| Abstract Scope |
Nigeria has not been able to provide enough electric power to her 170 million people. The master gas plan is meant to produce gas for several existing and planned power stations but will
take over 3 years to be completed. With the available less than 4000MW in Nigeria, only about 40% of the population have access to the electricity from the National Grid. Considering the advantages and abundant availability of biomass in Nigeria estimated to be at least 6billion GJ in 2010 which are often used wastefully, therefore, this paper addresses the possibility of meeting the present energy crisis in Nigeria through Biomass gasification technology. The potentialities, techno-economical of the technology were demonstrated in this work. Harnessing the energy available from our biomass will allow the attainment of notable reductions in the consumption of the finite fossil fuels, pollution levels and worrying climate changes. |
