Description
Nigeria has various energy resources which can be harnessed to generate electricity. These include crude oil reserve of 36.2 billion barrels, 187 trillion standard cubic feet of natural gas, 2.734 billion tonnes of coal and lignite and 31 billion barrels of oil equivalent of tar sand. Others are 11 250 MW and 3 500 MW of large and small hydropower potentials. It also includes solar radiation of 3.5-7.0 kW·h/m2/day and wind energy potentials of 2-4 m/s at 10 m height. Moreover, there are vegetal and animal biomass resources and nuclear energy resources that can be harnessed for electricity generation
