Pan-Atlantic University Joins Forces with CESEL and University of Lincoln to Advance Biogas Production in Nigeria

In an ambitious move to tackle Nigeria’s energy challenges, Pan-Atlantic University has partnered with the Clean Energy Solutions and Education Ltd (CESEL) and the University of Lincoln, UK, on a pioneering project aimed at revolutionizing biogas production. Supported by a £219,000 Innovate UK grant, the collaboration will establish advanced biodigesters to convert poultry waste into renewable biogas at a large poultry farm in Aikun, Osun State.

This project addresses Nigeria’s energy needs while promoting environmental sustainability by replacing traditional biodigester models with modern, more efficient systems. The goal is to provide renewable energy while reducing the environmental impact of poultry waste.

Dr. Patrick Tolani, CEO of CESEL, emphasized the project’s significance, noting, “This grant provides a unique opportunity to showcase a pathway toward environmental sustainability in Nigeria’s agricultural and renewable energy sectors. With Nigeria’s potential to generate 25,000 megawatts of electricity from biogas, as per the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), this project can contribute significantly to addressing the nation’s energy deficit and fostering economic growth.”

Dr. Norbert Edomah, Associate Professor of Energy Systems & Policy at Pan-Atlantic University, highlighted the potential for local empowerment and sustainable energy practices, stating, “This knowledge transfer partnership aims at developing local competencies and innovative solutions to meet local energy needs through biogas from agricultural and animal waste for electricity generation and other uses.”

The initial prototype will be developed at Pan-Atlantic University, with plans to scale up the technology at the Osun State farm. Real-time monitoring sensors will be integrated, setting a new standard for energy efficiency and innovation in Nigeria.

This collaboration exemplifies a commitment to sustainability and technological advancement, with Pan-Atlantic University, CESEL, and the University of Lincoln working together toward a greener, more prosperous future for Nigeria.
