INTRODUCTION- Bio-2-Watts

• kick-started in 2015 with two off grid communities in

Kuje Area Council of Abuja, Nigeria - Riji and Kuwizhi

villages.

• Completion timeline of August 2016

• 124m3 Bio-Digester

• Generation Capacity of 20KW

THE FACTS

93million (The economist) people without access to

grid electricity from a population of 173.6 (World bank)

Electricity generation capacity fluctuates

between 1500MW-4500MW

In *Kuje Area Council alone we are

surrounded by 260 off-grid villages. *Kuje is one of the Six Area Councils in Abuja

500 metric tonnes of organic waste

generated daily within the immediate

project site.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Energy poverty in rural off-grid communities with dire consequences on productivity and the quality of life of the populace.

Bio-degradable waste landfilling from residential, commercial sources. Animal and crop waste landfilling from commercial farms and farming communities.

BUSINESS MODEL

Input – waste

Consultancy Services

The process generates electricity and liquid fertilizer

BUSINESS ECONOMICS

• Current monthly energy expenditure per household equal $20.04 to cater for their basal energy needs i.e. power mobile phones, batteries for flashlights and cooking wood/ fuel

• Projected monthly tariff via biogas equal $15 to provide electricity to power Tv, charge mobile phones, run refrigerator, power bulbs

• Kuje Off-grid Target market of 15,600HH * $15 *12 = $2,808,000

• That is $2.8Million a year service gap for the most basic of energy needs

IMPACT • Access to basic social services i.e. Automated

water system, Community Security enhanced, Health care center operated 24hrs

• Reduction in post harvest losses

• Capacity building of youths in biogas technologies

• Deploying of healthier cooking stove

• Value addition to agricultural products

• Reduction of Green House Gases (GHG)
