Dangote Group implements advanced technology and strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions across its subsidiaries.

Dangote Group's Chief of Branding and Communication, Mr. Anthony Chiejina, announced on September 12, 2023, in Lagos that the company has taken significant steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their environmental impact.

The group has launched an awareness campaign to educate employees and local communities about climate change and environmental sustainability. Additionally , their new production plants are designed for resource and energy efficiency, and they have invested in modern equipment like analyzers and emissions monitoring systems for real-time measurement.

Beyond emissions reduction, Dangote Group is committed to environmental protection and regeneration, including land reclamation and tree planting.

Dr. Eseosa Ighile, Head of Sustainability at Dangote Cement Plc's Obajana Plant, highlighted several innovative strategies to reduce GHG emissions. These include monitoring water, waste, and GHG emissions, establishing a decarbonization working group, and adopting alternative fuels to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

The goal is to achieve a thermal substitution rate of 25% in all plants by 2025, with plans to install alternative fuel feeding systems in all operation lines by 2024. They currently use resources such as tyre chips, waste oils, palm kernel shells, rice husks, and are exploring the use of refuse-derived fuels. From January to July 2023, they've already utilized over 34,800 metric tonnes of alternative fuel materials.

Moreover, Dangote Academy, through its Technical Training Head, Mr. Adedeji Adewale, employs electrostatic precipitators to trap dust and recycle it into their system. The academy also engages in extensive tree planting, including mangoes, soursop, dates, orange trees, and others, as part of their commitment to environmental sustainability. They continue to plant thousands of trees annually.
