Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
The chapter on geothermal resources in Kenya supports UN SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) by highlighting the country's rapid geothermal development driven by the utilization of its vast untapped geothermal resources, contributing towards sustainable energy production and addressing energy access challenges in the region.
The content of Chapter 1, which provides an overview of geothermal resources, drilling, engineering, power generation, costs, and sustainability, aligns with various UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) by promoting the utilization of geothermal energy for sustainable power generation and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by fostering innovation and advancements in geothermal technology and infrastructure.

The content ties to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by discussing small-scale thermal desalination techniques using low-grade heat sources to ensure sustainable water management and supply, promote affordable and clean energy access, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy-efficient solutions. Greenhouse gas emissions are lowered through the utilization of low-grade heat sources.
