Technology & Process
How We Produce Green Hydrogen
Dongo Kundu Energy’s integrated production system transforms Kenya’s abundant solar resources and sustainable water supply into zero-carbon green hydrogen and medical-grade oxygen. By combining renewable energy generation, advanced water treatment, Enapter’s cutting-edge AEM electrolysis technology, and intelligent energy storage, DKE delivers a reliable and scalable clean energy solution for East Africa’s industrial future.
Electrolyser Technology
Enapter Nexus 2500
DKE has selected Enapter GmbH’s Nexus 2500 platform, one of the world’s most advanced modular AEM electrolyser systems.
Unlike conventional electrolyser technologies that rely on expensive precious metals, AEM technology offers lower operating costs, superior flexibility, and excellent performance under variable renewable energy conditions.
- Precious-Metal-Free Design
- Exceptional Load Following
- High Efficiency
- Modular Expansion
- Fast Startup Capability
Co-Product: Medical Oxygen
Medical Grade O₂ Revenue
High-Value Co-Product
Electrolysis naturally produces oxygen alongside hydrogen. Rather than venting this valuable resource, DKE captures and upgrades oxygen into medical-grade product suitable for healthcare applications.
This creates an additional revenue stream while supporting Kenya’s healthcare infrastructure.
Two Revenue Streams
Green Hydrogen
A reliable, locally-produced clean fuel and industrial feedstock for manufacturing and heavy industry, helping reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels while supporting industrial decarbonisation.
Medical-Grade Oxygen
Rather than venting oxygen produced during electrolysis, DKE captures and upgrades it to medical-grade oxygen for hospitals and healthcare facilities, creating a second revenue stream with measurable social impact.
Why DKE
First-Mover Advantage
Kenya’s first commercial-scale green hydrogen producer, positioned at the forefront of East Africa’s emerging hydrogen economy.
Strategic Location
Located within the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone (DKSEZ), offering industrial demand, logistics infrastructure, and direct access to the Port of Mombasa.
Proven Technology
Powered by Enapter’s modular AEM electrolysis technology, designed to operate efficiently alongside renewable energy and scale with market demand.
Dual-Product Business Model
