The current generated was too small that it can only charge a rechargeable lantern, after school I even forgot I did project. Naija hardship came striking. some hotels use it like I heard, in large scale. So you can browse about it. It’s cheaper

Hello, I would like to know more about it. Any reference?

I have studied Renewable Energy for my years, its benefit and tremendous impact on the climate. However, i will advice Africa and Nigeria in particular never to adopt Renewable Energy in its totality. See, It will slow down our industrialization and impede our growth. The West and China grew their economy on Fossil Fuel. Africa should be allowed to grow.

We can maximize our Fossil energy while introducing R.E in parts and phases over decades. If we toll the part of the larger Europe and Liberal America with the hoax of climate change, we will be doomed economically and industrially.

Richdad

so you think fossil fuel generation issa new idea?
so it's not renewable too?
so, what's the uniqueness of an innovation that's of non renewable energy..?

take it or leave it, it's a great feat attained! More of innovations like this, will improve man's environment

honestly, so Many innovations circumvent this area Moreso, renewable energy plus leading environmental friendly setting and health improvement
I have an innovation harnessed from the power of energy..Energy is really indispensable!!!!

The University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) on Tuesday set the record of electricity generation by using organic waste to install 100KVA Refuse Drived Fuel (RDF) gasification plant for its Nsukka Campus.

Prof Benjamin Ozumba, UNN Vice-Chancellor, who expressed happiness over the project during its inauguration, said the university would no longer be a customer to Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC).

He said the project was first of its kind in Nigeria and described it as another feather added to the cap of the institution.

“I am happy that the university under my watch has witnessed innovations and transformation, as today another feather has been added to the cap of my administration.

“This is the first of its kind in the country, using of waste to generate electricity.

“By the time more of the plants are produced that will cover every part of the university, millions of naira will be saved every month, as UNN will longer pay monthly electricity bill to EEDC, ” he said.

The VC also commended Prof Emenike Ejiogu-led research team that produced the RDF gas plant.

In his remark, Ejiogu from the Department of Electrical Engineering applauded Ozumba on his belief of making record-breaking innovations to transform UNN.

“The 100 KVA RDF project is designed and fabricated by laboratory of industrial power devices and energy system under the special grant by Ozumba.

“The aim is to enable UNN to generate its own electricity with organic waste that will serve as fuel,” he said.

The Japan-trained engineer said his research team was set to produce 250KVA plants, which will supply the energy need of the entire university and its environ.

“UNN power demand now is 3mgwats, so with twelve 250KVA of RDF plants, we will meet electricity supply need of the university,” he said.

He said on request, his research team was ready to install the RDF plants to any individual, company or office who needed it.

“It is cheaper and can carry more loads than solar energy installation.

“With RDF plant in your house or office, it will carry your air-condition, deep freezers, pressing iron and other things in your house, office or company,” he said.

Ejiogu listed some of the organic waste that could be used as waste materials to power the plant to include: agricultural byproducts such as corn husks, wood chips among others.

He said the plant would create employment for many people through supplying of waste to UNN or other people who would be using the plant,” he said.

Some UNN staff in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) described the innovation as one of the greatest legacies of Ozumba.

Weldone, when developed world is thinking of greenhouse effect, we are still using combustion method to generate power

Would have sent to you the work but unfortunately I don’t have the laptop with me here. But there r lots of work about it in the internet, it’s understandable too. Browse about it and watch some YouTube vids too

Even Nigerian Universities don't know the difference between renewable & non-renewable. That is non-renewable, after use what next?

You are the one who doesn't know the difference between renewable and non renewable energy.
Renewable simply means that the earth or eco system continues to replenish that particular raw material.
Fossil fuels like coal, gas, crude oil... are non renewable energy sources because they will eventually finish in the earths crust.
But as long as as there are living things on this planet, bio waste will keep being produced.

Ok, can u remember any of the material used? If possible share some of ur reference.

Biomass/gas is non-renewable. You can't replenish it relatively after use. Do your research well.

The day cometh and tis nigh when Nigerian authorities will beg the citizens, cap in hand, to patronize centrally generated power. But the citizens will laugh hysterically in there face, just as the powers that be currently laugh in the citizens faces.

Yes it's not being directly replenished, when compared with counterparts like wind and solar(im sure you're comparing them) .. but the fact is that Bio waste is continually being produced by the eco system, so technically, it is Renewable �

Okay. I will research more about it in Nigeria. Thanks.

Hence, it's non-renewable like Fossil Fuels which are continually being produced by the eco system through regular decay of organic matter! "Bio mass/gas is non-renewable," it can also generate Nuclear Energy which is ineffective(inefficient) & non renewable.
