Kenya has unveiled its National Green Hydrogen Strategy, targeting commercial export of clean hydrogen by 2030 using surplus geothermal and wind power. The Ministry of Energy, in partnership with GIZ and the EU, plans pilot projects in Menengai and Lake Turkana. The strategy aims to position Kenya as East Africa’s hydrogen hub, attracting green steel and fertilizer investors. A Ksh5 billion innovation fund will support electrolyser deployment and skills development. Kenya’s low-cost renewable electricity (Ksh5.50/kWh) gives it a competitive edge. The first export feasibility study with Germany is underway, with pilot shipments expected by 2026.
