Kenya & The Carbon Markets

As home to the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) and also as the home to Prof. Wangari Maathai, it has always been in the back of my mind that Kenya needs to be a leader in Clean Development Mechanisms (CDMs) in Africa.

This has especially been the case because of:

- The 7-folk sisters that provide most of the Hydro power in Kenya;
- The Sondu-Miriu Hydropower Project;
- The Ol-Karia Geothermal Project;
- The sugar factories (Mumias, SONY, Muhoroni, Miwani) that produce enough biodiesel to produce electricity;
- The very existence of the Mau Forest and how preserving the forest as a catchment area could actually draw points in how the downstream product is preserved.

Well, my prayers have been answered by Alice Kaudia.
