Zero Organic Waste Project

Long description

Due to “energy-poverty,” communities and businesses in rural Africa have become Co2-emission points. With total dependence on unclean energy for cooking and electricity, rural settlements and businesses daily generate high amount of co2-emission from firewood stoves and diesel-powered engines. Firstly, diesel-powered combustion engine accounts for over 80% of the Nigeria electricity; this contribute to the production of ground-level ozone which damages vegetation. Studies have linked this emission with acid rain which affects soil, lakes and streams. Secondly, over according to FAO, over 1 billion trees were cut down in 2021 for cooking, making Nigeria the only country in the world with the highest rate of secondary deforestation. With the current global energy crisis, the Nigerian Ministry of Environment estimated that over 2 billion trees or more will be cut down for heat energy in 2023 in Nigeria – this might double the 127 million tonnes of Co2-emission the country generated in 2021. D-Olivette Global Enterprise is using its awards-winning innovations to make homes, farms and businesses circular — it builds domestic and smart digesters that transforms household and farm organic waste into clean energy and more food. According to the German Government-owned Stitching Corporation report, D-Olivette helped mitigate the emission of 1,980 tons of Co2eq and created alternative energy, therefore ensuring over 100,000 trees were not cut down for firewood in 2021. D-Olivette’s innovation also fermented about 70,000 mt of organic waste into biogas (for clean cooking and electricity) plus organic-fertilizer. D-Olivette seeks to mitigate 50,000 tons of Co2eq by
