According to the World Bank, Nigeria emitted 96.3 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 in 2014. Nigeria also has significant methane emissions that corresponded the global warming potential of 89.8 Mt CO2 (CO2e) in 2012.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a combination of technologies designed to prevent the release of CO2 generated through conventional power generation and industrial production processes by injecting the CO2 in suitable underground storage reservoirs. Basically, capture technology separates CO2 emissions from the process, after which the compressed CO2 is transported to a suitable geological storage location and injected. Feasible methods of transporting of CO2 include both pipelines and shipping.
