In this book, a number of long-term energy scenarios are
developed for Nigeria considering the impact of vital factors
that may influence energy policies in the country’s future energy
system. The energy scenarios were developed through the
Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) model. The
model identified the future energy demand and supply pattern
using a least-cost combination of technology options while
limiting the emission of greenhouse gases. The book presents four
scenarios, and key parameters considered include GDP, households,
population, urbanization and the growth rates of energy-intensive
sectors. Further, it highlights the findings of the cost-benefit
analysis, which reveal the costs of implementing selected
policies and strategies in Nigeria, including those focusing on
energy efficiency and fuel/technology switching. The book also
discusses the application of the LEAP-OSeMOSYS Model in order to
identify lowest-cost power plants for electricity generation.
Some sustainable strategies that can ensure a low carbon
development in Nigeria are also explored on the basis of
successful country cases in relation to the Nigerian LEAP model.
As such, the book will help policy makers devise energy and
sustainable strategies to achieve low carbon development in
Nigeria.
