Abstract
In Nigeria, high and outrageous energy cost constitutes a serious
challenge to all aspects of the economy. And this has been a subject of concern
in the country over a period of time. A dependable and renewable energy
source is of utmost desire to strengthen the nation’s economy and this urgent
need cannot be overlooked. As a result of the erratic and expensive power
supply to the national grid, it has become ultimately necessary to search for
other inexpensive sources of energy to meet the ever increasing energy needs
for rural and urban dwellers. In view of the above energy situation in Nigeria,
this paper aimed at carrying out a comprehensive review on bioenergy
technology option as a pathway to achieving sustainable energy development in
the country. The potential, current progressive stages, and prospects of
bioenergy conversion techniques, in the Nigeria context, are discussed. The
barriers to bioenergy technology development in Nigeria with possible
solutions are also presented.
