Carbontl V) oxide Capture anti Sequestration in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges

Abstract

The capture and storage 0/ carbo II dioxide (eeS)

produced durtng the combusuon of fossil fuels 110·

offers one option/or attaming large scale reductions in

the enusstons of greenhouse gases and thus. promote a

clean environment. It IS 1101l' becoming clear that ees

technologies could promote the use or consumption of

fossilfuels than otherwise previouslv thought.

Tills paper presents an OI'er,lel" of the techniques

Involved 111 the capture and sequestration of

carbondioxideic'Oi). The opporturuttes and the

challenges of the application of CCS in Nigeria are

considered.

II is concluded that the development of gas uttlization

schemes and power plants makes it imperative /01'
