“…The present study intends to fill this gas by investigating one of the gas production facility in the Niger Delta region where previous studies on eliminating gas flaring in the production facility are lacking. The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is endowed with abundance of crude oil and natural gas as part of its natural resources and some of the natural gas are wasted through gas flaring, instead of being converted into useful energy 17 . Site specific studies are very important as they help to determine exactly how much energy that can be obtained from different gas flaring localities.…”

This work investigated the thermo‐economics of gas‐to‐wire as a gas flaring mitigation option in a selected gas production facility, in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, which flares 294 thousand standard cubic feet of natural gas, daily. The thermodynamics and economics aspects of the gas‐to‐wire plant were modeled, and implemented in the Engineering Equation Solver software. The thermodynamics was carried out to ascertain the technical feasibility of the proposed plant, while the economics analysis was done to ensure its cost competitiveness. The findings suggested that 19.2 MW of electricity could be generated from the flare gases. This could be achieved at a life cycle cost of 19.24 billion naira, and a unit cost of energy of 13.47 naira per kWh. Parametric simulation of interest rate, excess combustion air, exit temperature of flue gases, and expansion ratio of gas turbine were also done. Furthermore, the proposed power plant could meet the electricity needs of not less than 60,000 households in Delta State where the gas production facility is located at 550 kWh electricity per capita. The study has shown that gas‐to‐wire is one of the viable approaches to tackle gas flaring activities in Nigeria, to meet both the energy demand of its people and to preserve the environment. Thus, it is recommended that the Federal Government of Nigeria should give gas‐to‐wire a priority in its gas flaring utilization agenda.

“…There has been a steady increase in global energy demand (Okeniyi et al, 2015; Otuagoma, 2016). More energy is required as the world population increases (Emenuvwe et al, 2022).…”

“…Improved economy, technological advancement and industrialisation are other contributing factors to the increase in global energy needs (Emenuvwe et al, 2022; Patidar et al, 2022). This is caused by the dependence of all human activities on one form of energy or another (Otuagoma, 2016). Energy is ultimately required to meet the needs of people, homes, and the workplace to advance stability and growth (Wang and Liu, 2021).…”

This review paper evaluates the current status of the Nigeria wind energy sector to identify the available Wind Energy Potential, Installed Wind Energy Capacity and Renewable Energy Policies in a bid to provide accurate information to aid the exploration and exploitation of wind energy across Nigeria. Consequently, the huge expanse between the wind energy Potential across Cities in Nigeria, the poor numbers of installed wind capacity and Nigeria’s Renewable Energy policies show low interest in Wind Energy in comparison to other RE sources. All this calls for further investment in the Nigerian wind energy sector
