Water: Investing in the World's Most Precious Resource

People like USER 252734 would never cease to expose the ignorance about the world around them. There are opportunities everywhere, there are honest people as well as scammers everywhere too and could someone tell me where Ruth and Bernie Madoff come from? How about the Halliburton and Siemens Corrupt officials messing up our Economy in Nigeria? Who assists our leaders here in Nigeria and other developing countries to ''Safe-keep" stolen public funds in the Western countries? It takes two to tango...............who is encouraging corruption in Africa and other developing nations?? Who is stealing "Texas Tea" from the Niger Delta? My country Nigeria isnt having the best of image abroad at the moment and a lot is being done to improve our image which some dishonest individuals have dragged to the mud but the fact remains that some genuine foreigners and Nigerians alike are forging mutually beneficial partnerships/relations... and doing good,legitimate businesses. I dont pity you if greed and more greed have made you to jump at any ''juicy offer" without doing your due dilligence and insitu feasibility evaluations. You embark on such voyages to quick returns without carrying along your home office in the country your are dealing with. USER 252734, please go and pick up your jaundiced mind from the gutter and quit passing blanket judgements without doing your homework properly and yes, that is the burden some Nigerians like myself would have to shoulder. No insults intended but facts and realities should be brought to the fore when the need arises!
Best Regards.

Schrodinger Nigeria Limited seeks to drive a paradigm shift from dependence on fossil fuel powered generators in Nigeria to renewable energy solutions by setting up Renewable Energy Products and Services One-stop-shops throughout the country. The one stop shops will be designed as demonstration sites to promote the use of renewable energy technologies and Energy Efficiency Products and to also serve as resource and information centres to educate both the public and private sector through hands-on and interactive examples.
Schrodinger has identified the "Initial Cost versus Integral cost" factor in all of these. Nigeria is about the 7th largest market in the whole world and number one destination for all manner of fossil fuel powered electricity generators worldwide, despite our huge deposit of natural and environmental resources.
The pilot one stop shop will be located in Abuja FCT and subsequently rolled out into other cities/communities creating a network of centres that serve as much of national population of 150 million people as possible, including remote and rural areas. The one-stop-shops will provide an opportunity for the local residents to be at the forefront of using proven renewable technologies such as wind /small hydropower, solar thermal and Photovoltaic as well as contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions nationally. Nigeria’s economy has been described as “Carbon Economy”; what with the unending and “Goat-Head” policy of gas flaring in the oil rich Niger Delta and the short fall in the national grid electricity supply of more than 50,000 MW being made up by millions of head-cracking and fossil fuel guzzling & GHG emitting electricity generators!
The concept of a renewable energy products and services one stop shops is unique in Nigeria as there currently is no such enterprise in the country. There is an obvious need for such a service as public awareness of renewable energy technologies and their benefits, both economically and environmentally is generally very low. In addition to supplying retail renewable energy products, the centres will also offer project management and consultancy services.
The proposed project aims to raise awareness of these technologies and consequently increase their use by embarking on an aggressive marketing strategy that includes both traditional i.e. print and electronic media as well as other cutting edge methods i.e. mobile phone marketing. Other marketing strategies include the development of a referral program that encourages satisfied customers to promote our products and services e.g. by rewarding them energy efficient products i.e. compact fluorescent light bulbs and/or discounts on future purchases. In addition to providing individual household or business solutions, community (i.e. neighbourhood) scaled and “business cluster” solutions will also be provided to reduce initial costs and promote communal sense of ownership of the projects.
The pilot one stop shop will be entirely powered by a solar-wind hybrid application to demonstrate that the generation of renewable energy (electricity) is quite feasible & a practical reality that is cost effective in economic, environmental and public health terms.
Technical partners who would supply all the technical equipment and products as well as consulting and capacity building i.e. staff training, would be engaged as soon as funds are made available. The only obstacle holding this project/proposal down is funding, funding, and funding!! Highly unexplored in this clime, this means opportunities exist to positively impact the Economy, Public Health, Environment as well as making huge returns on any investment made .
Please if you know where funds could be accessed either as soft loans, equity or venture capital investment; please pass the info across.

In the course of his research that looked into the Nigerian electricity crisis and the dependence on fossil fuel electricity generators by businesses, homes and offices; he identified the "Initial Cost Versus Integral cost" factor influencing the choice of Fossil Fuel ahead of Renewable Energy. Knowing this is highly unexplored in this clime and that opportunities exist to positively impact the Economy, Public Health, Environment as well as making huge returns on any investment made in the process, he set up Schrodinger Nigeria Limited in late 2006 to be able to provide renewable energy based solutions and tap into the extant opportunities beneath the terrible and intractable electricity supply/distribution crisis. He has since been building alliances/partnerships in his quest to promoting the ‘’Creativity beyond Intelligence’’ brand to the highest level possible.

Water: Investing in the World's Most Precious Resource

Great Article! I think where wealth beckons is where most people ignore; check out these few extremes: Oil Vs Water; Developed Economies Vs Emerging Markets; Fossil fuel Vs. Renewable energy.

A 75 cl bottle of water goes for as much as $0.50 here in Nigeria and juxtapose it with the fact that Nigeria makes up 2.22% of total world population, with 150 million people- 8th biggest market world wide! By 2050, the population is expected to guage 350 million. Does this say anything to you??

Fossil fuel Vs. Renewable energy??

Schrodinger Nigeria Limited seeks to drive a paradigm shift from dependence on fossil fuel powered generators in Nigeria to renewable energy solutions by setting up Renewable Energy Products and Services One-stop-shops throughout the country. The one stop shops will be designed as demonstration sites to promote the use of renewable energy technologies and Energy Efficiency Products and to also serve as resource and information centres to educate both the public and private sector through hands-on and interactive examples.

Schrodinger has identified the "Initial Cost versus Integral cost" factor in all of these. Nigeria is about the 7th largest market in the whole world and number one destination for all manner of fossil fuel powered elctricity generators worldwide, despite our huge deposit of natural and environmental resources.

The pilot one stop shop will be located in Abuja FCT and subsequently rolled out into other cities/communities creating a network of centres that serve as much of national population of 150 million people as possible, including remote and rural areas.
