NIGERIA'S IMPERATIVE: TRANSITION TO GAS
Development of gas-fired power stations will boost GDP through wider and cheaper access to cleaner energy than diesel
GAS HAS SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS FOR POWER GENERATION
> Proximity of large gas fields close to demand centres
> Gas will reduce overall energy costs by undercutting and
displacing local diesel generation, estimated to cost $30bn
to operate (see table)
> Widespread adoption of gas at grid level will free personal
and business resources for more productive use in the
economy, with multiplier effects on GDP
> Combustion of natural gas generates 30% less CO2 than
diesel and 50% less other greenhouse gases
> Significant reduction in particulates, particularly in cities
> Increased use of LPG will drive "clean cooking"
and reduce deforestation
COMPARING GAS AND DIESEL COSTS FOR POWER
> The economics of switching to gas are compelling
> Reduces need for business and households to buy
expensive generators
> Significant reduction in fuel costs per kWh
