Energy, Energy generation, Energy consumption, Waste energyAbstract
Petroleum accounts for almost the total energy used in the transportation sector by, 90% in 2005, and is expected to also be on the increase to 92% by 2030 as a result of the difficulty in petroleum alternatives. In China and the United States, gas demand is on the high side. The ever-expanding energy demand, decreasing sources of petroleum resources, and worry about contamination levels in the earth have been the significant worries of the world. The Consumption of Energy patterns across the globe today imply that our great nation, Nigeria and most African nations have the least consumption of energy. Nigeria is suffering from an insufficient supply of consumable energy as a result of a lack of persistent government intervention regularly and an increased population. This study explored the sources of energy in Nigeria through a literature review. Finally, emphasis was laid on waste energy.
