Innovative Waste to Wealth in Mobility and Energy

The development of the transportation and energy infrastructure in Nigeria needs to follow the population growth, making congested urban mobility one of the country's main issues, especially Lagos, and loss of economic potential from inadequate energy supplies. On the other hand, Nigeria produces an estimated 32 million tons of solid waste annually, with only about 20-30 per cent of it collected and managed correctly. The country, especially Lagos, is looking at innovative solutions to the waste but for it to act as a complementary alternative solution to the energy problems, especially because of the potential for states to generate their energies and develop sustainable urban transportation. Discussion with key stakeholders (regulators and key companies) on adaptable solutions i.e. biodiesel, biogas etc, systems and partnership with the Nordics that are using similar multi-dimensional technologies.
