Primary Initiatives, Target Populations, and Scope of Work:
We are targetting West African countries including Benin Republic and Togo. Locally, the Northern part of Nigeria is not accessible for conventional fossil fuels. With this partnership, we can solve a lot of energy problems for cooking.
Fuels/Technologies:	Biogas Biomass Coal Hydroelectric Kerosene Liquid Petroleum Gas	Sectors of Experience:	Education Energy Environment Renewable Energy Machinery design/Manufacturing

Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas

Social/Cultural barriers to using traditional fuels and stoves:

As a matter of fact, there are no cultural barriers to using traditional fuels and stoves in Nigeria. The only problem is the environmental effects associated with their use.

Market development for improved cooking technologies:

Highly interested in development of improved cooking stoves especially for applications in rural areas because of energy problems in Nigeria.

Technology standardization for cooking, heating and ventilation:

The Nigeria Institution for Standards has specifications for different types of cooking stoves. I am a member of its Technical Committee; through this, we have a lot of exposure in this area.

Indoor air pollution exposure and health monitoring:

Many organisation are less aware of air pollution problems, hence, pay less attention to its minimisation or control.
