Feasibility Study for the proposed Green Hydrogen (gH2) and Ammonia (NH3) project based on Renewable Energy Sources, Kenya
Contracted by: Turner & Townsend Limited
The government of Kenya (GOK) is committed to the development of green ammonia and offtake, from the generation and utilization of green renewable energy from the Olkaria area in Nakuru.
The key scope of the assignment includes undertaking high-level estimating services for a potential private operator for the availability of skillset for the proposed projects: (a) a Fast-Track green power and fertilizer project anchored on available geothermal steam in the Olkaria region and (b) the development of gH2 and NH3 based on renewable energy sources, predominantly wind and geothermal. The study broadly looked into skills assessment of the local workforce for the roles generally required for this type of Project, local labour rate estimates across the different skillsets required for the Project; and an assessment of the productivity of local resources compared to other regions (such as Australia, Europe, or the USA).
