KENYAN RENEWABLES WILL UP
With renewable energy making up a staggering 70% of Kenya’s energy mix in 2018 (Onyango, 2018) and as high as 87% as of January 2020, (Zarembka, 2020) one would be curious to see what steps Kenya took to shape its renewable energy landscape and attract private sector investment.

GREEN HYDROGEN IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE
I regard the strictly green position as irrational and counterproductive. It is an impediment to efforts to quickly slash carbon emissions and limit the effects of global warming.

HYDROGEN FOR DECARBONIZATION
While burning hydrogen is a carbon neutral activity and impacts Scope 3 emissions positively, the hydrogen itself may not be produced in a carbon neutral application.

GREEN HYDROGEN FOR EUROPE
In May 2020, as Europe was waking up from the first lockdown in response to COVID-19, the European Union (EU) announced earmarking funding up to €30 billion to produce 1 million metric tons (t) of green hydrogen per year,

GREEN HYDROGEN FOR EUROPE
Green hydrogen is beginning to have a main role in the energy strategies of many countries and companies. This molecule will have the capability of slowly displacing fossil fuels as a consequence of its versatility and gravimetric energy density.

RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
Russia has 36 nuclear power units in operation and three new ones under construction. In March, Russia's Ministry for Economic Development published a draft strategy for low-carbon development to 2050. The strategy's basic scenario would see nuclear output grow from 203 TWh in 2017 to 225 TWh in 2030 and 260 TWh in 2050. State nuclear corporation Rosatom's foreign orders include 36 units, which are at various stages of implementation.

HYDROGEN ENERGY: ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Adding any new expense to the economically failed Wind and Solar solution is not a solution to the root issue - intermittency and demand matching.
