Study of sustainable energy development in Nigeria
It is no doubt that there is big demand for energy in Nigeria. Among the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members, Nigeria stands in the 6th position in available oil reserve and daily production. Apart from known huge oil reserves, the Nigeria's natural gas reserve has been estimated to be above 166 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF). Newer novel technologies like shale gas exploration affect the oil and gas prices. The future of oil will be continually influenced by new reserves being made possible by newer technological innovation. Meanwhile, renewable energy will increasingly play a bigger role in the future global energy mix. Therefore, there is a need for Nigeria to critically look at its Sustainable Energy Development (SED) plans. This study investigated the efforts being made in Nigeria to encourage SED, and explained the reasons of not yielding the anticipated results from those efforts through analyzing data from existing literatures and surveys conducted by the author. This study also thoroughly investigated whether over dependence on oil & gas for energy and power is actually a major factor militating against the needed interest in SED or not. The results from this research eventually identified the challenges of SED in Nigeria. Keywords: Sustainable Energy Development, Renewable Energy, Survey.
