Lagos Industrial Decarbonisation Program
The programme targets the industrial and maritime sectors that underpin Lagos's economy, positioning Nigeria to meet its Climate Ambition Alliance pledge of Net Zero by 2050.
The Lagos Industrial Decarbonisation Programme is a first workstream launched under the strategic cooperation between 751.Earth and R. Rockefeller S.C., bringing together AGS geothermal technology, industrial decarbonisation expertise, and sovereign AI-driven engineering networks with 751.Earth's proven capability in climate finance origination, governance, and multilateral programme development. Anchored in one of Africa's busiest and fastest-growing port cities, the programme targets the industrial and maritime sectors that underpin Lagos's economy, positioning Nigeria to meet its Climate Ambition Alliance pledge of Net Zero by 2050.
At its core, the programme focuses on port and industrial decarbonisation, waste heat recovery, and the deployment of Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS) to deliver clean, reliable energy to heavy industry. This approach aligns closely with Nigeria's national CIF Industry Decarbonisation Program, which is seeking to mobilise substantial de-risked investment across low-carbon fuels, energy efficiency, industrial electrification, and carbon capture and utilisation. By channelling technical and financial structuring into Lagos specifically, the programme aims to demonstrate a replicable model for decarbonising high-emitting sectors such as cement, steel, oil and gas, and food and beverage processing.
Importantly, the programme remains in preparation and institutional structuring, with each element proceeding only after technical validation, alignment with relevant public authorities, and execution of a dedicated project protocol. This measured, partnership-led approach reflects 751.Earth's broader philosophy of translating national climate priorities into credible, investable project pipelines rather than rushing to premature deployment. Industry observers have already noted the significance of this structured partnership model as an encouraging signal for how climate finance and industrial transition can be responsibly combined in Africa's emerging green economy.
