Promoting the Use of Alternative Fuels for Road Transport in Nigeria
Abstract
Road transportation has been the most popular means of transport in Nigeria and one of the major energy-consuming sectors in the country. This sector is entirely dependent on non-renewable and polluting petroleum-based fossil fuels (petrol and diesel), for powering of road vehicles. This work discusses possible alternatives fuels such as ethanol, biofuels, biodiesel, methanol, compressed natural gas etc. and measures for promoting the use of these fuels for road transportation in the country. These fuels do not only burn cleaner, but also produce lower emissions and could reduce the country’s over-dependence on its’ finite fossil fuel as well as minimizing environmental pollution.
