Reduction Of Carbon Footprint in Electricity Generation in Nigerian

Ezechukwu O. A. Chukwuagu M. I. Ogboh V. C.

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Electricity Generation

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive reduction in carbon footprint in electricity generated from the existing thermal power plants in Nigeria as the aspect of cellulosic ethanol biofuel production. Cellulosic ethanol biofuel has the potential to cut off 88% of greenhouse gas in electricity generation compared to fossil fuel depend on the source of heat and power used in the cost of production.

Keywords

biofuel, renewable electricity, cellulosic ethanol, energy demand, generation.
