CGK Global, a waste management company based in Qatar, has announced plans to establish a state-of-the-art hydrogen plant in Kaduna State, Nigeria, with a total investment of $350 million.
This announcement comes following Kaduna Governor Uba Sani’s two-day visit to Qatar alongside President Bola Tinubu, during which various investment opportunities were secured for the state.
Sani stressed the importance of the trip, focusing on enhancing partnerships with the Qatari government and Qatar Charity. The visit opened up various investment opportunities in line with Kaduna State’s development objectives in sectors like mining, health, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.
“We held fruitful meetings with investors in the areas of solid minerals, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure development. CGK Global, a waste management company with capacity to generate hydrogen and electricity, wants to set up a plant in Kaduna with the possible injection of $350 million,” Sani said, as quoted by The Cable.
The hydrogen plant not only promises to address waste management challenges but also holds the potential to generate clean electricity, contributing to the state’s energy needs.
Sani stated that Abu Dhabi-based companies Masdar and Taqa have shown interest in partnering with Kaduna State for power generation and distribution using gas. Additionally, South Korean mining company Pasko Limited, focusing on lithium, is actively seeking investment opportunities.
