Evaluating Nigeria's Decade of Gas Initiative - Implications for Energy Security and Decarbonisation
The global energy landscape is witnessing a steady shift toward cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. This is driven largely by the need to combat climate change, ensure long-term energy security, and reduce carbon emissions. Nigeria is not removed from this transition. Many countries are rapidly transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, such 1 as wind, solar, and bioenergy. However, in Nigeria, various challenges impede the rapid deployment of renewables, necessitating a gradual and 2 context-specifc approach to decarbonisation. Natural gas has been identified as a transition fuel that balances economic growth with climate-conscious development. Nigeria's natural gas sector has become a central pillar of the country's energy transition and industrialisation agenda.
