study the demand for renewable energy re- sources in Nigeria and to find out the main competitors and discover the best periods for market entry in the country via the micro and the macro environmental analysis. The demand for renewable energy in the country is being driven by the increase and urbanization access to energy intensive technologies‚ product and the industrial growth. The Nigerian government is wooing energy companies to come and invest in the country. Special energy policy for foreign

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10%[discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables

of Earth’s resources has astronomically increased. Traditional manipulations of fossil fuels represent an arduous and taxing means for producing energy to power further innovation. Therefore‚ novel methods of energy production are requisite to future technological progress. Therefore‚ investments into sources of renewable energy have expanded yet have met with heated discussion. The United States is a major consumer of resources such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Consumers of energy continue to

Renewable Energy Renewable resources consist of any natural resource that can be replenished naturally. Meanwhile‚ petroleum takes millions of years to form and it difficult and expensive to extract. In 2012 the U.S. released 5‚290 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into our environment‚ hurting animals and the environment. And yet our country cannot see that petroleum is not the answer to how our country should run. America should run on renewable resources instead of petroleum. More money should

In addition‚ renewable energy is generated by natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind and biomass which produce less or no pollution when generate energy. Furthermore‚ renewable energy will be demanded for approximately half of the worldwide electricity supplies to reduce CO2 emissions by 2050‚ which it is estimated by The International Energy Agency (Cited in Shi 2010).

Nowadays‚ some people who supported renewable energy have many questions for fully relying on renewable energy in the future. A factor why people do not consider renewable energy is economics. However‚ the fact is that renewable energy can solve many economic problems. Anna Leidreiter expresses that the benefits of traditional energy are shared in only a few stakeholders; renewable energy is owned by popular‚ so the big business do not agree renewable energy. If the benefits from the large enterprise
