PTDF Enhances Renewable Energy Research in Nigerian Universities
The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), represented by Executive Secretary Prof. Shua’ibu Aliyu, affirmed its dedication to bolstering research, innovation, and human capital development in Nigerian universities. This commitment was articulated during the PTDF Professional Chair in Renewable Energy: Close Out ceremony at the University of Benin in Benin City.
Aliyu emphasized the importance of addressing national and industry challenges through research, particularly in renewable energy as Nigeria's energy landscape evolves. The seminar theme, "Agrowaste to Fuel: Biodiesel Development, Opportunities and Challenges for Youth Employment in the 21st Century," was deemed timely for Nigeria's sustainable energy goals.
Prof. Kensington Obahiagbaon, chairholder of the PTDF chair in Renewable Energy, discussed the critical role of converting agricultural waste into biodiesel, highlighting the need for government support and private-sector investment to overcome challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and stable feedstock supply.
