PH
The quantity of heat within 10,000 meters (concerning 33,000 feet) of planet’s surface area, based on the Union of Concerned Scientists, “has 50,000 times a lot more power compared to all the oil as well as gas sources on the planet.” The heat, when exchanged power with huge and also intricate power plant or via small and also relatively pumping systems, is described as geothermal power.
To address Africa’s current and future energy needs, the African Development Bank (AfDB), in a “New Deal on Energy for Africa,” wants to help the continent get its hands on all its energy resources, including the15 gigawatts of geothermal energy under the surface. The Menengai geothermal development project, for example, is located in the Rift Valley, about 180KM northwest of Nairobi. Through the development, the AfDB seeks to harness the potential of the Menengai geothermal steam field in generating150 MW of clean, reliable and affordable electricity annually so as to meet the growing energy needs of Kenyan households, businesses and industries. More on the AfDB in this briefing.
