Our businesses
Eight specialised businesses, one company
Each business serves its own sector and shares engineering know-how, supply chains and partners with the rest of the company. Our engineering, oil and gas and agricultural work has operated in Nigeria since 2017; the other businesses are being built on that base.

Flagship programme · Akryon R&D and Renewables
Turning Africa’s waste into refinery-ready fuel
Nigeria burns and dumps millions of tonnes of plastic and crop waste every year while it still imports fuel. Pyrolysis can turn that waste into oil, but refiners will not risk their units on an oil they cannot predict. Akryon builds the link between the two.
≈2.2 bnlitres of fuel a year
Potential output if Nigeria’s available waste were converted at full scale.
≈$2.3 bna year at full potential
At a pump price of ₦1,400 per litre (October 2026).
$0.46 bna year at 20% uptake
A realistic early slice of the market, rising to about $1.15 bn at 50%.
0.57–1.14million tonnes a year
What one large Nigerian refinery cracking unit could take at a 5–10% blend.
Akryon’s own estimates from its national waste-to-fuel assessment, presented to the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers in October 2026. Method available on request.
Akryon PyroGrade
Screens pyrolysis oil before it reaches the refinery and tells both sides whether it can be used and how much can safely be blended in.
- Lets plant owners sell to refineries, not just low-value local buyers
- Gives refiners confidence to take new feedstocks
Akryon FeedGuard
A feedstock intelligence platform that checks each batch and records where it came from, so plants can prove what went into their fuel.
- Checks feedstock before processing
- Batch traceability for buyers and regulators in the UK, Europe and USA
