Technical support for a feasibility study to identify viable green energy solutions at the Port of Mombasa lays a major foundation for such a transition. This project shall create new job opportunities around green technologies and renewable energies and associated value chain resulting in increased income levels and poverty reduction.
A study conducted by Trademark Africa in 2023 estimated the volume of emissions at the Port of Mombasa to be 532,424 tCO2e. The Kenya Ports Masterplan 2018 – 2047 outlines climate change mitigation and adaptation as a critical environmental concern for future port development and operations.
The Port of Mombasa is no exception as it primarily utilizes fossil fuel-based equipment and fleet to support its port operations. This is part of the larger global challenge where Maritime and shipping activities have contributed approximately 3% to global GHG emissions.
The project will be implemented in the Port of Mombasa Geographically Located on 4°02'18"S, 39°38'39"E along the East African coastline. The Port is a major gateway to East and Central Africa frequented by ships with cargo bound or originating from its hinterland and neighbouring small island states.
