According to the authors, the book presents Nigeria’s energy transition from when the first coal-fired power plant was built in Marina, Lagos, in 1896 and the energy mix was 100% coal to the current point where natural gas has become the most dominant fuel in the energy mix for power and coal has effectively been reduced to zero.
“Many technical concepts in natural gas processing and transportation are presented in easy-to-understand language for the non-technical reader, It situates the sector in Nigeria, illustrating it with in-country examples,” the authors said.
Dr Ige noted that the book further presents the evolution of gas fiscal provisions in Nigeria, which has culminated in the Petroleum Industry Act fiscal revisions as well as guidance for gas contracting.
