Kenya is advancing a green hydrogen program to improve energy reliability by integrating electrolysis systems powered by Olkaria geothermal steam. KenGen is developing a 100MW hydrogen plant valued at KSh 17 billion to support grid stability and enable clean industrial energy use. The initiative includes producing green ammonia for fertilizer through renewable hydrogen, strengthening local chemical engineering capacity. Experts noted that transmission upgrades remain essential to maximize the technology’s impact on Kenya’s power system.
