Scientists have welcomed the use of water hyacinth to generate energy amid the near financial closure of a $250 million (around Sh26 billion) biogas plant in Homa Bay County that will make use of the problematic weed.
Researchers from the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (Kemfri) say the idea is a useful way to tackle the plant whose eradication from the shores of Lake Victoria is still a mirage.
