By Faridat Salifu

 

A Swedish firm, Renetech Renewable Energy Technologies may soon establish a biogas plant in Lagos to enhance clean energy solutions across the state.

 

This initiative was revealed in a statement by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) recently.

 

The announcement, according to the statement, follows a meeting held at LASEPA headquarters, where representatives from Renetech, including Chloe Champlong, David Bauner, and Tom Walsh, engaged with officials from LASEPA and the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).

 

The discussions centered on the potential establishment of biogas plants as part of the government’s commitment to cleaner energy.

 

The biogas project is currently in the feasibility study phase and represents a collaborative effort among Renetech, LAMATA, LASEPA, and other stakeholders.

 

Surveys and questionnaires have been distributed to ensure the project aligns with Lagos State’s goals of safety, effectiveness, and environmental sustainability.

 

Renetech and its partners are dedicated to fostering a cleaner and more environmentally friendly Lagos, positioning the state as a leader in sustainable urban development.

 

Key topics of discussion included the challenges in adopting biogas technology, where participants identified barriers to implementation and strategies to overcome them.

 

The sustainability of the project was a focal point, with an emphasis on ensuring the biogas initiative provides long-term environmental and economic benefits for Lagos State.

 

The necessity of thorough feasibility studies was underscored, aiming to evaluate the technical, economic, and social aspects of the project to confirm its viability.

 

Stakeholders also discussed capacity building, highlighting the importance of training personnel for effective management and maintenance of the biogas facilities once operational.

 

The meeting covered plant design and construction, as well as the application of biogas as a clean fuel alternative for LAMATA buses and its potential for electricity generation to meet the state’s energy demands.
