Bioenergy dominated Nigeria's primary energy demand in 2010 and 2018. However, this was expected to change by 2040, with the energy demand in oil measuring 53 million tons of oil equivalent, the highest compared to the other sources.
Primary energy demand in Nigeria between 2010 and 2040, by source
(in million tons of oil equivalent)
This data refers to the Africa Case, which, accoring to the source, considers that the continent’s economy in 2040 is four times larger than it is currently, helped by efficiency improvements which limit the rise in total primary energy demand to just 50 percent. In his way, energy use is expected to be lower.
