What this project will fund
A 200-tonne-per-day waste processing facility producing biogas, compost and recycled materials for industrial reuse.
An integrated waste-management facility in the Epe industrial corridor of Lagos, processing 200 tonnes of municipal and industrial waste daily into biogas, organic compost and recyclable pellets. Revenue comes from gate fees, energy sales to a nearby industrial park and compost offtake agreements.
Project highlights
- 200 tonnes/day processing capacity
- Biogas generation for captive industrial park use
- 15-year waste-supply contract with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA)
- Carbon credits registered under Verra methodology
