Biogas – A Promising Energy Supplement for Nigerian Economic Growth and Environment Protection
1996
Umar, Bobboi
The problem of energy crisis continues to reverberate in many of the developing countries. In Nigeria, the majority of families living in villages and small towns depend on wood as their domestic fuel. This is because other conventional fuels such as kerosene, electricity and LPG are costly, unreliable or unavailable. Because of the serious environmental effects fuelwood harvesting poses, other cheaper, environment-friendly renewable energy sources such as biogas should be sought. This short review paper explores the potentials for and feasibility of biogas production in Nigeria where the technology is not yet adopted, and recommends how to make it viable in the country.
