“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.”
