This Research focuses on the application of various agricultural waste product in Nigeria for the production of biogas, as sustainable and renewable sources of energy. The study aims to explore the potential of utilizing agricultural waste, such as crop residues, animal manure, and organic VY products, as feedstock for biogas production. Through anaerobic digestion, these waste Materials can be transformed into biogas, which can then be harnessed for electricity generation, cooking fuel, and other energy needs in rural and urban areas. The Research methodology involves collecting and analyzing data from different regions of Nigeria considering factors such as waste availability, composition, and energy potential. Additionally, a comprehensive review of existing biogas plants, policies, and incentives in Nigeria will be conducted to assess the current state of biogas utilization. This analysis Will provide valuable insight into the challenges, opportunities, and feasibility of implementing biogas system on a larger scale across-the-board country. The finding of this study will contribute to the development of sustainable energy solutions in Nigeria, addressing the issues of waste management, deforestation, and reliance on fossil fuels. By promoting the adoption of biogas technology, this research aims to foster rural development, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance energy security in Nigeria. Furthermore, the study will provide practical recommendations, including policy suggestions and technological advancements to support the wider adoption of biogas production systems in the agricultural sectors. Through the application of innovative waste to energy solutions, Nigeria can not only mitigate environmental challenges associated with agricultural waste but also unlock an abundant source of renewable energy, leading to a more sustainable and resilient future for the nation.
