SOLARGROUP Conferences in Nigeria: investing in technologies that benefit the country
The Conferences hosted by SOLARGROUP will be dedicated to innovation and investment. They will be held for the first time in Nigeria as part of SG Africa Business Forum.
July 5, Abuja.
July 9, Onitsha.
The Conferences will showcase Russian technologies, namely innovative electric motors and airships, that can help address the key challenges of the Nigerian economy.
Energy-efficient electric motors consume up to 40% less energy, have high power, long service life and relatively low production costs. With wide use, they can solve a number of problems in the Nigerian economy.
- Making electricity more affordable to the public, reducing electricity costs for businesses and households.
- Reducing the strain on the worn-out power grid and the risks of blackouts.
- Reducing the need for new power plants and infrastructure to meet the growing demand.
- Helping to reduce financial losses from engine failures, extending the service life of equipment.
- Improving air quality in major cities and helping to meet international emission reduction commitments.
Innovative airships are a promising mode of transportation that is emerging as a safe, versatile and cost-effective way of freight and passenger transportation thanks to advanced technology. Here's what airships can do for Nigeria.
- Air border control and security. Nigeria already uses aerostats for airspace monitoring, surveillance and providing security.
- Connection and telecommmunications. Airships can maintain stable connection over a large area, which is especially relevant to remote and hard-to-reach parts of Nigeria.
- Cargo transportation. Airships can transport oversized and heavy cargoes to hard-to-reach regions without the need to build roads and airfields. Meanwhile, the flight hour of an airship is much cheaper than that of helicopters and airplanes.
- Surveillance and protection of natural resources. Airships are used to prevent poaching and wildfires, which will help to preserve Nigeria's natural resources.
- Developing remote areas and rescuing people. Due to their ability to hover in the air and no need for a runway, airships are suitable for regions with poor infrastructure, for rescuing people and delivering humanitarian aid in case of natural disasters or epidemics.
