. 29%). While the electricity sector is nearly fossil-free, the overall energy mix still relies heavily on oil products and natural gas for heating and transport. The country is transitioning to renewables, with solar … Continue reading
Sweden
Sweden’s electricity production is nearly 99% low-carbon, relying primarily on a mix of hydroelectric (approx. 38-40%) and nuclear (29%) power as of 2024-2025. Wind power is the fastest-growing source, contributing over 20-25% to the grid. The country aims for a 100% renewable or fossil-free electricity system by 2040, featuring high … Continue reading
Suriname
Suriname’s electricity sector is transitioning, with a 2023 mix of roughly 38–42% hydropower and 53–61% fossil fuels (heavy fuel oil), according to IEA and Low-Carbon Power. The nation aims to increase its renewable share to over 35% by 2030, supported by new Electric Sector Plan 2025–2044 initiatives like solar mini-grids. … Continue reading
Sudan
Sudan’s energy mix is heavily reliant on traditional biomass for primary energy and a combination of hydropower and thermal (oil) power for electricity, with roughly 43-62% coming from renewables. Due to ongoing conflict, oil production has been disrupted, and only about 62% of the population has electricity access. Sudan holds … Continue reading
South Sudan
South Sudan’s energy mix is dominated by fossil fuels, with nearly all electricity generated from imported diesel, accounting for over 97% of domestic energy production as of 2023. The country has one of the world’s lowest electrification rates, with only about 8% of the population having electricity access in 2021. … Continue reading
