The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has launched and distributed 3,000 efficient energy stoves-believed to save 40 per cent of cooking time and are environment-friendly- for women, Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs) and flood victims.

During the launch, Prof. Mohammad Sani Haruna, Executive Vice Chairman/ Chief Executive of NASENI, said that the stoves lessen hazardous emissions, stop desertification and preserve the nation’s climate while using agricultural waste as fuel.

He announced that the stoves would be given to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management & Social Development for distribution to IDPs.

He said: “This agency has launched and will distribute 3,000 units of the NASENI-Atmosfair Save 80 Energy Efficient Stove, jointly designed and manufactured by NASENI and Atmosfair to reduce harmful emissions, reduce desertification and, hence save our climate. There is also over forty per cent (40 per cent) saving in cooking time and environment-friendly compared to firewood and charcoal fueling methods, with increasing energy efficiency,” he said.

He stated that the usage of energy-efficient cooking stoves has a very significant potential for emission reduction when taking into account Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets for emission reduction by 2030.

“This Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) will improve the agency’s eco-friendliness and carbon footprint, a positive contribution to climate change and service to humanity,” he said. “NASENI has invented many renewable technologies to help the nation to meet the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal No.7”.

Speaking further, he said that NASENI hitherto had made several efforts in renewable energy technologies including biomass, wind energy and Solar Module Manufacturing Plant at Karshi, Abuja, Nigeria.

On her part, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Hajiya Sadiya Farouq, said that the launch of the stove would address the issue of climate change and vulnerability, adding that the invention would also stop most women, especially those in IDP camps from going to the forest to search for firewood and getting attacked by bandits.
