Updated Key Climate Policy targets
- National Technology Action Plan (NTAP) for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in key economic sectors approved by the Federal Executive Council on 3rd May 2023 to serve as a Technology roadmap for meeting Nigeria’s NDC commitment under the Paris Agreement
- CCUS is prioritized as a critical technology in the NTAP
- Revised NDC update:20% unconditional and 47% conditional targets by 2030
- Net Zero target (Energy Transition) by 2060
- Long-Term Emissions Reduction Plan to achieve 50% by 2050 using a climate technology-led approach
Current Government Strategies for CCUS Development having prioritized CCUS technology in NTAP
- Identify near-term needs and opportunities for CCUS development and deployment that are consistent with Nigeria’s net zero emission target by 2060
- Create an enabling environment by identifying storage resources, matching emission point sources and industrial clusters with CO2 storage, developing legal and regulatory frameworks, performing techno-economic assessments, engaging with stakeholders, supporting capacity development, and piloting and demonstrating CCUS in industrial settings.
- African Carbon Management Technology and Innovation Centre of Excellence.
Deployment Policies, Programmes and Frameworks in place:
- Energy Transition Plan
- National Technology Action Plan for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
- National Council on Climate Change (NCCC) established
Priorities going forward
- Industrial CO2 CCUS Diagnostic and Scoping Study
- Legal and Regulatory Assessment & frameworks
- Institutional capacity development
