Transport Sector Energy Demand Analysis Using MAED: The Case of Urban centers in Kenya.
Abstract
This report applies the MAED framework to analyse urban passenger transport energy demand in Kenya, using KNBS data for 2019, 2020, and 2025. The analysis focuses on population-driven passenger activity, load factors, modal split, and energy intensity. Two objectives are examined: reduction of energy demand in the transport sector and development of mass transit systems to address congestion. Results show that improving load factors and shifting energy use towards efficient public transport modes reduces energy demand per passenger-kilometre while supporting inclusive socio-economic development and reducing congestion in Kenyan urban centres.
