Kenya PtX Atlas shows potential for green ammonia from renewable energies

Green hydrogen and its derivatives such as ammonia are considered key to a sustainable energy future and the decarbonization of industry. A new interactive map that identifies suitable locations for ammonia production in Kenya is now making an important contribution to this. The Kenya PtX Atlas was developed by the Fraunhofer IEE based on a report produced in collaboration with the H2Global Foundation and Strathmore University in Kenya.

Energy planning reimagined: OASES provides open data and models for Africa and Europe

The expansion of renewable energies is progressing worldwide, but in many places there is a lack of reliable data and suitable modelling tools. This shortage also hinders the utilization of enormous RE potential in African countries. As part of the OASES research project, the Fraunhofer IEE and its partners have therefore established an open AU-EU ecosystem for energy system modelling.
