Bhutan, a small landlocked country, is the only carbon negative country in the world. The forests cover 70% of its territory and most of its population lives in rural areas. Its constitution require the country to maintain at least 60% forest cover at all times. These forests not only provide clean air and water but also absorb more carbon than the country emits.
Hydropower, Bhutan’s largest economic sector, provides almost all domestic electricity and is also exported to India. The farmers are provided free electricity so they don’t need to burn wood, helping to reduce carbon emissions. Now, because the country exports energy to its neighbouring countri... Read More
Production of low-emissions hydrogen grew by approximately 10 % in 2023 and is projected to reach around one million metric tonnes (Mt) by the end of 2025. While still a small fraction of global hydrogen production (less than 1 %), this milestone represents a crucial step forward for a technology that can significantly aid in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry and transport.
Several key trends are driving this growth. Since 2020, over 200 low-emissions hydrogen production projects have reached final investment decisions — a major shift from earlier pilot-only initiatives. Capital expenditure surged to about US $4.3 billion in 2024, an 80 % rise over 2023, with investments divided between electrolysis and fossil... Read more
