Perceived values and climate change resilience dataset in Siaya County, Kenya.

This dataset presents perceived values and socioeconomic indicators collected in Siaya, a rural county in Kenya in 2022. The data was obtained from 300 household surveys and group interviews conducted in six sub-counties across eleven villages. Socioeconomic data were collected with a special focus on climate change vulnerability.

GeoH2 model: Geospatial cost optimization of green hydrogen production including storage and transportation.

This paper presents GeoH2, a geospatial model that optimizes the cost of green hydrogen production, storage, transport, and conversion. This model calculates the cost of producing green hydrogen in a specified location to meet demand in another location by: •Optimizing hydrogen conversion and transport from production site to demand site•Optimizing green hydrogen production and storage based on spatially-specific wind and solar generation temporal availability This method allows users to map production costs throughout a region to identify the lowest-cost location of green hydrogen production to meet demand using a specified end-state for transportation and storage (i.e.

Second-life battery systems for affordable energy access in Kenyan primary schools.

As the world transitions to net zero, energy storage is becoming increasingly important for applications such as electric vehicles, mini-grids, and utility-scale grid stability. The growing demand for storage will constrain raw battery materials, reduce the availability of new batteries, and increase the rate of battery retirement. As retired batteries are difficult to recycle into components, to avoid huge amounts of battery waste, reuse and repurposing options are needed.

Spatial Data Starter Kit for OnSSET Energy Planning in Kitui County, Kenya.

The 2019 Energy Act requires each of Kenya's 47 counties to independently develop energy plans. As county energy planning accelerates, it is important to understand the availability and readiness of data required to facilitate it. This article identifies, evaluates, and pre-processes openly available data to facilitate county-level energy planning using the Open Source Spatial Electrification Tool (OnSSET) in Kitui County, Kenya.

Rural Home Annotation Dataset Mapped by Citizen Scientists in Satellite Imagery.

This article presents a geolocated dataset of rural home annotations on very high resolution satellite imagery from Uganda, Kenya, and Sierra Leone. This dataset was produced through a citizen science project called "Power to the People", which mapped rural homes for electrical infrastructure planning and computer-vision-based mapping. Additional details on this work are presented in "Power to the People: Applying citizen science to home-level mapping for rural energy access" [1].

Perceived value interviews and socio-economic survey data for communities in rural Uganda.

This article describes a dataset of perceived values and socioeconomic indicators collected in rural Ugandan communities. The data were collected in interviews which employed: (1) the User-Perceived Value game, which solicits verbal data using graphical prompts and 'why'-probing; and (2) socio-economic surveys, which collected demographic data. The dataset constitutes 119 interviews conducted between 2014 and 2015 in seven rural Ugandan villages.
