Abstract:
The circular economy paradigm offers Nigeria a sustainable path to economic diversification, resource efficiency, and energy security. This study focuses on transforming agricultural residues and other waste biomass into bio coal through torrefaction. It highlights the untapped potential of agricultural residues, such as rice husks, cassava peels, and palm kernel shells, alongside municipal solid waste. The paper presents a comprehensive plan for integrating bio coal production into Nigeria’s energy landscape, detailing its economic, environmental, and social benefits. Data collection, methodology, results, and recommendations are outlined to underscore the feasibility and impact of this approach.
