WELCOME TO THE FIFTH AFRICAN RIFT GEOTHERMAL CONFERENCE

This conference is a platform in which regional and international delegates will share knowledge and experience in geothermal science, technology and financing for the betterment of the human kind. It is our expectation that the conference will contribute new ideas and rejuvenate our aspirations in harnessing geothermal resource for the overall wellbeing of our social economic development.

You are welcome to Arusha, a place blessed with all sorts of natural and touristic attractions, providing you opportunity to explore geothermal and beyond.

Thank you for participating in the Fifth African Rift Geothermal Conference.

Once again, “Karibu” to Tanzania

Economic development worldwide is gauged by per capita energy consumption among other parameters. Increasing the per capita energy consumption requires utilization of readily available renewable energy sources found in our regions. Geothermal energy is one of the ideal sources of reliable power supply.

The geothermal resource of Tanzania is estimated to exceed 5,000 MW and are located at around Lake Natron, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Mbeya, Luhoi, Kisaki, Utete and Maji Moto. Presently, the Government is developing strategies and mechanisms that will accelerate the pace of geothermal development and utilization. Recently the Government established the Tanzania Geothermal Development Company Ltd (TGDC) to spearhead exploration and development.

Tanzania is endowed with diverse forms of renewable energy resources, ranging from biomass and hydropower to geothermal, solar, and wind. Much of this potential has not been fully exploited. Without doubt, if properly utilized, such renewable resources would contribute significantly to Tanzania’s energy supply, thus moving the country sustainably towards achieving middle-income status, as envisioned in the Tanzania National Development Vision 2025.

WELCOME MESSAGE BY ACHIM STEINER UN UNDER-SECRETARY GENERAL AND UNEP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

many firms operate their own diesel generators at two to three times the cost with attendant environmental costs.

It is clear that a business as usual scenario which relies on fossil or biomass energy sources to fuel Africa’s power sector poses a serious threat to long term economic growth and competitiveness, not to mention the negative impacts on air quality, CO2 emissions and the overall health of the planet.

Geothermal is indigenous, environmentally-friendly and a technology that has been under-utilized for too long. The East Africa Region has an estimated geothermal potential of about t 20,000 MW ready for harvesting across the region. It is time to take this technology off the back burner in order to power livelihoods, fuel development and reduce dependence on polluting fossil fuels.

Focusing on Africa’s energy needs, the conference aims to encourage an energy revolution — one that taps Geothermal energy as a means to power sustainable development and achieve equitable energy distribution across the continent.

Today, some 24 per cent of the population of sub-Saharan Africa has access to electricity versus 40 per cent in other low income countries. Excluding South Africa, the entire installed generation capacity of sub-Saharan Africa is only 28 Gigawatts, equivalent to that of Argentina.

Power outages in sub-Saharan Africa account for economic losses close to 20 per cent of sales revenues across the manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, the average power tariff is US $0.13 per kilowatt-hour compared to the global average of up to US $0.08 per kilowatt-hour, according to World Bank calculations. Given poor reliability,

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is pleased to welcome you to the Fifth African Geothermal Conference (ARGeo-C5), generously hosted this year by the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania.

We also look forward to the launch of the ARGeo Geothermal Inventory Database (AGID) during the course of the conference, in cooperation with the Icelandic International Development Agency, which will provide an essential resource for governments and key stakeholders.

Finally, our sincere thanks to the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania for hosting the conference.

I would also like to acknowledge the role of the Governments of the region and our partners in supporting efforts to support Africa’s Geothermal development through their provision of funding support, technical know-how and capacity building; these include the African Union Commission (AUC), the AUC-KfW Geothermal Risk Mitigation Facility (GRMF), the Icelandic International Development Agency (ICEIDA), the German Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural resources (BGR), the Nordic Development Fund, the United Nations University- geothermal Training Programme (UNU-GTP), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), US Power Africa, East African Geothermal Branch (EARB), and the International geothermal Association (IGA) .

It is through such valuable collaboration that our common goals will be met.

Africa’s largest Geothermal Power Station, Olkaria in Kenya’s rift valley, generates about 570 megawatts (MW) , with Kenya aiming for 1,646 MWe by 2017 .

For over a decade, UNEP worked with Kenya’s National Power Generation Utility (KenGen) on the Joint Geophysical Imaging (JGI) for the Geothermal Reservoir Assessment project, with the aim of lowering geothermal development costs by improving the interpretation of geophysical data, and so reducing the number of expensive, unproductive wells. Working at KenGen’s Olkaria facility, improvements in imaging and interpretation have increased the chances of hitting steam, and made it easier to identify wells of high generation potential.

Today, Kenya has set itself the inspiring goal of generating 1,646 MWe by 2017 from geothermal, setting the stage for a Geothermal boom in the region.

The Africa Rift Valley Geothermal Development Facility (ARGeo) aims at supporting the development of this large untapped geothermal resource potential in the East Africa Region with the main objective of reducing risks associated with the resource’s exploration.

The adoption of a comprehensive regional strategy for geothermal development is one way of reducing the risks and accelerating the uptake of geothermal energy in Africa.

The KfW, formerly KfW Bankengruppe (banking group), is a German government-owned development bank, based in Frankfurt. Its name originally comes from Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (“Reconstruction Credit Institute”). It was formed in 1948 after World War II as part of the Marshall Plan.

It is owned by the Federal Republic of Germany (80%) and the States of Germany (20%).[2] It is led by a five-member Managing Board headed by Ulrich Schröder, which in turn reports to a 37-member Supervisory Board. The chair of the Supervisory Board changes annually between the German Federal Ministers of Finance and Economic Affairs; the chairman for 2014 is Sigmar Gabriel.

KfW banking group covers over 90% of its borrowing needs in the capital markets, mainly through bonds that are guaranteed by the federal government. This allows KfW to raise funds at advantageous conditions. Its exemption from having to pay corporate taxes due to its legal status as a public agency and unremunerated equity provided by its public shareholders allow KfW to provide loans for purposes prescribed by the KfW law at lower rates than commercial banks. KfW is not allowed to compete with commercial banks, but it facilitates their business in areas within its mandate. KfW banking group has three business units with distinct functions, as well as several subsidiaries.

Lending by KfW group’s two main business units, accounting for more than 90% of total lending, is in Germany and, to a limited extent, in other European countries.

However, its largest subsidiary, KfW IPEX Bank GmbH, predominantly lends internationally. A smaller subsidiary, the German Investment Corporation (DEG), and one of the group’s smaller business units, KfW Development Bank, are exclusively active in the international arena, each within their particular business areas.
