Kenya SGR using 38 million litres of diesel annually

Kenya's SGR trains using 38 million litres of diesel annually
A disclosure by the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) revealed that it requires over 38 million litres of automotive diesel to keep locomotives running on the SGR for a year...
One of the many mistakes made with the SGR was the failure to electrify it. Kenya has huge potential to produce carbon-free electricity from geothermal sources, and also to buy hydroelectricity from Uganda and Ethiopia.
