Access to energy is a prerequisite for human development. For this reason, the concept of energy poverty is carefully monitored by the United Nations and the European Union within the scope of "Sustainable Development" objectives. In this study, energy poverty is conceptually investigated, and the data related to the current energy consumption and the main indicators of energy poverty in various countries were examined. Moreover, socioeconomic characteristics of energy poor households in Turkey were examined with the help of the 2017 Household Budget Survey data set. According to the most recent data available, about one-quarter of households in Turkey are energy poor while nearly half of the households, which have the lowest income levels, were found to carry the risk of facing energy poverty. For the richest households, this rate is only 3.48%. Additionally, the share of energy poor households was observed to decrease from 2003 to 2017.

“…Other cooking fuels in Nigeria household sector include kerosene and LPG. The use of LPG is quite marginal and can mostly be found in urban dwellings [35], [36]. This can be attributed to the price differential between the different cooking fuels, awareness, cultural preferences and the availability of the fuel.…”

“…For example, most of the rural dwellers find it very easy to collect firewood for cooking since it is readily available at no cost. However, this won't be the case with kerosene and LPG which are expensive to purchase and sometimes not even available at vendors [35]. The technologies employed in cooking are usually the inefficient traditional three-stone stove system for burning fuelwood, kerosene, and LPG stoves.…”

“…The study was based on two scenarios; the business as usual and mitigation scenarios. In Nigeria, Ibitoye [22] used the LEAP model to study Nigeria energy requirements in view of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The author established two scenarios; the Reference scenario and the MDG scenario and compared energy estimates for the period 2005 -2020.…”

Modelling the Impact of Nigeria Household Energy Policies on Energy Consumption and CO2 Emissions

Energy security, environmental degradation, and climate change have become global topics of discussion. In response to these issues, the federal government of Nigeria has developed the National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (NREEEP). In this policy document, some programs were outlined for the Nigerian household sector. A major initiative in the household energy policies is to incorporate energy efficient appliances in all households by 2030. Here, we use the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning Systems modelling framework to analyse the effect of these policies on final energy demand and CO2 emissions. The paper also goes ahead to look at the knock-on effects if the policies are sustained up to mid-century. Two scenarios are developed; the reference (REF) scenario and the energy policy (EPO) scenario. Results show that final energy demand of the Nigerian residential sector will increase from around 826 PJ in 2010 to 1580 PJ in 2030 and will further increase to 3011 PJ by 2050 in the REF scenario. In the same scenario, CO2 emissions increased from 6.1 MtCO2e in 2010 to around 15.4 and 37.2 MtCO2e in 2030 and 2050 respectively. Our analysis suggests that if the household energy policies are fully implemented in the EPO scenario, about 61% and 58% reduction in energy demand is achievable by 2030 and 2050 respectively when compared to the REF scenario. The study further indicates that the direct total CO2 emissions in the EPO scenario will increase by around 170% and 124% by 2030 and 2050 respectively, when compared with the REF case. Our findings indicate that the current household energy policies are not effective from the perspective of climate change mitigation. Hence, complementary policies are recommended.

“…The attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially by developing nations, largely depends on greater access to clean energy. Also, Nigeria's vision for a robust economy and society hangs on energy availability and sustainability [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, the stark reality is that access to energy is very minimal as a result of a mix of several factors.…”

Based on the results of no-load tests carried out on a simplified Pico hydropower system currently undergoing development, on-load tests were carried out. A turbine of runner diameter 0.40 m, penstock diameters in the range and nozzle area ratios in the range were used for the on-load tests. A 2.5 kW alternator was linked to the turbine using a v-belt drive on pulleys of ratio 6:1. The effective vertical height from the outlet of the reservoir to the plane of the turbine shaft was 6.95 m. A 0.74 kW electric pump was used to recycle the water to the overhead reservoir. The rotational speeds of the turbine and alternator shafts, the volume of water displaced and voltage were measured for each penstock diameter and nozzle area ratio. The measured data were used to compute the system volumetric flow rate and to estimate the power output based on the alternator manufacturer’s specifications. The turbine efficiency was also computed. The system developed a maximum voltage of 224 V with and a minimum voltage of 111 V with and . The corresponding estimated power outputs were 2.125 kW and 1.545 kW respectively. The mean maximum and minimum efficiencies based on the estimated power output were 0.85 and 0.618 respectively. The overall results indicate very good potential for the system as a clean, decentralized small power generation unit that gives control to the user.
