Between 2013 and 2023, the biomass consumption in Kenya has shown a general downward trend with intermittent fluctuations. As of 2023, the Domestic Material Consumption stood at 65.84. The year-on-year variation from 2022 to 2023 saw a marginal decline of 1.01%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years was -1.03%, indicating a consistent reduction in biomass consumption.
Looking forward, forecasted data suggests a continuation of this downward trajectory through 2028, with a predicted CAGR of -0.87% over the next five years. This highlights a cumulative decrease of approximately 4.27% in biomass consumption by 2028.
Some future trends to watch for include:
- Increased adoption of renewable energy technologies which may further drive down biomass consumption.
- Changes in government policies and subsidies supporting cleaner energy sources.
- Potential shifts in agricultural practices and waste management affecting biomass availability.
