We wholeheartedly congratulate the Abia State government and Geometric Power, the administrators of the Aba Independent Power Plant, on the successful launch of this project. We firmly believe that the consistent energy supply provided by this plant will motivate existing and prospective businesses in Aba Industrial City to adopt new technologies, expand their horizons, and foster economic growth. Our organization stands ready to support this growth and contribute to the flourishing opportunities that arise from it. The Aba Independent Power Plant (IPP) represents a groundbreaking, self-sufficient, and comprehensive energy solution in Nigeria. It features a 141 MW gas-fired power plant, a 27-kilometer gas pipeline, and a distribution utility, all integrated within a self-contained electrical network. This embedded electricity system independently generates and distributes its power supply. This remarkable venture is spearheaded by Professor Bartholomew Nnaji, a distinguished Nigerian scientist and inventor, known for co-creating the E-Design concept. He has established Nigeria's first indigenous-owned power-generating company and previously served as the country's Minister of Science and Technology. The project's success also owes much to the efforts of Professor Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. #ipp #powergeneration #electricity #Aba #businesshub #nigerianbusiness #enterpreneurship #innovation #industrialmanufacturing #Abia Orji Okpechi NKWACHI ABUKA Victor Osifo

My participation in the Namibia Oil and Gas conference 2023 was an important event that gathers industry professionals, experts, and stakeholders to discuss the latest developments, opportunities, and challenges in the oil and gas sector in Namibia. The conference served as a platform for sharing insights on exploration, production, technology, environmental sustainability, and regulatory aspects related to the oil and gas industry in the region. It provided me a unique opportunity for networking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration, helping to shape the future of Namibia's oil and gas. My key focus was local content and local content in Namibia's oil and gas sector cannot be overstated. By prioritizing local content, Namibia aims to maximize the socio-economic benefits of its natural resources. Entrepreneurs in Namibia needs to position themselves and invest in the necessary training and certification to provide international standard service delivery. Quality and on time service delivery is key in the Oil and Gas industry and there is no room for compromise. info@drinam.com #Oilandgasnamibia #Entrepreneur #localcontent #Namibia

Renewable energy and the use of mini grids are the solution for providing electricity in a sustainable manner to undeserved and rural communities. This will remove the dependency on the national grid as the only transmission source. A job well done to Rural Electrification Agency of Nigeria.

🚧 The government of South Africa is aiming to become an important supplier of green hydrogen to the global economy over the coming decade. Investment in the necessary production, storage, transport and export facilities will boost construction activity. 💼 The government plans to develop a new port in the Northern Cape province to facilitate green hydrogen and strategic minerals trade. In August 2023, Maersk, Port of Rotterdam, Bouygues SA and Yapi Merkezi were among the key companies asked to submit construction and funding plans to South Africa’s Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) for a new USD2.6 billion deep-water port of Boegoebaai and associated rail links. ♻ Ample wind and solar power potential on South Africa’s arid west coast is expected to generate large amounts of renewable energy needed to produce green hydrogen for export to Europe and Asia. According to the government’s plans, Boegoebaai (located close to the Namibian border) will be the linchpin of South Africa’s green hydrogen production and export, enabling the country to reach its goal of a 4% global green hydrogen market share by 2050.

With energy costs steadily rising amidst continued grid instability, industries all over the country must be grappling with the difficulty of balancing operational costs, production efficiency and pricing. Finding that sweet, elusive middle must be a challenge. I know for sure that it is. There’s also the “small” matter of checking the volume of CO2 emissions that manufacturing naturally produces. In Kano, the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) is making good progress in extending support industries in the state. The objective? Help industries to: -Keep energy expenditure low. -Keep emissions to a minimum. -Bring down overall production costs. -Enhance operational performance. -Stay competitive with better pricing due to lower production expenses. Sounds like a great plan, and I’m excited for what the future holds.

Forschungszentrum Jülich has worked on a first assessment of green #hydrogen potential in the Western African context: current projects and initiative in the region were mapped and an area of interest for a potential hydrogen industry was identified. The assessment was based on open-access sources (especially the H2Atlas web tool) and took into account production potential, expected socio-economic impacts and framework indicators (e.g., infrastructure, policies), concluding that a macro region that includes Ghana and its neighbors may offer a significant potential both in terms of production and local demand of green hydrogen. Moreover, a more delimited area between Ghana and Togo was selected as a first case study to model because of its production potential, electrical grid #infrastructure and the presence of a main port. JULICH has also expanded its team through the integration of two students of the WASCAL International Master Program in #Energy and #GreenHydrogen (IMP-EGH). Their work focuses on the assessment of hydrogen applications in Africa and the analysis of #energydemand in Ghana, thereby allowing for synergies between the IEK-STE work for JGA and its role within the IMP-EGH. #justgreenafrh2ica #eu #au
