A Biomass boiler project commissioned by Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi (AKUH, N) in September 2023 has won the National Energy Globe Award granted by the Energy Globe Foundation Austria. The project has reduced diesel use by 950,000 litres per year. This has resulted in a decrease of 2000 tons of carbon emissions in the first year of operations, which is similar to driving back and forth between Nairobi and Mombasa almost 700 times in an average-sized automobile. AKUH, N CEO Rashid Khalani said, “Organisations must consider the environmental impact of their operations and develop solutions to decrease their carbon emissions – everyone needs to play their part! At AKUH, N we are proud to be showcasing what is possible while maintaining the highest quality of care.”
