Nigeria intends to rank among the top 20 global economies by 2030 by focusing on industrialisation. However, limiting energy access may slow the rate of industrialisation. Bioenergy integration into Nigeria's energy mix can accelerate the industrialisation agenda due to the co-benefits it offers. We used a disaggregated approach to map agri-residue availability and identify knowledge gaps in agri-residue application to support modern and sustainable bioenergy integration into Nigeria's energy mix. Expert interviews with stakeholders from government departments, small- and large-scale industries, and feedstock producers were used to validate the biomass mapping. The output of the biomass mapping shows that residues from yam, sorghum, wheat, palm, cassava, rice, sugarcane, etc, have knowledge gaps in agri-residue application and they could support the industrialisation agenda of Nigeria. The output of the stakeholder engagement shows that fossil fuels are the main energy source for productive uses in Nigeria. Current waste management practices involve onsite burning and disposal on land. Bioenergy technologies currently deployed in Nigeria are predominantly anaerobic digestion and combustion. Stakeholders have a strong preference for electricity to be the predominant energy vector. However, awareness of modern bioenergy applications and technologies was limited even though Nigeria's Energy Masterplan supports the efficient use of biomass to generate clean heat, electricity and biofuel for industrial, transport and household applications. Based on these findings, we have developed a suite of novel bioenergy case studies to support biomass integration into Nigeria's energy system.

在尼日利亚部署现代生物能源以支持工业和当地社区


尼日利亚计划通过重点发展工业化，到2030年跻身全球经济前20名。然而，限制能源获取可能会减缓工业化速度。将生物能源纳入尼日利亚的能源结构可以加速工业化议程，因为它提供了共同利益。我们采用分类方法来绘制农业残留物的可用性图，并确定农业残留物应用方面的知识差距，以支持现代和可持续的生物能源融入尼日利亚的能源结构。对来自政府部门、小型和大型工业以及原料生产商的利益相关者的专家访谈被用来验证生物量测绘。生物量测绘的结果表明，山药、高粱、小麦、棕榈、木薯、大米、甘蔗等的残留物在农业残留物应用方面存在知识差距，它们可以支持尼日利亚的工业化议程。利益相关者参与的结果表明，化石燃料是尼日利亚生产用途的主要能源。目前的废物管理做法包括就地燃烧和陆地处置。目前尼日利亚部署的生物能源技术主要是厌氧消化和燃烧。利益相关者强烈希望电力成为主要的能源载体。然而，尽管尼日利亚的能源总体规划支持有效利用生物质为工业、交通和家庭应用产生清洁热能、电力和生物燃料，但对现代生物能源应用和技术的认识仍然有限。基于这些发现，我们开发了一套新颖的生物能源案例研究，以支持将生物质纳入尼日利亚的能源系统。
