Lessons Learned – Why is Geothermal Power in Kenya a Success? References and key contacts What Is Geothermal Energy? Geothermal energy is formed deep within the earth’s crust, and is exploited for electricity generation and other direct uses. The medium of this energy transfer is geothermal fluid. On the surface, these are manifested as hot grounds, fumaroles, geysers, mud-pools and hot springs. Some of these are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Some Surface Manifestations of Geothermal Resources Source: Mariita, 2006 2.0 Why Use Geothermal Energy? Geothermal energy is likely to become a major contributor to Africa’s electrical power, especially in those countries that are endowed with this resource. Other countries may benefit by means of high voltage direct current (HVDC) lines Geothermal potential exists in east Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of north and southern Africa. Key benefits of geothermal energy include the following: I. Geothermal energy is competitive in terms of cost. Estimates indicate that it can even compete with large-scale hydro power (Stefansson, 1999). II. Geothermal power plants have near zero emissions, (true for modern closed cycle systems that re- inject water back to the earth’s crust) and very little space requirement per unit of power generated (Karekezi and Kithyoma, 2008). This makes geothermal energy an attractive option compared to fossil fuel alternatives. www.e-parl.net www.afrepren.org P a g e | 2PDF Image | Geothermal Power Generation in Kenya
