Proto Energy’s Green Initiatives Save Over 7,000 Tonnes of CO2 in 2025
Proto Energy Limited has announced significant progress in its sustainability agenda, achieving a reduction of 7,085.76 tonnes of CO2 in the first half of 2025. According to its latest Sustainability Report, this achievement is equivalent to the environmental benefit of growing 4,723.84 hectares of eucalyptus trees for one year.
Themed “Creating a World of Endless Possibilities Through Sustainable Practices,” the report underscores the company’s commitment to embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into its operations. It aligns with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Good Health, Quality Education, Affordable and Clean Energy, and Climate Action.
Key highlights from H1 2025 include:
-
Education: 38 schools transitioned from firewood to cleaner, safer LPG cooking systems, improving health and learning conditions for students.
-
Health: 3 medical camps held for staff and surrounding communities.
-
Women Empowerment: 37 female employees enrolled in a leadership and growth program.
“In an era where sustainability is no longer optional but essential, Proto Energy is embedding it at the core of our business,” said Joel Kamau, CEO of Proto Energy. “Our mission is to deliver clean, quality, and accessible LPG to every Kenyan household and business while protecting the environment and empowering communities. Together, we fuel a future that is affordable, sustainable, and inclusive.”
Proto Energy’s sustainability roadmap is structured in phases. Having established a baseline in H1 2025, the company plans to design and roll out a comprehensive sustainability framework by mid-2026.
“Our ambition goes beyond numbers; it’s about shaping a future where every home and business in Kenya can access clean energy without compromising the environment,” Kamau added. “We believe sustainable energy is the bridge to stronger communities, thriving businesses, and a more resilient nation.”
The company also reinforced its commitment to environmental stewardship and safety by planting 600 trees across its operational sites. Additionally, the Proto Miritini Plant was recognized as the overall winner in the Oil and Gas category at the annual Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSH) Awards.
Looking ahead, Proto Energy has set ambitious goals:
-
Achieve Net-Zero carbon emissions by 2040
-
Restore 100 hectares of forested land by 2030
-
Transition 50 more schools to LPG cooking by 2027
