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.
