Revolutionary business model that addresses access and costs for energy and health
About
What We Do
At Snark Energy, we are creating a new path to energy and health abundance. We do this through mini-grids, Bitcoin and our novel health savings digital asset Hippocratic Coin® and renewables (geothermal, solar, hydro and wind energy). Through a new business model, we are solving the problems of access and costs for both energy and health in a sustainable manner that ensures transition to low carbon emmissions, green and climate resilient development . As a convener, we bring together multiple entities, facilitate coordination, and bear and apportion financial risks.

Mini grids and Bitcoin have the potential to revolutionize energy access in Africa. Mini grids are small-scale electricity generation systems that can provide power to rural and remote areas that are not connected to the main power grid. These systems can be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, or hydro, making them a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for energy access in Africa. Bitcoin mining is the process of verifying transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, and it requires a significant amount of energy. In Africa, some companies are using renewable energy sources to power their Bitcoin mining operations, which in turn provides a stable source of income for the mini grids. This creates a symbiotic relationship between Bitcoin mining and mini grids, as the revenue generated from mining can be used to fund and expand the mini grid infrastructure. This has the potential to bring reliable electricity to millions of people in Africa who currently lack access to it.

Kenya has vast renewable energy potential, including geothermal, hydropower, wind, and solar power. According to a 2021 article from the Rapid Transition Alliance, Kenya is rapidly emerging as Africa's renewable energy superpower. In his inauguration speech, President William Ruto called for an end to humanity's 'addiction to fossil fuels' and reaffirmed Kenya's commitment to renewable energy. The Renewable Energy Portal of Kenya indicates that the country's total installed large hydropower capacity is 743 MW, with an estimated small hydro potential of 743 MW. The purpose of the portal is to provide information on Kenya's renewable energy potential, including the legal and regulatory framework for investments in renewable energy. The International Energy Agency's Kenya Energy Outlook also provides analysis and findings on Kenya's renewable energy potential.description.

Data centers in Africa are experiencing significant growth, driven by the continent's increasing demand for digital services and the need for infrastructure to support the growth of the digital economy. According to a 2023 article from Semafor, a new generation of data centers are being built in Africa's smaller economies, fueling a $5 billion market opportunity on the world's fastest-growing continent. Africa's data center market size is expected to cross $3 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of over 12 percent. The sector has witnessed a steady growth in interest from major global cloud service providers such as AWS, Microsoft, and Huawei over the last five years. A 2020 report from Turner & Townsend suggests that the Africa data centre market size is expected to cross US$3 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of over 12 percent. Key factors driving the growth of data centers in Africa include an increase in internet penetration, the rise of cloud computing, and the need for local infrastructure to support data sovereignty requirements. However, challenges remain, such as energy supply, connectivity, and regulatory hurdles. To address these challenges, efforts are being made to improve energy supply, connectivity, and regulatory frameworks.

As an Environment and Energy Transition specialist in Petroleum and Renewable Energy, my main focus is on Projects Ideation & Identification, Projects Development, Environment and Social engagements, Permits, Licenses & Agreements follow through and Financial Closure.
My primary focus is to ensure the efficiency and effective utilization of renewable resources and ensuring oil and gas exploration is harnessed in a sustainable and environmental conscious manner, and ensuring the communities interest in this areas are well taken care of .
To facilitate this, I have been involved through my over 14 year experience in offering advice and guidance contributing to business critical decisions, and developing robust processes in oil and gas, and renewable energy projects both in government ( National Oil Corporation of Kenya) and collaboration with private sector players. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackson-ingolo-15aa1b16a/
I have offered advice in the energy development path, which is focused on the requirements of conscious and sustainable development by ensuring, inter alia, effective environmental policies and regulations, the application of best available technology, the development and support of strong environmental institutions both externally and internally, and advocacy campaigns for behavioral change.
In all this, I am working out on the interface of green energy and petroleum Energy integration, and always helping to drive energy access particularly for millions of unserved and underserved communities in Africa through technological innovations, that helps accelerate sustainable energy access.
