Hungarian company to build ethanol and biogas plants at Nigerian university

In Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello University has teamed with Agrar-Biothanol Company of Hungary to develop an ethanol facility and a biogas plant to power the campus using livestock waste and human fecal wastewater as feedstock. In total, the project should produce 2.66 million liters of ethanol annually, 1.2MW of electricity and 1,333 tons of liquid fertilizer. The project that celebrated its groundbreaking over the weekend was developed because the school couldn’t afford its large power bill.
