The Executive Vice President Oando Clean Energy, Mr Ademola Ogunbanjo, disclosed this at the ongoing ninth edition of the Lagos Climate Change Summit on Wednesday in Lagos.

The two-day event is titled: “Integrating Climate Actions in Lagos State Development: Investment Opportunities and Trade-offs.

Odunbanjo spoke on the topic: De-carbonising Industries/Mobility via Innovative Clean Energy.

He said that Oando would be experimenting on different energy mix to come out with an affordable green energy for consumers, mobility and industry.

According to him, buses that are powered with hydrogen will not be profitable.

“Not as the fares that we pay today. They’re not cost effective.

“And we also can’t pass it on to the consumer.

“So we will roll out about five hydrogen powered buses when the plants is ready.

It will run at a loss we know but we’ll do it still anyways, because we must prove the concept and attract investment, particularly development funds.

Odubanjo said that statistics show that before 2020, industries contributed 40 per cent to Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, while transportation contributed about 17 per cent.

He said that industry activities and mobility are activities of humans which release carbon into the atmosphere, thereby causing climate change.

“All of these things speak to the activities of humanity.

“Industry speaks to the consumption of humanity

.”Because the climate change conversation is about human consumption. What do we consume, how do we consume and that’s the primary conversation.

He said that Nigeria is the fourth largest contributor of GHG emissions in Africa.

He said that though Nigeria is a fourth largest contributor. Lagos is the largest contributing city.

“This means that Lagos probably accounts for 50 or 40 per cent of GHG emissions for Nigeria.

“Unfortunately, data has shown us that Nigeria has gained the most, over 98 per cent between 1990 and 2020.

”So our trajectory for emissions is going up, it is not slowing down.”

Odunbanjo said that while industries lead the global average of GHG emissions in developed economies of the world, transportation takes the lead in Nigeria.

“It means that we go to a lot of places where we don’t produce a lot of things. Industry leads the global average.

“Transportation leads Nigeria’s average that’s not good news. If it was industry leading, we would at least say that we are a producing economy; all we just have to do is look at how we power industries.

“It also means that as a country, mass transit system is so powerful”

Odunbanjo said that for us to decarbonise mobility, there is the need to expand mass transit system where everybody does not feel the need to put their vehicles on the road.

“We can all get on buses, trains and trams. And we’re comfortable in there

“When we visit England, I’m sure we don’t drive in England.

“Not because it’s right hand drive only but because the public transport system works for you,” Odunbanjo said.
