Plans are underway in Kano state, Nigeria to produce 150 MW of electricity from waste. This was announced by Capegate Investment Limited, a Nigerian-based company that specializes in Biotechnology and Waste management, approximately three months after it signed a 20-year public-private partnership with the Kano State Government and took over waste management in the state.

Speaking on the aforementioned plans, Bello Abba Yakasai, the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) said that next year, they will generate 10 megawatts of electricity and in the next five years, depending on how the typology of waste changes, will yield to 150 megawatts for Kano and Jigawa.

A part of a larger waste recycling plan
According to the Capegate Investment COO, the plan to produce 150 MW of electricity from waste in Kano is a part of a larger plan where the company intends to establish three major industries.

“One of the industries is what we call a transfer station. This is where all the wastes including plastic, metals, and aluminium among others, will be sorted. The sorted out waste will be recycled or transformed into other products. High-density plastic (HDP) and tires would be converted into burnable oil, while low-density plastic would be converted into shopping bags, water bottles, and other relevant products.”

“The next phase is the diversification industry. In here we will be converting biodegradable waste to produce gas and create steel, which in turn, would be processed into turbines to produce electricity. Under this phase/industry, we hope to facilitate the generation of at least 10 megawatts of electricity before the end of next year (2022),” explained Mr. Yakasai.

In the third industry food waste and bio-waste would be turned into organic fertilizer, which is safer health-wise on crops and human consumption.

Good.

Those states with an abundance of waste should follow suit ASAP.

Don't waste your waste.

lagos should emulate this...the amount of waste generated by lagos alone can supply electricity for the whole of nigeria. i am sure some people would have pushed it to the government but because of no long leg, the project wouldn't actualize.

In this Buhari regime?

Every time Nigeria to this, Nigeria to that!!

We are tired of these bullish!t called HAYPEECEE and the Fulani Led Government!! It’s enough!!!

Electricity that we can't transmit.

like someone said, nothing works under the lifeless one

Zobo!

oh.

Another avenue to waste Nigerian Money

The ones we have been producing have we enjoyed it??

Na today same old story

Oga Dave Umahi , please sir may you look into that Biko

Government of lies and unfulfilled promises.....I'm sure Air Nigeria is flying all over the world.

Anyways I pray this works out for Kano state this new VAT regime presents a bleak prospect going forward.

First things first are u sure we produce enough waste that's collectable in an economically viable way that can generate this much power

Na so una make dangote waste money build tomato factory yet no economically viable tomatoes supply to run the factory

If he has invested in 50 modular tomatoes past production plant on trucks ...he could move place to place and process on the farm or market easily and efficiently

But dangote is not a business man na just government help

Why post things like this before implementation of the project. I believe it should be made public after the project has seen it's success or after it has actually been carried out.

See upgrade

Until when I see am korokoro eye like dis if not

Lol.... Another story....
