Banana skins and other fruit waste could be used as biogas in Nigeria
In 2013, the state government partnered with Midori Environmental Solutions (MES), a Lagos-based environmental company, to explore the possibilities of converting waste from the market into electricity using a biogas system.
Food leftovers would be ground into paste and then broken down by bacteria in a biodigester, releasing biogas in the process. Once filtered, the gas would fuel a generator and produce enough electricity for up to 50 stalls and lock-up shops. The market produces 5,000 tonnes of waste a day – and the traders were more than happy to give this to the generator instead of paying to have it taken away. (origo)
