“…1m 3 of biogas can be converted to about 1.7kW of electricity (Eriksson, 2010); therefore, the 10.1 m 3 of biogas would generate about 17,170MW of electricity. According to Akhator et al, 2016b, combusting 3.6ton/h of solid waste in a steam power facility can generate 1.4MW of electricity. Table 4 presents the power potential of biomass resources in Nigeria.…”

Sustainable supply of electricity is crucial to comfortable living in homes and attaining economic development in any country. Despite being blessed with enormous green and non-green energy resources, Nigeria has been in a quandary about adequate generation and supply of electricity. The electricity crisis has, over the years, had significant adverse impact on the nation's socio-economic and technological development as well as standard of living of its citizens. This paper examines the problems in the electricity sector and the energy potential of green energy resources in Nigeria. The study reveals that the major source of electricity generation (natural gas) and mode of electricity transmission (a single national grid) in the country have been and are still being constrained by myriad of challenges, hence, the inability of the power sector to satisfy the electricity yearnings of Nigerians till date. The study also reveals that about 1182.375GWh of energy per day could be obtained from green energy resources in Nigeria and the provision of this quantity of energy through decentralized off-grid energy solutions would significantly increase electricity availability as well as accessibility in the country.

“…The potentials of waste-to-energy technology in Nigeria have been extensively documented in several literatures (Akhator et al, 2016;Tsunato et al, 2015;Agbo et al, 2011;Amber et al, 2012;Suberu et al, 2012). However, limited knowledge on WTE development and deployment in Nigeria has hampered the translation of these findings into physical gains.…”

Waste-to-energy (WTE) technology in Nigeria is still at the infancy stage whereas in Sweden the technology is now so advanced that energy in the form of heat and electricity has commercially been recovered from waste. This study examines waste-toenergy development and its success factors in Sweden with a view to instigating the deployment of a modified Sweden's waste-to-energy model in Nigeria to enhance her WTE capacity. The study was carried out in two phases. The first phase involved field visits to some waste-to-energy plants in Sweden and the second phase was a desk research of available data on current WTE development in Nigeria, Sweden's energy sector as well as factors responsible for its successful WTE development. The result from the study showed that Sweden generated about 2.0TWh of electricity from about 5.7 million tonnes of waste in its WTE plants in 2014. The success of WTE development and growth in Sweden is hugely as a result of the support from the Swedish government via enacting enabling policies and adequate funding. With about 14 million tonnes of combustible waste available in Nigeria, about 4.4TWh of electricity could be generated annually if WTE development in the country receives similar support from the Nigerian government. © JASEM http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/jasem.v20i3.18

“…Waste to energy (WtE) has the advantages of reducing waste and transforming the energy obtained during incineration to a new form of useful energy [1]. In addition, the waste heat that is dissipated during incineration can be used to generate steam in a waste heat boiler, which can then be used directly or supplied to a turbine for power generation [2,3].…”

The purpose of the present study is to analyze pressure difference changes inside a high-temperature steam generator (HTSG), which produces steam using the heat generated by waste incineration and decreases the pressure of the produced steam while increasing its temperature. The high-temperature, low-pressure steam produced by a HTSG is used for hydrogen production. Therefore, the steam temperature must be at least 700 • C, and the pressure must be lower than 300 kPa; hence, a device is needed to increase the steam temperature in the boiler and decrease the steam pressure. The physical behavior of the device was modeled and experimentally validated. The modeling and experimental results demonstrated good agreement when the steam was not preheated; however, an additional pressure drop required consideration of the opposite case.
