Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa and home to more than 218 million people, which are vulnerable due to inefficiencies in the electricity system which is essential for the development of a population, according to statistics provided by the world bank 43% of the population in Nigeria do not have access to electricity and those who have this suffer daily various inefficiencies, in addition to this we must take into account that globally we are facing a process of just energy transition, which seeks that as countries we can find ways to meet our energy demand without endangering future generations and our planet because of the polluting gases emitted by conventional forms of energy production. Nigeria is the tenth most populated country in the world and also the country with the largest energy deficit in the world, taking into account the conditions of the country we are looking for ways to solve this energy problem, which triggers other problems such as poverty, and lack of education because energy provides opportunities, opportunities which we want to provide through this project.
As a solution we have developed a business plan which will work together with a prototype of a beta app in development which is related to the different renewable energies that we have access to today and the areas in which it would be more favorable apply each of these, such vizualizations provided by the app will be shared in a dashboard in which the electrical officials or required to carry out the work will execute a plan of action and installation of renewable energy at large scales which could be mostly taken in that particular region or place, these results are derived from data analyses provided by the application which will take into account factors such as population, the place where the project will be carried out and the natural resources that this region has in addition to this the app will have a basic education plan provided by the company for children who due to the problems of the energy sector in Nigeria do not have with opportunities to bring complete learning.
Our solution, BioEnergyGreen and specifically the app, is designed for more than 2,500 government officials to use directly. BioEnergyGreen Platform applications and services are also used by energy workers, since we are aware that it is necessary to work together to satisfy the energy demand not only in Nigeria but also the world we intend to help the 43% of the population that does not have access to energy in Nigeria, we intend to promote the energy system supporting those who need it by creating opportunities for each person by trying to create inequalities and creating opportunities for those who do not have them because of failures in the energy system
The bioenergy team works as a partner with biotech companies in Colombia, the BioEnergygreen solution seeks to be implemented on a large scale helping those who need it, In addition to all that is embodied in the energy sector, a series of studies was developed for this 43% of the population of Nigeria who do not have access to it due to failures in the energy sector, we aim to create a renewable and energized future for all who need it
- Strengthen coastal and marine ecosystems and communities through the broader blue economy, including fisheries, clean energy, and monitoring, reporting, and verification.

currently we have started with the design of our application to prepare its launch and start with its execution in Colombia
I currently face several barriers to carry out my solution, the main one is economic since I do not have the necessary resources to bring my solution to the world, and my country does not have the necessary technologies to carry out this project, but still my main reason to apply to solve is because I want to bring energy to those who need it, because I am aware that beyond a need for energy is an opportunity that I hope to give the people of the world with my solution because I want to be able to build a better future for people who do not have asceso to energy and as a consequence to education for this reason I have developed this project because I know that independent of who we are and where we come from we deserve opportunities and I hope to create them some day with my knowledge for those who need them m ahnelo build a better future together with MIT and energy .
- Business Model (e.g. product-market fit, strategy & development)
- Financial (e.g. accounting practices, pitching to investors)
- Public Relations (e.g. branding/marketing strategy, social and global media)
- Technology (e.g. software or hardware, web development/design)
My solution is innovative because it brings together diverse problems and addresses them in the same way, seeks to have a major impact on the energy sector in the countries mentioned above and thus revolutionize the energy market.
