From Steam to Soil: KenGen and Kaishan Pioneer Kenya’s Green Ammonia Revolution By: Robert Buluma Kenya is taking a bold step toward green industrialization. In a landmark collaboration, KenGen and Kaishan Group have teamed up to develop Africa’s first large-scale geothermal-powered green ammonia and fertilizer plant at Olkaria in Naivasha. The project, valued at around $800 million , will utilize 165 MW of geothermal steam and power supplied by KenGen under a 30-year agreement. Kaishan’s subsidiary, Kaishan Terra Green Ammonia Limited , will construct and operate the facility, which is expected to produce over 100,000 tons of green ammonia annually—processed into fertilizer products like urea and ammonium nitrate. Transforming Kenya’s Energy and Agricultural Landscape This project marks a turning point for Kenya’s geothermal sector. It extends the value of geothermal energy beyond electricity generation, proving that steam can fuel not just turbines—but also ...
