In this project, we are integrating 2 well-established technologies (solar photovoltaic power and biomethane from biodigestion of waste biomass) to create a 24-hours all-weather electricity supply microgrid that will tackle the colossal lack of access to energy in Nigeria. Also, we are conducting market analysis and developing business plans for the viable and affordable deployment of the project outcome and for future scale-up beyond the project.With an average of <6hrs/day of electricity supply in Amosun village (same across Nigeria), our contribution to increasing the supply of electricity means that domestic and commercial consumers can save an estimated $14 billion/year used to power 14 GW of small-scale diesel and petrol generating sets. Furthermore, our waste-to-energy anaerobic digestion system will help to process food and agricultural waste that will otherwise pollute the environment, into clean renewable energy (24hrs) for \>10,000 traders and residence.We have access the affordability of potential end-users and the socio-economic viability of the ISABET energy platform and will leverage on the intrinsic waste-to-energy approach of the ISABET system to match the affordability of Nigerians. The smart integration of this microgrid allows us to accurately measure loading and generation capacity of ISABET and to effectively plan for expansion into neighbouring communities.However, new COVID-19 regulations and safety protocols has prevented us from collocating our equipment within the buildings at the Central Abattoir at Amosun, Ibadan, Nigeria as originally planned. This has led to additional unbudgeted costs to provide a control and equipment room as well as the cabling connections to link it to the solar and bioenergy plants.Furthermore, we have lost a key member of our team to COVID-19 which led to unexpected increased cost for bring on-board specialist scientific/engineering support for project implementation.Therefore, additional financial support through this resilience grant will reduce the current challenges (due to Covid-19 induced relocation and loss of personnel) of implementing the systems integration between the solar and bioenergy components.The use of biomethane as an alternative to gasoil is expected to improve local air quality, with regards to NOx and particulate matter. We will reduce Nigeria's dependence on highly polluting diesel and petrol powered electricity generators. By generating electricity with solar power instead of fossil fuels, we can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2).Reliable electricity supply from the ISABET system will improved street and community lighting which will enhance security in Amosun village.

在这个项目中，我们整合了两种成熟的技术（太阳能光伏发电和生物质废物生物消化产生的生物甲烷），以创建一个24小时全天候供电的微电网，这将解决尼日利亚能源短缺的问题。此外，我们正在进行市场分析，并制定业务计划，以实现项目成果的可行和可负担的部署，并在项目之后扩大规模。（整个尼日利亚也是如此），我们在增加电力供应方面的贡献，意味着住宅和商业用户可节省约140亿元。一年用于为14 GW小型柴油和汽油发电机组供电。此外，我们的废物能源厌氧消化系统将有助于处理食品和农业废物，否则会污染环境，成为清洁的可再生能源（24小时），000名贸易商和居住地。我们可以获得潜在最终用户的负担能力和ISABET能源平台的社会经济可行性，并将利用固有的废物处理能力ISABET系统的能源方法，以满足埃塞俄比亚人的负担能力。然而，新的COVID-19法规和安全协议阻止我们按原计划将设备配置在尼日利亚伊巴丹Amosun中央屠宰场的建筑物内。这导致了额外的预算外成本，以提供控制和设备室，以及电缆连接，将其连接到太阳能和生物能源工厂。此外，我们失去了我们的团队的一名关键成员，COVID-19，这导致了意外增加的成本，使船上的专家科学/工程支持项目的实施。因此，通过这一复原力赠款提供的额外财政支持将减少当前的挑战（由于新型冠状病毒引起的搬迁和人员损失）实施太阳能和生物能源组件之间的系统集成。使用生物甲烷作为汽油的替代品，预计将改善当地的空气质量，关于氮氧化物和颗粒物。我们将减少尼日利亚对高污染柴油和汽油发电机的依赖。通过使用太阳能发电而不是化石燃料发电，我们可以大大减少温室气体排放，特别是二氧化碳（CO2）。ISABET系统的可靠电力供应将改善街道和社区照明，从而提高Amosun村的安全性。
