Tiivistelmä
Since the inception of man, energy has been an indispensable part of modern society which serves as an indicator of economic growth and development. In the early nineteenth century, coal is the major source of energy whereas oil in the twentieth century. This extensive use of fossil fuels has led to high emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
The objective of this research is to ascertain the status of biogas technology in both urban and rural settings in Nigeria.
Nigeria holds great potential for the production and use of biogas with its large population and abundant feedstock for production. However, biogas production is hindered due to low awareness and a lack of skilled personnel in the field. In a bid to solve inconsistency in electricity in Nigeria, biogas can proffer a solution to this problem which will increase business, and also attract foreign investors into the country due to available power at a low and affordable cost. The rise in inorganic fertilizers can be solved by the use of the liquid effluents obtained from biogas at a lower cost and better food security, this will in a long run reduce agricultural commodity prices in the nation and make food available for easy access.
