Adolfo Carlos Larach Foster president of Cohersa says that we can motivate all the readers to think in the green direction, let’s not believe that there are alternatives of other types of fuels that are less bad. I believe that all of humanity should be thinking and demanding that the energy transition should be as soon as possible and that we should be responsible with the environment, because I believe that we have little time left to do it.
Honduras is the leading country in the region in solar energy, given that, in 2018 and 2019, about 11% of electricity was provided by photovoltaics. In 2016, the country ranked first in Central America with respect to installed solar capacity and third in Latin America, behind Chile and Mexico. Honduras aims for 80% of its energy portfolio to come from renewable energies by 2038.
