Background I: Demand and Market Volume in Africa
5New Investment in Clean energy in Sub-Saharan Africa 2004-15 ($bn); Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance
SSA: 13% of the world’s population, but only 4% of its energy demand
Since 2000 energy use has risen by 45%
Only 290 out of 915 million people have access to electricity
80% rely on traditional use of solid biomass, mainly fuelwood, for cooking
Modern renewables account for less than2% of the primary energy mix
Annual investment in the range of double-digit billion US$
is required per year annum to meet Africa’s energy needs

SThere are very few processed
products from biomass in
Nigeria.
The high usage of firewood
and charcoal by over 80% of
the population is an indicator
of the huge potential for
pellets and briquettes for
heating and cooking in
Nigeria.
The increased awareness and

S• The cultivation of energy crops (elephant grass, miscanthus, eucalyptus, etc.)
will soon catch on in Nigeria.
• Best cultivation practises and farm management for such crops will be on the
increase in the next few years.
• Pellets & briquettes from energy crops can be a new source of biofuel.
A portion of these pellets can be torrefied or carbonized for export.
At Eongratis we see ourselves as
agents of social and economic
development. Our business will provide
clean energy, agri-business
development and waste management
which relates to better health, energy
independence and better food security.
In doing business, we give back to the
environment, to the society and to
ourselves.
PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
• Acquired 500 hectares of land for our
first stage cultivation of energy crops
in Nigeria.
• Development of biomass pellets for
residential, commercial and industrial
customers.
• Sourcing of hardware for biomass
usage
• Development of a power plant for

• WATER: THE AQUIFER LEVEL IN IKWO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA WHERE WE ARE SITUATED IS
VERY LOW BUT WE HAVE RECENTLY SURMOUNTED THIS CHALLENGE THROUGH THE DIGGING OF AN
INDUSTRIAL BOREHOLE BY LUFPANSA HYDRO LTD WHICH SPECIALIZE IN DIGGING BOREHOLE IN THE
DESERT REGION OF NIGER.
• FIREWOOD: BEFORE NOW, WE WERE CONSUMING HIGH LEVEL OF FIREWOOD IN OUR
FURNANCE, BOILLERS AND LOW TEMPERATURE DRYERS.
• WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE THIS IMPACT BY USING OUR HUSKS WITH THE FIREWOOD IN
FURNANCE AND BOILLER
• HOWEVER FOR THE POWER WE WILL SURMOUNT THE CHALLENGE IF WE CAN WITH THE RIGHT
PARTNER HARNESS THE BIOMASS POTENTIALS IN OUR FACTORY BY CONVERTING OUR
RICE HUSKS TO POWER.
OUR CHALLENGES
OUR CHALLENGES AND FUTURE UTILIZATION OF HUSKS IN THE FACTORY
• OUR PLANS IS TO ELIMINATE THE USE OF FIREWOOD AND UTILIZE ENTIRELY ALL OUR HUSKS IN OUR
FURNANCE, BOILLER AND LOW TEMPERATURE DRYERS.
• WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN INVESTOR WITH THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGY TO SURMOUNT THIS
CHALLENGE
• WE ARE EQUALLY LOOKING FOR AN INVESTOR THAT CAN PARTNER WITH US SO THAT OUR HUSKS
COULD BE CONVERTED TO POWER.
• THERE ARE ABUNDANCE OF HUSKS IN EBONYI STATE . SO WE CAN GET HUSKS FROM OTHER RICE
MILLERS IN THE STATES.
• THE NEXT PICTURE SHOWS THE HEAPS OF HUSKS IN ABAKALIKI.

FUTURE PLANS ON UTILIZATION OF PADDY AND HEAD RICE TO PRODUCE OTHER RICE PRODUCTS• WE HAVE TAKEN FURTHER PLANS NOT PRIMARILY TO PRODUCE HEAD RICE FOR THE
CONSUMERS BUT ALSO TO PRODUCE OTHER ALLIED PRODUCTS FROM RICE TO BE ABLE TO ADD
VALUE TO THE ECONOMY.
• WE HAVE RECENTLY ADDED EBONY GROUND FLOUR TO OUR PRODUCTS LINE. AND WE ARE
PLANNING TO RELEASE MULTIGRAIN GROUND FLOUR .
• OUR PLAN IS TO RECONVERT ALL OUR BY PRODUCTS AND OTHER RICE PRODUCTS AND BY
PRODUCTS FROM OTHER RICE MILLS INTO FUNCTIONAL FINISHED PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO KEY
IN TO THE DIVERSIFICATION INITIATIVES OF THE PRESIDENT BUHARI ADMINISTRATION TO

BANK PLC.
• WE ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER AREAS OF FINANCING AND WE WILL
EMBRACE OTHER FINANCIERS THAT WILL LIKE TO SUPPORT US IN OUR
AMBITIOUS PLANS TO INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS INTO THE
MARKET AND CONVERT RICE RESIDUES TO GENERATE ENERGY
CONCLUSION
• HUSK IS A VERY GOOD BIOMASS PRODUCT THAT CAN BE UTILIZED
FOR GENERATING POWER.
• IN THE FUTURE, WE HAVE THE PLANS TO SUSTAIN PRODUCTION OF
BRIQUETTES FROM OUR HUSKS AND TO UTILIZE SAME HUSKS TO
GENERATE POWER FOR THE FACTORY USE.
• OUR AIM IS TO UTILIZE AVAILABLE OTHER RICE MILLS GENERATED RICE
HUSK AS A SUSTAINABLY GROWN AND UN-UTILIZED WASTE BIOMASS
RESOURCE EFFECTIVELY FOR GENERATION OF STEAM AND THEREFROM
ELECTRICITY. THE ELECTRICITY THUS GENERATED WILL BE SOLD TO THE
STATE GRID (AFTER MEETING THE FACTORY AUXILIARY CONSUMPTION.
OUR ENGINEERING TEAM ARE PRESENTLY WORKING ON THE POSSIBILITY
OF UTILIZING HUSK TO GENERATE POWER FOR SMALL HOUSEHOLDS
