The Energy Commission of Nigeria, the Ministry of Environment and the British High Commission on Tuesday launched an updated version of the Nigeria Energy Calculator 2050 (NECAL 2050), a bespoke energy and emissions model to help Nigeria achieve its climate goals.
Present at the launch were British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing; Minister of State for Environment, Sharon Ikeazor; Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Pauline Tallen; Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Ogbonnaya Onu; Director-General, Energy Commission of Nigeria, Prof. Eli. Jidere Bala, and others.
The British High Commissioner said: “The launch of the Nigeria Energy Calculator 2050 further strengthens bilateral collaboration between the UK and Nigeria on the clean energy transition. Nigeria’s energy sector accounts for 60 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions and the sector is also key to the delivery of Nigeria’s many development priorities; it is therefore critical to understand the options that are available to reduce emissions while matching energy supply and demand.”
Onu said: “This is an energy planning tool that enables choices in energy development pathway to be examined, along with its environmental consequences.”
