Aim of Project:
The aim of this project is to transform water hyacinth into an energy resource for the sustainable development in communities along the Volta river. To achieve this, it is proposed that the project adopts and adapts the remote sensing technique of the Weija Lake project to estimate the coverage area to determine the quantity of water hyacinth on the Volta River. It is also proposed that a medium-scale plant be set-up to convert the water hyacinth into energy through biogas production for electricity generation.

Furthermore, the effluent from the anaerobic degradation process can be transformed into fertilizer for crop farming in these communities.
It is believed that if the project is successfully completed, a sustainable direction would be identified to manage water hyacinth. Additionally, since the community will be engaged, it would provide a source of employment for the rural folks. Ultimately, the socio-economic,health and environmental challenges caused by the aquatic weeds will be mitigated in a sustainable manner.

Duration
