Partners
• Stockholm Environment Institute Africa Centre
• Coordinator: Dr Rocio Diaz-Chavez
• Kenya Forest Research Institute (KEFRI)
• World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF)

• Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Energy
Project activities
• Workshop May 17, 2018 with stakeholders
• Four pathways concluded and two selected for the current
project
• Partners involved in meetings
• Pathways selected and description started
• Division of indicators according to expertise
Background
• In sub-Saharan Africa, 72 per cent of urban and 98 per cent of
rural households use fuelwood for energy.
• In Kenya use of charcoal in urban areas has risen by 64 per
cent in two decades.
• charcoal industry provides employment to 500,000 people and
generates over US$427 million but kept out of the formal
economies of this country (Njenga, 2018)
(Transrisk, 2018)
Projected annual biomass energy consumption/supply (in thousands) in Kenya
KIPPRA (2010)
Pathways
• Sources: horticulture, food crops, industrial crops, livestock and fisheries.
• Food crops: maize (3500 kt/y), wheat (400 kt/y), rice (120 kt/y), Sorghum (170 kt/y), beans (620 kt/y), roots and tubers like potatoes (1630 kt/y), sweet potatoes (760 kt/y) and cassava (870 kt/y).
Industrial usesStrathmore University
Industrial crops: tea (400 kt/y), coffee (42 kt/y) and sugar cane (6000 kt/). Residues: husks, cobs, the shells, bagasse or straw for energy, fodder, compositing, mulching among other uses.

Challenges for GBEP indicators
1. Need to adapt the proposed methodology to the selected
pathways mainly solid biomass
2. Data in different organisations (e.g. GIZ, SNV, AECF, Clean
Cooking Alliance, others)
3. Quantitative data may be missing, only from past and ongoing
research
Overcoming challenges
• Data sharing
• Database for first time
• Narrative and proxy
