During a recent high-profile event moderated by Tim Dixon from the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Program, the significance of emerging economies in Africa, particularly in decarbonizing their economies, took center stage. Brad Crabtree, representing the US Department of Energy, underscored the potential of CCS to facilitate industrialization with a substantially lower carbon footprint. This strategic alignment resonates with Kenya’s aspiration to position itself as a regional hub for CCS, with Swiss company Climeworks exploring a large-scale facility in the country.
Complementing the focus on CCS initiatives, the ongoing exploration of Blue Carbon introduces an innovative dimension. Blue Carbon, centered around carbon capture and storage by coastal and marine ecosystems, including mangroves and seagrasses, offers a compelling avenue for sustainable investment. This initiative contributes significantly to mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon at rates surpassing those of terrestrial forests.
