2050

Africa's Clean Energy Transition Starts Here.

CleanHQ is a net zero and sustainability advisory based in Nigeria. We help organisations cut emissions, access clean energy, and build real resilience for what is ahead.

Practice Areas

Six Integrated
Practice Areas

Net zero is a business decision, not a box to tick. Our six practice areas are built for real delivery across Africa.

🎯

Net Zero Strategy & Roadmap

We set science-based targets across three time horizons and build the roadmap to hit them. Practical, phased, and fully SBTi-aligned.

Environmental Management Systems

Good sustainability starts with the right governance. We build ISO 14001-compliant systems, run materiality assessments, and put the board accountability in place that makes change last.

Renewable Energy Advisory

Solar PV, battery storage, and clean energy feasibility that actually pencils out. Built for African grid conditions, costs, and timelines.

Carbon Management

You cannot manage what you have not measured. We run full Scope 1, 2, and 3 audits, map your reduction pathway, and source verified carbon credits where needed.

Just Energy Transition

Energy transitions affect people as much as infrastructure. We plan for workforce impact, community engagement, and policy alignment so the shift is fair.

Sustainability Reporting & Disclosure

We produce TCFD, ISSB, GRI, and CDP-aligned disclosures that hold up to scrutiny from investors, regulators, and auditors.

"Net zero is not a compliance exercise. It is Africa's greatest business transformation opportunity, and Nigeria is at its centre."
CleanHQ Advisory Philosophy

A Six-Stage Path
to Net Zero

Six connected stages, each building on the last. Skipping any of them costs you credibility and delivery.

Stage 01

Baseline & Governance

Establish reliable emissions data and the board-level accountability needed to act on your net zero commitment.

Why CleanHQ

Practical Expertise.
Real African Context.

We don't copy-paste global frameworks onto African organisations. Every recommendation reflects the operational, regulatory, and financial reality of doing business here.

Start a Conversation →
🌍

Built for Africa's Reality

Africa's energy systems, regulatory environments, and business conditions are their own. Our recommendations reflect that. What works in London or Oslo rarely transfers without significant adjustment.

🔬

Evidence-Based, Defensible Work

Every recommendation is measurable and built to hold up under scrutiny from investors, regulators, and auditors. We don't dress things up.

💰

Emissions Reduction as Value Creation

Cutting emissions can create real value. We find where decarbonisation saves money, secures energy supply, and builds competitive advantage.

📐

End-to-End Delivery

From baseline measurement through to annual TCFD-aligned reporting, we are built for the full cycle. Not one-off engagements.

Our Approach

Net Zero Is a
Business Transformation.

Three principles shape every CleanHQ engagement, from the first baseline audit to annual progress reporting.

Credibility

Measurable, evidence-based, and defensible to investors and regulators.

🔧

Practicality

Built for Africa's operational realities. Not borrowed from global templates.

📈

Value Creation

Emissions reduction drives cost savings, energy security & growth.

🔄

Continuous Improvement

Ongoing measurement, review, and adaptation. This is a long-term commitment, not a project.
