Innovation & Circularity: Waste to Wealth in Mobility & Renewable energy

The development of the transportation & Energy infrastructure in Nigeria has not been following the population growth making congested urban mobility one of the main issues the country faces especially Lagos as well as loss of economic potentials from the inadequate energy supplies. On the other hand, Nigeria produces an estimation of 32 million tons of solid waste per year, with only about 20-30 percent of it being collected and managed correctly. The country, especially Lagos is looking at innovative solutions to the waste but for it to also act as a complementary alternative solution to the problems of energy especially in view of the potentials for states to generate their own energies and the development of 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.
