SAGITTARIUS A:
Project

Pioneering clean fuel production in Kenya

 
 

Project Sagittarius A is Solargen Energy Corporation’s groundbreaking initiative to revolutionize clean energy in Kenya and beyond. We’re building a massive 200MW facility near Lamu, Kenya, to produce clean hydrogen and ammonia fuels using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. This project will not only create a cleaner future for Kenya by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy security, but also position the country as a major exporter of clean fuels, driving economic growth and creating new opportunities.:
