10 Olkaria power station in Kenya Operated by KenGen since MWe in % of national electricity 167 MW in 2010 Plan 530 MWe by 2015 Many key geothermal specialists of KenGen and GDC are graduates of UNU-GTP Waste water used to heat greenhouses

11 Good houses are provided for workers families with electricity, running water, health centres and schools for the children. If each worker has a family of five, then 200 thousand people are provided for by the rose farms. UN Millenium Goals met. Greenhouses near Olkaria

12 Geothermal Greenhouses in Tunisia Replace cooling towers to cool irrigation water from deep wells in the oasis from 75 C to 30 C. Geothermal is biproduct of the irrigation. First UNDP experimental greenhouse in 1985

13 Geothermal Greenhouses in Tunisia Fast expansion to 194 hectares in Main products tomatoes and melons for export to Europe. Many jobs created for men and women.

14 Graduates of UNU-GTP in Africa Country No. Trained Retired or not in geothermal Available Algeria Burundi Djibouti Egypt Eritrea Ethiopia Kenya Tanzania Tunisia Uganda Rwanda Zambia Total

15 UNU-GTP graduates.. are among the leading specialists in geothermal research and development in many countries in Africa, Asia, Central America and Eastern Europe.. have been very successful, and have contributed significantly to renewable energy development in their parts of the world.. are very active in the international geothermal community

16 World Geothermal Congress UNU Fellows from 25 countries presented papers

17 UNU-GTP graduates from Africa Will be in the frontline at World Geothermal Congress in April UNU-GTP Fellows from 9 African countries are authors or co-authors of 40 refereed papers in Conference Proceedings The papers are divided between 10 technical sessions A total of 139 UNU-GTP Fellows from 31 countries in the world are authors or co-authors of 199 papers in 25 sessions at WGC 2010 About 1000 papers included in WGC 2010 Conference Proceedings

18 Short courses as Contribution to UN Millennium Development Goals Government of Iceland has secured core funding for UNU-GTP to expand its capacity building activities by workshops/short courses in geothermal development in selected countries in Africa (started in Kenya in 2005), Central America (started in El Salvador in 2006), and in Asia (started in China 2008) A part of the objective is to increase cooperation between geothermal specialists in different countries in regions/continents The courses may in the future develop into regional geothermal training centres in co-operation with UNU-GTP. The first such centre will probably be established in Kenya for African countries
