• Project 1 October 2021 A Circular Bioeconomy for the Kenyan Dairy Sector (VALORISE) The Global food system is the single largest driver of environmental change, contributing to 24% of global emissions and consuming 70% of the world's blue water. At the same time 2 billion people are live with food insecurity. All this while 24% of calories produced for humans are lost or wasted in the supply chain, and food loss and waste (FLW) represents 3.3 billion tons of GHGs - equivalent to making it the 3rd largest emitting 'country' in the world. Looking at the Kenyan dairy-sector, the…
• Webinar & E-Learning 8 September 2021 Building trust in ESCOs in a developing country context: the case of Kenya (Webinar) – 24.08.2021 To achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), developing countries need to enhance their efforts and skills to make improvements in energy efficiency that require rel­atively less investment. Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) are recognized as potentially important contributors to such improvements, but the ESCO markets are not yet well devel­oped in developing countries. Kenya has a relatively blank sheet of paper for developing the right frameworks for ESCOs to address the…
• News 7 April 2021 New research project on the collection and recycling of electronic waste from off-grid solar devices Sales of small off-grid solar PV systems have exploded in the last 10-15 years, especially in Africa. In rural areas without access to electricity, these systems are typically used to power everything from mobile chargers and lanterns to radios, televisions and refrigerators. However, their lifespans are often short, raising concerns about a looming waste crisis. Furthermore, they often contain hazardous substances such as heavy metals, with potentially adverse impacts on human health and the…
• Project 3 February 2021 Governing solar electronic waste recycling in Kenya This project can now be found here The diffusion of small-scale, off-grid solar devices, such as solar lanterns and solar home systems, have increased rapidly and significantly across countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The solar electronic waste being generated and disposed of is increasing at a similar pace, which has raised concerns about the overall sustainability of the off-grid solar sector. The solar devices contain various hazardous materials, such as lead and cadmium, the disposal of…
• News 16 September 2020 Assisting Kenya develop a national energy efficiency strategy Experts from UNEP DTU Partnership together with Kenyan and international stakeholders have developed the Kenya National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Strategy (NEECS), launched today by the Ministry of Energy of Kenya. Improvements in energy efficiency from the new strategy will help reduce the demand for fossil fuels while enhancing the potential of renewable energy to meet a larger portion of the country’s energy needs. Furthermore, the strategy will contribute towards the achievement…
