“…In a recent study, the effect of technology intervention on household energy mix in Nigeria was examined for a 30-year period by analyzing four different economic development scenarios, based on different ecological zones, namely, forest and savanna. The study showed that lower and upper limits of the cost of technology intervention are $17.40 billion and $39.20 billion respectively with the final energy demand dropping for the simulated scenarios [1]. The environmental implications were however considered separately, and are reported in this paper.…”

“…By 2030, Nigeria's population is estimated to grow to about 228 million, at an annual growth rate in the range of between 1.7% and 2.8% [1]. It is expected that less than 30% of the population will be living in rural areas.…”

“…To drive this kind of growth in a sustainable manner calls for an integrated energy strategy. This proposed integrated energy strategy would require incorporation of all forms of energy types into its planning [1]. In addition, it is important to expand access to modern energy services to be able to achieve the UN Millennium Project [10].…”

This paper is concerned with effects that are considered undesirable for women and children in household energy utilization. In Nigeria, household energy utilization is significant where it contributes 53% to total energy consumption with bio-energy inclusive. 85% of bio-energy contribution to final energy consumption goes to service energy needs. Technology mix for cooking in households includes firewood stoves (41%), charcoal stoves (1%), kerosene stoves (53%), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) stoves (4.5%) and electric burners (0.5%).Literature review, survey and application of simulation technique were employed as methodology. For the simulation technique, factors considered include impact of technological interventions as well as structural shifts among economic sectors and sub-sectors. With technology intervention, the simulated results indicate that savings of 1.5 billion kg Ceq, and the avoided cost of about $0.11 million/tonne Ceq, can be achieved. Economic benefits may include reduced health-related expenditure, time savings from shorter time spent on fuel collection and cooking, and environmental impacts at local levels.
