in the Nigeria (figure 1) - and even more when product transportation is factored in. The escalating costs for natural gas and oil clearly have a major impact for manufacturers in Nigeria that‚ left unaddressed‚ could hurt their competitiveness in world markets. Moreover‚ energy experts predict that global market pressures on oil and gas markets will ensure that high prices will be with us for some time. Being better energy managers is important not only for each company‚ but is also an essential

The sources said that the project would take four years after award of the contract. They said the project would not only generate additional 1410 MW cheap hydel power but also save foreign exchange of $ 900 million spent on import of one million tons of furnace oil annually for equivalent generation of electricity from thermal resources. The World Bank has also shown interest

the Government’s wish to reduce carbon emissions; we do not address how far such reductions are justified as a contribution to a world-wide effort. Targets have focused the spotlight on renewable rather than other means of reducing emissions such as energy efficiency or greater use of nuclear power. The EU is committed to a binding target that 20% of its energy consumption should be from renewable sources by 2020. Individual states’ contributions to the overall target are still only proposals and some
