Very ambitious but they should look at the feasibility. To generate 25MW of electricity from waste; you will need 400,000 tonnes of waste an hour to be fed into the system and This is using fluidized bed technology. Other technologies are less efficient and you get less energy. So imagine the amount of waste needed to generate 1000 MW. There is also competition for the suitable waste( waste with high calorific content) that the system needs. Plastics already being collected by pickers and used tyres. All they have left is organic waste and household waste which i doubt would be enough. Anyway lets watch and see

Oh lord!!!!! Finally


Was beginning to think about when Nigeria would adopt this technique of generating electricity!

Nigeria would be great again

Gowon started this saying since 1970s and till today we his life remain one bar, we are still saying be same thing.

Meanwhile Kenya is doing wonderful things, we are only making Nigeria great by words of mouth

ODVanguard:


I want to think that the experts involved in the project have done the requisite feasibility studies before arriving at the stated capacity. Also, bear in mind that in the last released report by an international organization, Waste Atlas (
http://www.atlas.d-waste.com/Documents/Waste-Atlas-report-2014-webEdition.pdf ), Ibadan alone was found to have two out of the largest waste dump sites in Nigeria (top 5), and also featured amongst the top 50 largest in the world -- for sometime now the city has produced increasing numbers of millionaires from amongst individuals operating within the waste management space. So it may indeed be feasible to generate that much energy from all that waste.

VoltageDivida:
We hope this project doesn't happen only on paper.

Perhaps that could be their business model. After all, you don't need to produce crude oil to own a viable refinery -- crude can always be imported to feed the facility.

hmmm, it may even get to a time that they will need to pay for a waste

natznext:


What we need to be is 'better than what we were yesterday' not better than Kenya..

Do you know about the Lagos railway project and the Oshodi Ultramodern transport interchange

The Lagos railway they have used as an avenue for siphoning funds for straight 5 years.

You Lagosians claim over "woke" but can't ask what they used all the funds from over taxation to do.


By the way, Kenya's rail way line is from one end of the country to another, not a metropolitan rail line.

Benekruku:
Ekiti state can generate more than that if the waste coming out of Fayose's mouth can be judiciously utilised!

Redman36:
we can always use d senators.

as an engineer when I hear of such a thing especially by foreign companies to Africa I get angry , somebody ask that they must have done feasibility study , yes but because they think that we don't know any thing, they don't make use of it. this is just like an American firm that came to lagos 2 years ago saying that they will extract hydrogen and oxygen from air , combining it to form water , my people river niger and river benue plus smaller streams and water bodies we don drink am finish?
waste to energy is all about producing methane gas which is refined and used to fire gas turbines.
Brasil have the biggest waste to energy company , the pit is up to 2 football field and more than 100 meters depth , so u can imagine the waste that will be used to fill it.
In nigeria we have one of the biggest gas deposit that is free , we no fit use am, na to produce gas before use we go fit, rubbish
