Integrated energy company Eni Kenya BV plans to establish a biogas facility in Kenya that will utilize trash dumps from five major landfills across Kenya to generate energy for households.
Awaiting government authorization, Eni Kenya BV’s proposal holds promise for addressing environmental hazards posed by dumpsites while simultaneously providing a renewable energy source.
The company’s initiative aims to transform these dumpsite into sources of clean energy.
“In 2023, in support of the subsidiary Eni Kenya BV, Eni Rewind conducted a feasibility study aimed at assessing the potential for biogas production in five urban waste landfills located in Kenya,” Eni said in its latest annual report.
Eni also operates a biofuel plant in Makueni with a capacity to process 15,000 metric tons.
