2 Key Reference Documents for Lake Kivu Development
The key reference documents for Lake Kivu’s development are simplified below. Each of these documents carries an extensive listing of additional reference documents, if
We have designed a series of projects on Lake Kivu that will de-risk the chance of an eruption that can emit 2 gigatons of carbon in a single day.
The lake contains 500 bcm of water & 400 bcm of gas. It is a natural CCS, upgradeable to store 5 gigatons of carbon, preserving its density structure.
With Hydragas' gas extraction method, 100% compliant with the safe extraction rules, the lake's risk of eruption will drop 99% within 20 years.
Community safety is improved by preventing this eruption and the resulting release of a cloud of toxic gas that fills the valley.
Click on a Card on the home page to navigate to in-depth articles on Lake Kivu and the Hydragas extraction technology. The second card provides access to another menu page with interesting blogs. The blog pages are where we have updates and opinions on issues that are material to the health and wealth of the lake communities.
Our website is set up as an information source. This home page links to blog pages on the site explain the issues around how and why we will develop a most remarkable, nature-based energy source.
Lake Kivu is the second-deepest of Africa’s Great Lakes. It has a unique trap for anoxic biogas formation and storage. It poses a danger to its community but is simultaneously a source of wealth from its resources. We discuss views on the best development options.
We explain why the right choices must be made for the community’s safety. The knowledge is worth sharing. In the past a lack of knowledge, mixed with opportunism, was a source of poor decision-making. The price of poor decisions is measured in lives and lost opportunity.

Regional renewable power play in East Africa Hydragas plans a 600 MW power project series. Our plan is to develop half Lake Kivu’s potential
Maps & Photos of the Lake’s Geography The View of Lake Kivu is rendered in 3D by Christoph Hormann to show its Rift Valley
Update: As one of a group of experts appointed to work on Lake Kivu’s safe development, we studied the dangers. Both lava and seismic rifting are two “Black-Swan” events we fear. But only if these are very large events they become extremely dangerous. I update this blog to show what we fear most compared to where we are now.
Hydragas has laid out a Development Plan to install a series of 12 x 50 MW gas-extraction-to-power projects over 15 years
FAQs are provided for common questions on Lake Kivu and public perceptions of dangers it represents. Answers to more detailed questions from reviewers of the Management Prescriptions are provided too. Crazy questions got some carzy replies.
