EcoGen Biogas Solutions Ltd. (proposed) is committed to providing sustainable and reliable renewable energy solutions in Lagos State by converting agricultural, municipal, and organic waste into clean biogas and high-quality organic fertilizer. We strive to reduce environmental pollution, improve energy security, and support local economic development by leveraging state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion technology.

1.2 Vision Statement

To be the leading waste-to-energy enterprise in Nigeria, driving a transition to clean energy and circular waste management, empowering communities, and contributing to a healthier environment for future generations.

1.6 Market Opportunity

Nigeria’s energy sector has chronic supply challenges, frequent outages, and high cost of diesel. Lagos State alone generates hundreds of thousands of tonnes of organic waste annually (household, commercial, agricultural). Converting this waste into biogas addresses energy scarcity while reducing landfill load, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental pollution — positioning EcoGen as a strategic and profitable player in renewable energy and waste management.

1.8 Startup Cost and Funding Requirement

Total estimated startup capital: ₦650–₦780 million

Recommended initial funding: ₦780 million Funding mix: Equity + Debt + Grants
