GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND POWER INVESTMENTS PLC was set up as an integrated energy player focused on gas infrastructure investments, clean energy manufacturing and electrification projects. The Consortium is comprised of European investor groups and Chinese State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), jointly working alongside local partners.
Buoyed by recent economic policy decisions in Nigeria, the Consortium hopes to partner with local domestic companies leveraging their strengths towards the development of global long-term energy needs. The decade of gas policy is expected to deliver 10 projects that would significantly impact the economy.
The proposed projects will attract over US$50 billion in foreign direct investment, raise the country’s revenue through royalties and taxes whilst also creating jobs. The decade of gas effort will ensure that gas would become the main source of energy in the country in the coming years.
WEST AFRICAN CLEAN ENERGY HUB (WACEH)
West African Clean Energy Hub (WACEH) will be a pioneering, well-planned, world class, industrial park that will be situated in West Africa. The West Africa Clean Energy Hub (WACEH - pronounced ‘WACKY’) is a 100+ Hectare industrial clean energy complex to be located in Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria. The Project will feature a scalable Gas to Power Generation project pipeline with generating capacity of up to 3600 MW alongside an Ammonia Processing Plant and Research Institute. The Ammonia Processing Plant will have an output capacity 450.000 MTPA). The WACEH will be looking to upgrade the surrounding sub stations and transmission infrastructure in collaboration with the state Grids to ensure that there is a co-ordinated capacity increase and seamless connectivity.
129 FLNG
In light of the current trend in the market towards more cost-effective LNG facilities with expedited delivery times due to the prevailing low LNG prices, Our Consortium is dedicating its efforts to exploring novel methodologies and inventive concepts. FLNG, with its distinct advantages over conventional onshore LNG plants, offers significant benefits. These include the diminishment of lengthy subsea pipelines from offshore gas reservoirs, a reduction in both infrastructure requirements and environmental impact, and the ability to be constructed in fabrication yards that are well-equipped and adept at assembling topsides modules and hulls. This unfettered construction environment not only enhances efficiency but also ensures the safety of the construction process for FLNG.
BRASS LNG
In response to the prevailing low LNG prices, the market is increasingly seeking cost-effective LNG plants with quicker delivery times. Our Consortium is placing emphasis on pioneering methods and inventive concepts to address this demand. FLNG, in comparison to onshore LNG plants, offers several key advantages: it diminishes the length of extensive subsea pipelines from offshore gas fields, reduces both infrastructure and environmental impact, and can be constructed in well-equipped fabrication yards with established facilities and practices for topsides modules and hull construction. This ensures both efficiency and safety in the construction process. Notably, WISON OFFSHORE, as the lead partner in the consortium, stands out as one of the select few PreFEED/FEED/EPC Contractors with the capability to provide comprehensive solutions for FLNG projects.
WAF PIPELINES & TERMINALS
The Consortium's expertise lies primarily in the midstream and downstream sectors of the natural gas industry. They demonstrate proficiency and central capabilities in areas such as the development of FLNG infrastructure, natural gas trading and logistics, establishment of Gas-to-Power networks, terminal infrastructure, and provision of engineering consulting services. Additionally, the strategically located Gas Infrastructure Networks surrounding the Clean Energy Hub will serve as an advantageous supplement to current and forthcoming provincial natural gas needs. This will result in a more varied gas supply portfolio for West Africa, bolstering energy security and enhancing the region's capacity to meet evolving demands for natural gas.
WAF TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION
In conjunction with the power generation projects, WAF Transmission and Distribution intends to enhance the neighbouring substations and transmission infrastructure in partnership with the national grid, by embarking on a Super Grid Project. The Super Grid project, to be executed by Siemens Energy aims at interconnecting electric power systems of West African countries, enabling mutual benefits by exchanging abundant natural renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar and hydropower. With the Paris Agreement serving as an initiative towards transitioning to carbon-free societies in the latter half of the 21st century, as well as growing demand for realizing 100% renewable energy, the development of global energy interconnections has become an even more important challenge to address.
TRANS-SAHARAN GAS PIPELINE (TSGP)
The Trans-Saharan Pipeline represents a visionary infrastructure project of immense geopolitical and economic significance. Envisioned to stretch across the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert, this pipeline aims to connect the resource-rich regions of Sub-Saharan Africa with ‘energy-hungry markets’ in North Africa and Europe.
Spanning thousands of kilometers, it promises to be a conduit for natural gas, offering a reliable and sustainable energy supply route. Beyond its economic implications, the pipeline carries the potential to foster cross-border cooperation, regional stability, and economic development, while also reducing carbon emissions by enabling the shift f rom more polluting energy sources. The proposed Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP) has been conceived to transport gas from the Niger delta in Nigeria, across Niger and Algeria to supply Europe as it reduces its dependence on Russian gas while transitioning to lower carbon energy. The Trans-Saharan Pipeline embodies both the promise and complexity of large-scale infrastructure ventures in the pursuit of energy security and sustainable development on a continental scale.
WAF CLEAN INSTITUTE (AMMONIA GAS TO POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE)
The Ammonia Gas-to-Power Research Institute in the Badagry axis of Lagos, Nigeria, will be a pioneering institution at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation. Situated strategically in one of West Africa’s most promising energy corridors, this institute will represent a visionary leap towards harnessing the potential of ammonia as a clean and efficient source of power. Its research endeavors encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from the development of cutting- edge ammonia production technologies to the design and implementation of advanced power generation systems.
Collaborations with industry leaders, government agencies, and academic institutions fuel the institute's mission, fostering a collaborative ecosystem for knowledge exchange and technological advancement.
Moreover, the institute's impact extends beyond the realm of research, as it serves as a training ground for a new generation of energy professionals, equipping them with the expertise to drive the transition towards sustainable, ammonia-based power solutions. The Ammonia Gas- to-Power Research Institute in Badagry will exemplify a global beacon of progress in the pursuit of clean and sustainable power generation.
SUSTAINABLE URBAN MASS MOBILITY PROGRAM
On a global scale, the electric vehicle market is experiencing exponential growth. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA) data, the global electric vehicle stock has already surpassed 5 million units, and this number is projected to continue surging in the foreseeable future.
To foster sustainable transportation and mitigate carbon emissions, numerous countries and regions have proactively implemented policy measures to promote the development of electric vehicles. These policies encompass purchase subsidies, tax exemptions, and the establishment of charging infrastructure, offering incentives and convenience to consumers in adopting electric vehicles.
We plan to leverage Nigeria's current automotive component manufacturing capabilities and industry chain to gradually establish an independent Nigerian EV brand. In the future, it will become an electric vehicle with Nigerian intellectual property rights, elevating Nigeria's stature in the global automotive industry and making a positive contribution to the nation's economic growth and societal progress. This will also promote innovation and sustainable growth within Nigeria's automotive industry, actively contributing to the country's green transportation and a sustainable future.
