In Kenya, geothermal energy is expected to grow with the implementation of a working mechanism of carbon credit compensation and other financial grants. These measures will stimulate the financial perspective of geothermal development in Kenya and help the country achieve its goal of increasing its geothermal energy capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GDC takes the upfront risk of geothermal development, which includes <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Drilling&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&amp;gt;Drilling is the process of making a hole from the ground surface through a predetermined trajectory to a predetermined depth where a desired resource is found.
