Hydrofuel Canada invests in Nigerian waste-to-energy company

Hydrofuel Canada Inc., a producer of green ammonia and hydrogen, has entered into a deal with Lumos Laboratories Nigeria Limited for the purchase of shares.

Lumos has patented technology to generate green hydrogen, ammonia, fertilizer, and electricity from human and animal waste. In accordance with the provisions of the share purchase agreement, Hydrofuel will finance the commercialization of the invention.

The CEO of Lumos, Ejikeme Patrick Nwosu, stated, “We are grateful to have made this acquisition deal with Hydrofuel Canada as it will provide a wonderful platform for us to realize our dream of making clean, affordable, renewable hydrogen-ammonia energy widely available while reducing the health impacts of untreated waste in our community.”

Lumos created its technique to address the grave health issues that plague areas without centralized sewage treatment. The presence of waterborne pathogens, such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery, in untreated sewage poses a significant threat to public health.

The World Health Organization estimates that approximately three billion people lack access to better sanitary facilities, with sub-Saharan Africa (37%), Southern Asia (38%), and Eastern Asia (39%) having the lowest coverage (45 percent ). The Lumos technology would enable decentralized, neighborhood-by-neighborhood sewage treatment.

In addition to poor sanitation, third country economies generally suffer from a lack of energy for heating, cooking, and providing essential services. With the energy generated by its method, Lumos’s technology tackles these concerns in part.

“Our aim to provide Green Hydrogen from Ammonia with lower prices and life cycle pollution than any other fuel now includes sanitary waste challenges in third world economies,” said Greg Vezina, chairman and chief executive officer of Hydrofuel Canada.

The sale of green energy and other by-products absorbed and generated by the process provides funding for the technology. It is projected that the value of the energy that may be recovered using this method will allow Lumos to give people a small incentive charge for utilizing its waste capture system, thereby fostering local economic growth.

The Nigerian Prison Authority has awarded Lumos a consulting contract to study and pilot its technologies. The created green hydrogen and ammonia will be studied and assessed as a fuel for transportation, a source of heat and electricity, and as a fertilizer.
