OVERVIEW OF BIOMASS ENERGY PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA: IMPLICATIONS AND CHALLENGES
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Of late, much attention is being focused on identifying suitable alternative and renewable energy sources, which can provide high-energy outputs, to replace conventional fossil fuel energy sources. The total energy stored in terrestrial biomass is not only enormous but is also highly available and renewable. Biomass if properly harnessed can form a substantial part of future energy sources which will reduce the pressures on the global energy crises. The type of biomass required is largely determined by the energy conversion process and the form in which the energy is required. This paper will give an overview of the different types of energy generation using biomass sources, focusing on the challenges and implications of each for the Nigerian society.
