The Federal Government has affirmed its readiness to deploy biogas for electricity generation nationwide.
The Head of Department of Environmental Biotechnology and Bio- conservation Department, National Biotechnology Development Agency, NABDA, Gloria Obioh who stated this in Abuja said the government fabricated bio-digesters adapted to local conditions to generate about twenty thousand megawatts through conversion of organic wastes.
She expressed optimism that the bio-digesters produced by NABDA for electricity generation, would also create jobs and raise the country’s Gross Domestic Product, GDP.
According to Obioh, apart from enhancing food security through the utilisation of bio-fertilizer to boost soil fertility, it will also create jobs across all value chains including digester fabrication, energy generation, waste management, bio-fertilizer production among others
