ENERGY POLICIES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STR...

In this book  a number of long-term energy scenarios are developed for Nigeria considering the
impact of vital factors that may influence energy policies in the country's future energy
system. The energy scenarios were developed through the Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning
System (LEAP) model. The model identified the future energy demand and supply pattern using a
least-cost combination of technology options while limiting the emission of greenhouse gases.
The book presents four scenarios  and key parameters considered include GDP  households 
population  urbanization and the growth rates of energy-intensive sectors. Further  it
highlights the findings of the cost-benefit analysis  which reveal the costs of implementing
selected policies and strategies in Nigeria  including those focusing on energy efficiency and
fuel technology switching. The book also discusses the application of the LEAP-OSeMOSYS Model
in order to identify lowest-cost power plants for electricity generation. Some sustainable
strategies that can ensure a low carbon development in Nigeria are also explored on the basis
of successful country cases in relation to the Nigerian LEAP model. As such  the book will help
policy makers devise energy and sustainable strategies to achieve low carbon development in
Nigeria.
