Backward Integration Model of Ebonyi Oil Palm Refinery & Biomass Energy/Electric Generation - Driving The New Ebonyi SME Businesses with Biomass Off-Grid Power (Electricity) Generation

Under our leadership as #EbonyiState Governor.

Working with resourceful and competent #EbonyBest team, we will set up an Oil Palm Refining Facility using a PPP Model, leveraging on CBN agric credit or multilateral donor funds to establish integrated oil palm processing facility.

This facility when operational, will utilize all waste to generate 24/7 electricity via biomass digester to run the oil palm mill and light up the host community.

This venture will position us for export capability of not less than 100 metric tons of oil palm weekly.

We envisage this venture will generate more than 1mill usd monthly for Ebonyi State and employ over 10,000 persons from outgrower to processing.

We have the #ideas, the human resources and the creativity to pull our people out of poverty.

The biomass resource appraisal identified that an annual target of approximately 11,000 GWh can be delivered from an equivalent of about 1845 MW of installed capacity of Biomass Digesting Plant.

This is based on current and anticipated energy market conditions & policies in the country that will allow us to invest in this.
*Our Agricultural related waste material (rice milling husk, oil palm refinery by-products) place us on strategic positioning to actualize this vision
