In Nigeria, Kogi Reports reported that the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) has encouraged Nigerians to embrace the integration of Jatropha and Cassava for biogas production to strengthen energy security, create jobs, reduce waste, protect the environment, and drive rural economic growth.
This call was made by the Director-General/CEO of ECN, Abdullahi Mustapha.
He stated that Jatropha seeds contain up to 40% oil, making it a powerful resource for biofuel production, while Cassava residues can be converted into biogas.
“This integration offers several benefits, including sustainable land use, diversified income streams, environmental protection, and energy security.
He assured that the Commission is ready to work with policymakers, investors, farmers, and researchers to make this vision a reality.
