As the global climate agenda continues to gain traction,  stakeholders in the energy sector are making efforts to transition into green energy as the drive towards renewable energy  gathers momentum.

With this in mind, petroleum products company distributor, Dalbit Petroleum Limited, has committed to continuing to deliver sustainable energy, while supporting Kenya’s transition towards a low-carbon economy.

The company, helps supply energy access across the country and in the process creates jobs, and spurs economic growth for all Kenyans as a direct result.

In an event to celebrate its 20 years of fueling growth in Kenya and the region that was attended by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Dalbit Petroleum recognised the role of innovation and technology in the green energy transformation of the continent and pledged more investment in its business to adapt itself towards this next step.

According to a recent report titled World Energy Employment, published by the International Energy Agency, there already appears to be more jobs globally in clean energy and the forecasts indicate that this gap could grow as more countries turn towards green energy.

And as climate experts submit, the global transition to clean energy is now, more urgent than ever. It is a prerequisite particularly amid the current energy crisis that continues to be heightened by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Dalbit, according to its founder, Humphrey Kariuki, continues to supply energy to over nine countries across East and Southern Africa and looks forward to contributing to the national development of even more countries over the coming 20 years. He assured of the company’s input through technology and innovations in green energy transformation.

Since the inception of the company and its operations in the country in 2002, Dalbit has fueled the Kenyan economy through distribution of reliable and safe petroleum products including gasoil, gasoline, Jet-A1 fuel, and heavy fuel oil.

“When we began, the petroleum industry faced significant and seemingly insurmountable hurdles. Countries in the region were dealing with drought, civil unrest and a distinct lack of infrastructure, which was, in turn, holding back much-needed economic development,” said Timothy Skudi, CEO Dalbit Affiliates.

He said the business has been instrumental in addressing power challenges by providing total energy solutions that have supported Kenyan and regional businesses, driving economic growth and higher living standards for communities.

Mr Gachagua said the government acknowledges entrepreneurs and investors as the most important resources for the country’s economic development.
