Investigation of low enthalpy geothermal resources in the transitional geological environment: a pathway to Nigeria’s Sustainable Development Goals achievement
Key Points
This research aims to explore low enthalpy geothermal resources and their potential contribution to Nigeria's Sustainable Development Goals.
Investigated geothermal resources in a transitional geological environment.
Conducted feasibility studies to assess emission reduction potential.
Projected emission reductions of 85,000-140,000 tons per year.
Emission reductions estimated between 85,000 and 140,000 tons/year, pending confirmatory drilling.
Supports Nigeria's SDG 7 and SDG 13 development targets.
Abstract
emission reductions of 85,000-140,000 t/year (subject to confirmatory drilling and feasibility studies), supporting Nigeria's SDG 7, SDG 13, and related development targets.
