ECODEV see great importance in developing alternative,

  sources of energy to curb Global warming. Emphasis is on offering training programs on the development and use of renewable

energy.

We collaborate with other organizations in order to introduce

solar, wind, bioenergy and other renewable energy systems

to our society.

We are currently collaborating with INENSUS and the Canadian environmental

network, through Onesky to

introduce renewables

in NIGERIA.

This has led to the formation of a Coalition of Renewable Energy

Network.(CREN), and we are in the steering committee.

In 2004, We were asked by the German government to

norminate one of us for a technical training on wind energy in Germany.

 The training was completed in August 2005 through the suppervision of INWENT (www.inwent.org)

The founder of ECODEV is a member of several renewable energy networks, including World Wind Energy Association, African wind energy association, which he is also the Nigerian country representative. And a one time member of World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE).

Also, ECODEV is a member of  International network for sustainable energy (INFORSE), Earthday Network etc.

ECODEV won the 2007 award of the Wuppertal Institute (Germany), Renewable Energy Award, of the renewable energy in the food supply chain. This was as a result of the low cost Biodigester that ECODEV designed and test run in Osusuo-Nkpuor community of Cross River State Nigeria.

We were invited to the 14th European biomass conference in Paris in 2005 and we made a visual presentation on bioenergy applications in the conference. The paper was published.



Projects regarding this issue include:

 

1. Introduce solar, wind, Bioenergy and other renewable energy sources, to the communities we are working with.

 

 


2. Performing training sessions regarding installation of renewable energy systems in the Communities we are working in.


3. Actively Participate in the global campaign for sustainable energy use through our environmental allies,International Network for sustainable Energy,(www.inforse.org) Earth Day Network(www.earthday.net), and through our quarterly programme ECO TALKS.

4. Propergate the restoration of Eco Villages in our society.

5. we are equally poised to engage in advocacy, nationally and internationally, for the proliferation of renewables globally.

Communities in this part of the world still depends on fuel wood extraction and charcoal for their energy needs. Even those within National grids,in both urban and rural areas, cover barely 10-15% of their energy needs, from grid electricity. The rest energy requirement from fuel wood, charcoal, kerosene and similar sources.

Our goal is to introduce "Green" energy, as to salvage the habitat/biodiversity crisis and reduce Global warming which is the most consequencial issue of our time and the greatest threat to the Earths safety.
