Expanded Examples of Profitable Climate Action Opportunities in Nigeria

There are many significant new proven technologies that have been developed around the world.  I recommend that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria investigate and select their best options to generate income and make a positive impact in Nigeria.  These SMEs can use AI services such as Google’s Gemini Deep Research to investigate their best options.

There is a wide range of new technologies and methodologies the can be scaled up in Nigeria.  Given below are some links to significant climate solutions:

1) Cooling systems that can save substantial energy: Enersion.

2) Producing nitrogen fertilizer with bacteria: Kula Bio.

3) Sodium Ion energy storage systems: CATL’s Naxtra Battery and CATL’s Online Sale Platform

4) Agricultural Innovations: Agriculture Innovation Mission (AIM) for Climate Innovation Sprints.

5) Drawdown’s Climate Solutions Platform: Drawdown Explorer.

6) Climate Solutions Advancement Network (ClimateSAN) has created a series of short videos embedded in webpages with links to more information about climate solutions.  To view two different videos, visit: 

a) Scaling Up Climate Action Through Collaboration, Proven Technologies and Government Incentives (org/scac )
b) Accelerating the Energy Transition with AI, Renewables & Geologic Hydrogen (Climatesan.org/atai )

7)  Climate Solutions Advancement Network (ClimateSAN) has created some pages relating funding options.  To view them, visit:

a) Grant Funding Sources for Climate Action in Africa and Applying for This Funding
b) Climate Finance Resources Relating to Africa  (climatesan.org/cfra)
c) Increasing Funding for Food Security and Climate Action in Africa (climatesan.org/fsca )

8) Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), including non-profit organizations, can save money and generate more profits by using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify business opportunities and implement projects.  To view a report prepared by Google’s Gemini Deep Research about climate action-related business opportunities in Nigeria, see this report: Commercial Climate Action Pathways for Small and Medium Enterprises in Nigeria: A Techno-Economic Market Analysis.

9) A breakthrough technology developed by Vema Hydrogen that can produce hydrogen from iron-rich rock in the ground.  They call it Engineered Mineral Hydrogen (EMH).  Vema indicates that they can produce hydrogen for less than US$1/kg, which is less than 1/4 the cost of producing it from renewable energy.  Research paper by Dr. Florian Osselin: Orange hydrogen is the new green.
