Kenya: Biogas power project


GE is supplying UK-based developer Clarke Energy with two of its Jenbacher J420 biogas engines for a new 2.8MW agricultural biogas power project owned by Tropical Power at a vegetable farm near Lake Naivasha. The farm’s biomass waste, including trimmings and unsold vegetables, will be processed in a digester system to create biogas, which will fuel the engines to generate renewable electricity. The new plant will produce enough electricity to meet the farm’s needs and deliver surplus electricity to the local grid.
