Hydro is a prevalent energy source in Sri Lanka, with over 1,700 MW of installed capacity producing over 4.5 TWh annually. Between 2018 and 2037, Sri Lanka plans to add more than 1,000 MW of hydro capacity, in a bid to meet its goals of 70% renewable energy production by 2030 and net carbon zero by 2050.
Japan currently has around 5 GW of installed biomass capacity, and the government’s 6th Strategic Energy Plan outlines a target of 8 GW by 2030. Achieving this target would mean covering 5% of the country’s anticipated demand for energy in 2030. According to Switwzerland Global Enterprise, the Japanese biomass market is currently expected to grow by over 5% annually until 2025 and just under 4% annually in the ten years following.
By the end of 2021, renewable energy represented 25% of Mexico’s energy generation, including 6% of wind. However, despite boasting significant wind power potential according to the US Department of Energy, which estimates Mexico’s potential at 3,670 GW, Mexico only possesses 8.3 GW of installed capacity.
As of 2023, Turkey has 11 GW of installed wind power capacity. This represents just over a third of the country’s goal to have 30 GW of installed capacity by 2035. In Turkey, wind represents an attractive alternative to fossil fuels not just because of its environmental benefits: it is expected that new wind power will be cheaper than all existing coal plants by 2027.
In Europe, the Renewable Energy Directive II includes sustainably produced biomass to count towards renewable energy targets. Biomass has been and continues to be the main source of renewable energy in Europe, representing close to 60%.
There are around 70 hydroplants in the Philippines, totalling an installed capacity of over 3,700 MW. Despite limited capacity growth over the past few years, hydropower still represents just under 20% of installed capacity.
Biomass is the source of more than two thirds of the renewable energy in Denmark, and accounts for a greater share of the total energy mix than coal and gas combined.
Kazakhstan has important hydro potential, thanks mainly to the Irtysh, Ili and Syrdarya rivers. However, this potential remains somewhat unexploited, as hydro represents only 2% of total electricity generation in Kazakhstan, and only 12% of installed capacity.
Taiwan has a history of promoting emissions reduction and renewable energy generation. By 2025, the country aims to produce 20% of its electricity from renewable sources. Hydropower accounts for a little over 1% of the country’s electricity mix.
Solar power in Morocco increased 16-fold between 2009 and 2020, and Morocco aims to source 20% of its electricity from solar by 2030.
