Green energy developer Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) is advancing ambitions to develop a green energy and fertiliser project in Kenya, with the company having signed an Investment Support and Implementation Agreement with the Kenyan government.

The agreement will accelerate the Framework Agreement signed during COP27, for the potential development of a 300-MW-capacity generation, green ammonia and fertiliser facility in the Naivasha vicinity of the Olkaria geothermal field.

The agreement outlines a commercial framework for the implementation of the project, including government support for the critical resources, infrastructure and offtake.

The parties have also agreed, as part of the project’s scope, to include the supply of green electricity to Kenya’s grid.

“Today we mark an important milestone in our commitments to not only reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, but more significantly make a bold statement that Kenya is on an ambitious green growth agenda,” Kenya President Dr William Ruto said.

“We are also walking the talk by taking steps that proactively exploit the opportunity to not only provide solutions to the global climate crisis, but also leapfrog our people and economies into a Green Industrial Age.
