“…Despite these factors, serious environmental degradation had been attributed to these fossil fuels (Garba et al, 2012). The emission of CO2, CH4 and NOx into the atmosphere from the combustion processes is a global issue with ISSN: 2488-9229 FEDERAL UNIVERSITY GUSAU-NIGERIA dangerous consequences (Galadima and Garba, 2011;Galadima et al, 2012). Specifically, CO2 and CH4 are two greenhouse gases produced daily with negative effects of global warming (Belaid et al, 2023;Humphrey et al, 2023;Parris et al, 2023;Pfeifer et al, 2023).…”

Biodiesel production via catalytic transesterification of non-edible oils derived from plants is one of the priority areas considered by researchers as an approach to reduce the over-dependence on fossil fuels. However, the development of most appropriate catalyst system is still under investigation. The current study therefore investigated the potentials of bone ashes derived from cow, camel and goat as catalytic materials for upgrading mango seed oils into biodiesel under a range of reaction conditions. Irrespective of the bone ash type, the XRF data revealed the presence of CaO, P2O5, SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Na2O, MgO, TiO2 and Fe2O3. Among the nine oxides, CaO and P2O5 were found to play a competitive role during the upgrading reaction. However, reactions influenced by active basic sites in CaO were very favourable and accounted for the production of high biodiesel yields reaching maximum at ~94.5%. Further studies on properties characterization showed the produced methyl esters to have properties in line with those approved internationally for the designing of B100 and other grades of biodiesel.

“…Continual exposure of marine species to PAHs can result to developmental complications, vulnerability to diseases and unusual reproductive cycles (Panetta, 2003). Heavy metals contamination of foods (including aquatic species) can be very serious considering the health implications of consumption of high levels of heavy metals or continuous consumption of small amounts over a period of time (Galadima and Garba, 2012). Therefore detection of pollutants in these species can be of risk to the health of the public (Cirillo et al, 2009).…”

In this study, the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Zn, Cd, Cu, Fe and Mn) contamination were determined in Nile tilapia, Mullet fish and Crab collected from crude oil polluted rivers (Abuloma and Woji Jetty). Average individual PAHs concentration ranged from 0.0001mgkg-1 to 11.22±0.02mgkg-1 in Nile tilapia, 0.0001mgkg-1 to 13.43±0.17mgkg-1 in mullet fish and 0.0001mgkg-1 to 12.23±0.06mgkg-1 in crab. Benzo[a]pyrene (a carcinogenic PAH) concentrations detected in fish and seafood in this study exceeded the acceptable limit set by the European Commission (0.002mgkg-1) for fish considered safe for human consumption. The levels of Pb and Cr in fish and seafood were found to have remarkably higher concentrations which exceeded the acceptable levels (FAO/WHO) in food sources for human consumptionand that of Cd, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn were lower. Results from this study revealed high levels of PAHs and heavy metals in seafood samples from all study locations. These high PAHs levels in these commonly consumed seafoods from the rivers question their safety for human consumption.

“…However, there should be public policies and legal framework in place to influence the private sector to apply CO2-EOR techniques for tertiary recovery. Galadima & Garba (2008) discussed potential implementation risks of CCS in Nigeria. The main barriers identified include long implementation time, inefficient technology, gas leakage from geological storage, and high capture and storage costs.…”

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the techniques for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. This article reviews the current status of CCS technology, highlights costs and discusses legal and regulatory issues of CCS. The main purpose of the article is to review CCS and CO2-EOR experience from ongoing projects in different parts of the world and give recommendations on how this knowledge can be applied in Nigeria. A potential demonstration CO2-EOR project in Nigeria under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is discussed.
