The Sustainable Development Goals that the United Nations put out are a blueprint for how we are to achieve a more sustainable and equitable future for all. As we approach the energy transition with regards to these goals, we must think about how a particular project can aid in furthering us along the path to reaching these goals. Geothermal as we have discussed many times is not just electricity and the same goes for not just being focused on one of these goals. It can assist with providing accessible energy to all, economic development, eliminating poverty, gender equality, creating infrastructure and sustainable cities & countries. Jesse Nyokabi, Green Energy Pacesetter, ImPPPact Global Alliance Ambassador for Kenya gives us the run down on how Geothermal can address these goals and how in Kenya Geothermal is providing over 45% of their energy.
Energy access is key to creating a sustainable future, eliminating poverty and improving health. Kenya is at 80% of Kenyans having access to energy, mostly due to their incredible renewable energy production. Geothermal is playing a major role in making Africa a hotspot for learnings, innovation, economic development, sustainable development, better quality of life and so much more. Can Geothermal help Africa become a major economic hub for energy, green hydrogen and beyond? Come listen in to my conversation with Jesse Nyokabi, a Green Energy Pacesetter and ImPPPact Global Alliance Ambassador for Kenya as we talk about the Sustainable Development Goals and how Kenya is leading the way for Africa with regards to Geothermal.
