The Nikua mission is to bring food, fuel, and energy security to remote communities. We are currently developing several projects with government, commercial, educational, and NGO partners in the Republic of Fiji. “Nikua” means “Today” in the Fijian language. In the advance of Climate Change, nowhere is the need for renewable energy, economic development, and sustainable agriculture greater today than in Fiji and surrounding Pacific Island Countries - PICs.
One of several finance mechanisms, established through the World Bank, allows governments and communities in the Asia-Pacific region to pay for equipment and services to meet their Nationally Determined Contribution to meet CO2 mitigation targets, tied to the Paris Climate Treaty. Countries in the South Pacific are at the forefront in reducing greenhouse gas emissions because they are already undergoing devastating storms and severe climate change impacts.
Nikua is also spearheading the development of several innovative biofuel, renewable energy, and carbon sequestration strategies to realize those mitigation targets through its partner affiliate Warrior Biojet Inc.
