Industry

This sector represents about 16% of in-scope emission.

Sector Breakdown

0 MtCO2

emitted in 2020

Cement production, ammonia production and industrial heating account for 93% of the energy-related emissions from industry in Nigeria.

Emissions Breakdown (%)

Decarbonization Strategy

Emissions in this sector are reduced through the substitution of clinker with calcined clay and application of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) in cement production, the replacement of grey hydrogen (Hydrogen produced from fossil fuels) with green and blue hydrogen in ammonia production, and the adoption of zero emissions fuels such as clean electricity and hydrogen for heating instead of natural gas and biomass.
