ABSTRACT
There is a general believe today that the increased emission of green house gases especially carbon dioxides (CO2) which is believed to have increased by about 30% since the Industrial Revolution, are responsible for the overall warming of our planet. The emission of CO2 is attributed to the high rate of energy consumption from burning of fossil fuel such as coal, oil and gases by the major industrialized nations. Though by global indices of classification Nigeria is not an industrialized country, she is feared to be a major contributor to global warming due to her large population and alternative means of energy consumption from fuel combustion machines. However, there are no reliable data to ascertain the amount of CO2 that is emitted in the Nigeria. The purpose of this research project is to accumulate a database of the CO2 emission in Nigeria from some major petroleum products (PMS, AGO and HHK). In this work, the theoretical approach of estimating the amount of CO2 that is emitted in a place and the prospect of using this formulation to obtain a database of CO2 emission in Nigeria is demonstrated. Thus CO2 emissions in the country are compared to those of the U.S which is an industrialized nation. Also, some ways in which CO2 emissions in Nigeria can be reduced are discussed.
