…Strengthens Africa’s Position in the Global Green Economy
In a landmark achievement for sustainable development in Africa, the APPL Hydropolis Project has officially been onboarded into the prestigious International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), awarded by Baltic Control Certification Denmark on RFNBO Verification, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Calculations and certification in the ISCC EU Standard.
This milestone marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s green transition journey and affirms the country’s leadership in climate-conscious industrial innovation.
The ISCC certification is a globally recognized standard for verifying sustainability and traceability in supply chains.
Achieving this certification positions the APPL Hydropolis Project as a benchmark for environmental stewardship, not only in Nigeria but across the African continent.
The project’s alignment with international standards underscores Africa’s growing capacity to lead in climate-aligned development.
Speaking at the certification onboarding ceremony, Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, Honourable Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, expressed the Federal Government’s pride and full support for the project.
“This is more than a celebration of certification — it is a powerful symbol of what is possible when African-led innovation meets global cooperation,” said the Minister.
“Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, we are determined to ensure that industrial growth and climate responsibility go hand-in-hand.”
The APPL Hydropolis Project brings together a consortium of international sustainability leaders, whose presence at the ceremony highlighted the project’s global relevance and technical excellence.
These include:
DFDS, Denmark: Renowned for sustainable maritime logistics
ECOnnect Energy AS, Norway: Leaders in offshore, low-impact energy transfer infrastructure

H2 Core Systems GmbH, Germany:
Innovators in modular green hydrogen systems
Longi, represented by the VP of Europe: Global leaders in solar energy technology
Baltic Control AS, Copenhagen: Independent certification and compliance experts.
This multinational partnership exemplifies the synergy between local ambition and international expertise.
Through the Hydropolis Project, Nigeria is demonstrating that sustainable industrialization is not only possible but also scalable and replicable across the continent.
The Honourable Minister reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to providing the regulatory support, enabling environment, and policy alignment required to sustain and expand initiatives like APPL.
“This project is a beacon for Africa,” he concluded. “It tells the world that we are not just participating in the global green economy — we are ready to lead it.”
The APPL Hydropolis Project is now set to play a crucial role in driving sustainable infrastructure, reducing carbon emissions, and unlocking inclusive economic growth in Nigeria and beyond.
