Abstract The rapid increase in global population and the great developments in industrial, commercial, agricultural sectors require large quantities of energy, and create a huge quantity of wastes that should be disposed of with minimum negative environmental impacts and costs. In evaluating national development and the standard of living for any nation, the supply and consumption of energy are important (Ukpai and Nnabuchi, 2012). Increasing in loading of obnoxious gases; CO2, N2O, CH4, CFCs etc. in the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels and other anthropogenic factors that led to increase in global warming resulting into climate change with attendant consequences of flooding, desertification, drought etc. The occurrence has necessitated the quest for alternative sources of fuels, green fuels, produced from biomass. These fuels are clean burning and result in no net increase in the proportion of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (Garba,1996; Adeyemo and Adeyanju,2008). |
