ABOUT US
Appo Integrated e. V. is a registered NGO in Germany (VR 4384 HL) promoting sustainable development for the benefit of the public through advocacy for climate change mitigation, energy efficiency, energy security and the use of renewable energies in Africa - Nigeria.
Appo Integrated e. V. is supported through private donation and has no political affiliation or corporate membership. In pursuit of its principal goals Appo Integrated e. V. highlights the need for an overall energy policy that is balanced, ecologically sensitive, and effective as well as public health awareness.
We aim to raise public awareness of the issues and encourage informed debate regarding a structured energy policy that is both ecologically sensitive and practical. The issues of climate change and energy security are complex and interlinked. Appo Integrated e. V. contributes to the debate surrounding these issues by commissioning reports to provide an independent and authoritative source of information.
Appo Integrated e. V. was founded by a group of individuals, concerned at the lack of balance in the Nigeria's climate and energy policy, and at the information available regarding how to set emission reduction targets(Science Based Targets), What roles institutions and companies need to play towards climate mitigation and the major renewable energy technologies. Appo Integrated e. V. has attempted to supply this deficit by commissioning studies from major academics and professionals.
We are responsible for publishing the most comprehensive, Local Government Area-State level based and accurate data relating to renewable energy generation for Nigeria.
We are also responsible for the first attempt to model the likely behaviour of various subsidy measures as it related to bioenergy in Nigeria, a study widely acknowledged to be an important and novel contribution to debate. A further extension to this study is now under way.
Appo Integrated e. V. has also supported and published ground-breaking work on impact of bioenergy policy on land use change for Nigeria.
In addition, Appo Integrated e. V. responds to public consultations, and Appo Integrated e. V. speakers make regular appearances at meetings around the world. Our policy positions can be found in the Foundation's publications, presentations, and press releases.
