NIGERIA HAS ENOUGH BIOMASS CAPACITY TO PROVIDE ELECTRICITY

Mr Micheal Kotter, the Chief Executive Officer, International Bio gas and Bio energy Center of Competence (IBBK) Germany says Nigeria has enough biomass capacity to provide its electricity.
Kotter said this at the workshop on bio gas technical presentation organised by the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA) on Thursday in Abuja. He said that even though it was his first visit to the country, he observed that Nigeria has a lot of biomass that could be channeled into the production of electricity and for organic fertiliser for agricultural purposes. Kotter said that invasive plants in some environments that destroy farmlands could also be turned to biogas by mixing it with dung to produce energy.
He said that a country as big as Nigeria should be producing far more energy for its citizens to use through the cheap and efficient means of biogas production. Kotter however cautioned that not all waste was good enough for efficient production of electricity, adding that fresh and newly generated waste produce better bio gas.

CLIMATE ACTION GROUP: CATCH THEM YOUNG.

Image
 The Climate Action Group,  an NGO in Nigeria focused on environment and climate change has recently launched a program tagged 'Catch Them Young'. This program as expressed in writing on their Facebook handle is all about involving children in taking action for Climate change towards mitigating the adverse effects of Climate change on our environment for sustainable development.  The project aims at orienting and sensitizing children in primary and junior secondary schools on what climate change deforestation and indiscriminate cutting down of trees are all about and their effect on the environment, also make the children know the importance of tree planting, empower and induce the culture of tree planting exercise in children as the leaders of tomorrow and have an eco-friendly environment where both the present and future generations will enjoy and protect. I think this is a step in the right direction in ensuring sustainable development in green growth. see more pictures belo
