nadequate energy supply and environmental pollution are
gargantuan problems confronting Nigeria and many other developing nations of the world. The energy demanding lifestyle of the
modern world calls for the generation of energy from alternative
sources that are renewable and eco-friendly [1]. The abundant
hydrocarbon natural resource (crude oil and natural gas) in Nigeria
is the mainstay of over 80% of revenues to the nation. However, this
has neither served as a catalyst for economic growth nor the major
source of energy in the mix of energy supplies.
