Climate change: FG advocating biogas as alternative to charcoal for domestic cooking

is advocating the use of biogas as a source of energy for domestic cooking, especially in rural areas, as alternative to charcoal in order to preserve the ecosystem, promote human health and end the scourge of forest/trees exploitation for charcoal production.

He urged Nigerians to make a habit of planting trees to regenerate the environment, resource the ecosystem and enhance the climate quality. “There are things we look at as beneficial but it is a great harm. When you go deep into the forest of Ogun State and other places, you will see the level of exploitation of plants because of charcoal production. We are thinking of an alternative source to charcoal, this is what we are advocating, that is waste product, compound, bind and use it as biogas.”
