He added that the Dangote Group had invested much in modern equipment such as analyzers, opacimeters, and other continuous emissions monitoring systems used to measure greenhouse gas emissions in real time.

Chiejina pointed out that the company’s climate goals extended beyond just reduction of emissions but also to protecting and regenerating the environment, through land reclamation and tree planting.

She added that: “The AF project aims to achieve a thermal substitution rate of 25% in all plants by 2025.

“We are working towards installing AF feeding systems in all our operation lines by 2024.”

According to her: “The resources utilized for fuels currently at the DCP Obajana include tyre chips, waste oils, and agricultural waste such as palm kernel shells and rice husks.

“We are also undergoing technical studies on the use of refuse-derived fuels (RDF) as a fuel source.

” Between January and July 2023, we’ve consumed over 34,800 metric tonnes of alternative fuel materials for our operations.”

She said so far, the company’s climate action activities include: monitoring of water, waste, and GHG emissions, creation of a decarbonisation working group, and following the guidelines of both local and international organisations.

He said only recently the Dangote Academy planted economic trees which included mangoes, soursup, dates and orange trees among others.
