CHALLENGES MILITATING BIODIESE SUSTAINABILITY IN WEST AFRICA AND WAY OUT- NIGERIA AS A CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Challenging militating biodiesel sustainability in Nigeria is examined in this paper. The key constrains facing stakeholders in biodiesel industry are identified. The establishment of conversion technologies as enumerated by some researchers is reviewed in order to spring up Nigeria’s biodiesel industry and to reduce unnecessary bottleneck preventing Nigeria from joining her contemporary developing countries in proffering alternative fuel to finite fossil diesel. Future prospects of the industry and numerous benefits are highlighted. It is hoped that the afore-mentioned novel technologies will go a long way in bringing Nigeria to establish functional biodiesel industry.
