The Federal Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation has announced that it was partnering with the Nigeria Energy Dialogue (NED) to unveil the Methanol Fuel Production Technology.

The disclosure was made by the Executive Director of NED, Frank Edozie, at the ongoing 2023 Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation Expo on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, in Abuja.

Edozie said that the partnership would drive the country’s vision for clean, safe and available energy and would be a revolution simplified by technology, adding that the technology converts gas methanol to hydrogen fuel cells for multiple uses across the energy space in Nigeria.

He said that methanol is a transportable energy that can be used to power industries, rural electrification and household energy with a multiplier effect on the economy through job creation.

“We don’t see this as an alternative; it will eventually become the main source of energy because it is green and accessible,” he said. “The more it is deployed, the cheaper it becomes until it gets better current cost of energy,”.

The director said that this was coming at a time Nigeria was almost completing the construction of the Brass Methanol plant, in partnership with Sun Hydro Energy Limited and Clean Energy Resources.

Other speakers at the expo lauded the development as they believe the Methanol Fuel technology implementation would assist Nigeria to achieve its obligation under the Paris agreement and the project would not only reduce global warming in various sectors of the economy by reducing hydrocarbon emission footprints it would also help generate cheap quality affordable clean and trusted energy to power the rural areas in Nigeria.
