4 FAQs about Kenya air energy storage project investment

Who is the implementing agency for the Kenyan battery energy storage system?

The Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen), has been designated to be the Implementing Agency for the Kenyan Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which is part of the Kenya Green and Resilient Expansion of Energy (GREEN) program, funded by the World Bank.

Will Kenya support the Great Carbon Valley Project?

At NY Climate Week, Christoph Gebald, co-CEO of Climeworks, and Bilha Ndirangu, CEO of Great Carbon Valley, met with Ali Mohamed, Climate Change Envoy at the Executive Office of the President of Kenya, to discuss the project. The government of Kenya welcomes the initiative and will support the investment in any way required.

Is Kenya a good place for low-carbon energy?

Additionally, Kenya offers abundant potential for low-carbon energy sources, including geothermal, wind, and solar energy generation. Carbon dioxide removal must be significantly scaled up to meet the pathways described by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

Is Kenya a good place to deploy DAC+s?

As highlighted at the Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi this month, Kenya's geological advantages and abundant low-carbon energy sources make it a very promising location for large-scale DAC+S deployment. According to climate science, carbon dioxide removal, including via DAC+S, must be scaled up drastically and globally in the coming decades.
