This study presents critical insights into the potential of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to conventional fuel (Petrol). Key findings indicate that transitioning CNG could significantly reduce Nigeria's heavy reliance on imported Petrol, which currently stands at an average consumption 50 million litres daily. shift promises substantial economic savings—potentially around #17.791 trillion in annual consumption. It also offers remarkable reduction...

Nigeria's reliance on conventional fuels like gasoline and diesel is prompting an investigation into more affordable options. Compressed natural gas, or CNG, emerges as the leading choice in this search. With its significantly lower price point compared to alternatives, CNG provides fleet individual owners substantial fuel cost savings. According research, it possible save than N680 for every 100 kilometers driven petrol. Although gives users a favorable impression, upfront costs must be...

Energy infrastructures in North-Central Nigeria are inadequate and grid electricity is unable to meet suburban housing demand. The alternative power-supply options proposed by government for the region require appropriation analysis selection. Four public estates Abuja selected demand under conventional energy-efficient lighting scenarios; then techno-economic parameters of two off-grid electric power supply systems (PV Diesel-powered generation) these demands evaluated. An energy assessment...

It discovered that a sizeable (38.4%) number respondents, despite their level education, were not aware energies from wind, biomass, solar...

The study focused on Nigeria's polyurethane (PU) production process as a test case. Though it is currently insignificant when viewed from global perspective, PU in Nigeria not eco‐friendly. Traditionally, produced by reacting petro‐based polyol with poly‐isocyanate, which made amines and phosgene are imported into the country. These two materials detrimental to human health environment, indicating that industries need re‐examine their inputs for environmental compliance. objective of this...

Nigeria's biofuels policy advocates the adoption of cassava as feedstock for a 10%-biofuel substitution option in Nigerian transport fuel demand. This is expected to address energy security and environmental consequences using fossil fuels sole source country. paper appraised technological economic factors necessary achieving cassava-based biofuel initiative at different levels 5, 10, 15% by Year 2020. A multi-stage forecasting project analysis framework adapted from Coate's structure...

This study examined the project planning and control parameters for a public-private partnership sustainable environment power (SEP) critical infrastructure (waste-to-energy initiative) in Lagos State, Nigeria, taking into cognisance state's limitations, project's role as model Nigeria's federal state governments. State-approved time costs were 15 months US$6 million dollars, respectively. Techno-economic environmental conversion factors well financial work schedule data obtained through...

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the economic feasibility landfill gas for electricity generation in Lagos State. In paper, methane emissions are estimated by applying First Order Decay model landfills over latest data available Bureau Statistics. Documented waste-in-place State from 1990 2014 can be approximated 51 million tons waste disposed. An engineering analysis was used which adapted US EPA’s Landfill methodology. Based on methodology, we calculated that a total 4,736.37...

Alternative photovoltaic (PV) electric power systems are designed for suburban residential complexes in Nigeria's Southwestern region as succour to erratic grid supply. The initial project Ibadan, Oyo State was analyzed model other stakeholders the region. A planning framework used analysis. scope, cost and time specifications were determined: a 7 MW PV system over 35 acres, estimated generation costs of US$2.56 per watt, total $17.9 million, at completion $21.6 12 months 19 days....

This article discusses how economic reforms, as a reaction to the effects of global financial crises, have intensified popular unrests and redefined composition, interests, socio-economic political attitudes Nigeria’s increasingly complex social strata. We relied basically on secondary data analyze some fundamental domestic international issues facing country in course implementing reforms their accompanying social, problems. It was discovered that past present reform policies failed...

Attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nigeria requires significant consumption of energy, especially petroleum products. This energy requirement has not been determined, thus limiting policy formulation and development various sectors national economy. paper examined to achieve MDGs, viability modular refineries meet product demand. Data on intensity Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) were obtained from Ministry Finance, similarly data Petroleum...
