The first-ever Eastern Africa Regional Green Hydrogen Symposium officially kicked off on Wednesday in Nairobi bringing together over 250 stakeholders from across Eastern Africa and beyond to chart a sustainable path for green hydrogen in the region.
The high-level event, hosted by Kenya's Ministry of Energy and Petroleum in partnership with the German Government, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and the East African Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy and Efficiency (EACREE) aims to accelerate the development of a green hydrogen ecosystem that is inclusive, equitable, and regionally integrated.
Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary (CS), Opiyo Wandayi, emphasized the region's potential to become a global hub for clean energy exports, leveraging its abundant renewable energy resources, including geothermal, solar, wind and hydro. "This symposium is not just another meeting.
It is a convening of minds, of vision, and of resolve," he declared.
