Colombia Renewable in % Electricity Production
In 2014, Colombia passed a law aimed at encouraging the penetration of non-conventional renewable energy sources, referred to as FNCER (Fuentes No Convencionales de Energía Renovable). FNCER include biomass, small hydro, wind, solar, and tidal energy, as well as green and blue hydrogen since 2022.
The objective of the National Development Plan 2022-2026 for 2 300 MW of FNCER in 2026 is on track, since close to 80% of the target was met at the end of 2024.

Colombia GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
According to its first NDC update (2020), Colombia has pledged to cut GHG emissions by at least 51% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario (equivalent to 170 MtCO2eq of emissions). It is also committed to reducing black carbon by 40% compared to 2014 levels. In 2021, the government launched the Carbon Neutral Colombia strategy with the aim of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050, which corresponds to a 90% emissions reduction compared to 2015.
