About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Olam Agri commissioned a 713 kWp solar farm at its rice mill in Nigeria to replace natural gas and a 1.3 MW cogeneration plant using rice husks as biomass fuel for on-site energy generation, reducing fossil fuel use in milling operations. Evidence: "One such initiative implemented is the 713 KWp capacity solar farm at the rice mill in Nigeria which will replace the use of natural gas. ... The rice mill in Nigeria has commissioned a 1.3 MW cogeneration power plant that generates energy from rice husks that are produced as by-products from the rice mill." — https://www.olamgroup.com/content/dam/olamgroup/investor-relations/ir-library/annual-reports/annual-reports-pdfs/2023/olam-sustainability-report.pdf
