Improving Nigeria’s Industrial Energy Performance & Resource Efficient Cleaner Production through Programmatic Approaches & the Promotion of Innovation in Clean Technology Solutions

The aim of the project is to accelerate the adoption of Industrial Energy Efficiency (IEE) and enhance the environmental performance of businesses under the broader framework of best practices and innovative approaches to Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production (RECP) within selected medium and large-scale industrial enterprises in Nigeria. This will not only promote industrial energy efficiency and optimization, material, water, and chemical efficiency, and cleaner production but also contribute to ecological sustainability, improved access to energy, and enhanced economic performance of the companies.

STENUM is responsible for training in Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP). RECP addresses three dimensions of sustainability:

Production efficiency, emphasizing the optimization of the productive use of natural resources – materials, chemicals, energy, and water;
Environmental management, which focuses on minimizing impacts on the environment and nature by reducing waste and emissions; and
Social improvement, aiming to minimize industrial/chemical risks to the well-being of workers and communities.

In this project, STENUM will develop curricula for academic courses at:

• University of Abuja
  Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, Delta State
  University of Lagos
  Bayero University Kano
