- How can Nigeria achieve a sustainable oil palm industry?
- Nigeria's pathway to a sustainable oil palm industry, addressing electricity crises, fossil fuel dependency, waste management, and fostering sustainable cities, involves converting waste to wealth via integrated algal/oil palm residue biorefineries.
- Where in Nigeria is oil palm plantation resuscitated?
- The Igbinedion University, Okada, Nigeria, has secured a N500 million-naira Central Bank of Nigeria facility project to resuscitate and expand its existing oil palm plantation (Owoeye,2023). Furthermore, the Nigeria Institute for Oil Palm Research, located in Benin City, Nigeria, is actively engaged in oil palm research.
- Why is Nigeria using oil palm residues?
- (Abdullah and Hussein, 2021) To put it simply, Nigeria's use of oil palm residues goes beyond waste management and is part of a radical shift towards sustainability that includes energy production, biochemicals, biopharmaceuticals, agriculture, and environmental stewardship.

- Oil palm plantations or estates cover around 118,264 ha and make up only 5% of the palm oil production in Nigeria. The remaining 12% of production comes from smallholder government schemes and cooperatives, out-grower schemes, commercial smallholders, and medium-sized farms.
- Can oil palm biomass be used in Nigeria?
- The versatility of oil palm biomass is highlighted by the various techniques practiced in Nigeria, including, co-firing for electricity generation, pelletization, and composting (Onoja et al., 2019, Hamed et al., 2023, Adeleke et al., 2023; Ani et al., 2023; Okafor et al., 2022).
- How can palm oil be sustainable?
- To ensure sustainability, the feedstock should be cost-effective, and the processes should facilitate the production of high-quality bio refinery products (Abdullah et al., 2020; Khatun et al., 2017; Sakai et al., 2022). The palm oil industry, often referred to as “green gold” or “cruel oil,” poses significant challenges to the environment.
