CT0037: "Carbon Energy is the future," says Yahaya Adamu
Description
Synopsis:
In this episode, a young climate and sustainability professional Yahaya Adamu with expertise in carbon energy joins Seyifunmi Adebote to discuss the state of the carbon market in Nigeria, his innovative strategies as a managing partner at CarbonEx, a leading organization trailblazing the climate finance technology space, and what the future holds for carbon and ESG reporting across the African continent.
Yahaya addresses the lack of education and awareness of carbon energy, carbon accounting methods (10:26 ), and culture in Nigeria, and how his work at CarbonEx has been developing and establishing initiatives to bridge this gap over the years. He discusses how the technology leverages (22:41 ) digital MRV, IoT, and blockchain to track, verify, and monetize carbon reductions across clean cooking, clean energy, and sustainable agriculture.
Yahaya admits that about 190 million people do not have access to clean cooking in Nigeria, but is very optimistic that with his innovation at CarbonEx, that number can gradually reduce over the next few years.
This was such a great conversation. On this episode, you will learn about:
1. The tenets of carbon energy, carbon technology, and reporting.
2. The gap in the carbon market in Nigeria and how CarbonEx is bridging that gap with its innovations.
3. To create the change in the space, Nigerians must be intentional about capacity building and support indigenous technology innovators to scale the market.
