The Akosombo Project is the first commercial application of the River Blueprint model. On Lake Volta in Ghana, invasive aquatic plants are harvested and processed into green power, organic fertilizers, and carbon credits.
This is how an ecological problem is transformed into a sustainable economic solution.
Every day, approximately 25,000 m³ of biogas is converted into 2 MW of continuous green electricity for Ghana’s national electricity grid.
The residual stream from the fermentation process is processed into high-quality organic fertilizers for the local agricultural sector.
By capturing methane and preventing emissions, the project generates approximately 80,000 tonnes of CO₂e reduction annually, which is validated and traded as carbon credits.
What starts as a local environmental problem grows into a scalable solution with global impact. With measurable results such as sustainable energy, CO₂ reduction, and ecosystem restoration, we show how ecology and economy come together.
fresh aquatic plants — harvested, ground, stored in storage tanks
Fully automatically fed from storage tanks. Anaerobic digestion.
biogas
digestate
green power — from biogas
organic NPK fertilizer — filtered, dried, pressed
CO₂e avoided — carbon-negative process
We prevent methane emissions and achieve validated CO₂ reduction through carbon credits.
We remove invasive aquatic plants and restore the natural balance of rivers and lakes.
The biomass is converted into approximately 2 MW of continuous green electricity for Ghana.
Residual streams are processed into high-quality organic NPK fertilizer for agriculture.
We create jobs and stimulate sustainable economic growth in the region.
