The rare earth elements (REE) possess a beneficial combination of chemical and physical
properties, making them valuable for most advanced branches of engineering and …

Benue Trough basin is geologically subdivided into three segments. It consists of marine
and continental sediments that are affected by folding movements. In the upper section, the …

Abundant coal resources that were previously neglected due to a crude oil boom need
revitalisation and integration into the national electricity mix to address the energy demands …

Abstract The Benue Trough Basin (BTB) of Nigeria is geologically and geo-morphologically
subdivided into upper, middle, and lower segments. The BTB is the subject of geological …

This paper examines and highlights the energy recovery potential and emissions profiles of
three (3) newly discovered lignite coals from Obomkpa (BMK), Ihioma (IHM), and Ogboligbo …

The erratic supply of electricity in Nigeria has renewed interest in the utilisation of coal for
energy self-sufficiency and diversification of the national energy mix. In this study, selected …

Nigeria has significant coal deposits that are not well documented. This study considers the
petrography of coal confined in the Benue Trough, Nigeria. Petrographic analyses …

Cross-formational water flow has the potential to significantly impact the economic feasibility
and efficiency of coalbed methane (CBM) production, making it necessary to examine its …

Coal is a cheap and widely abundant fossil fuel that currently accounts for a significant share
(35–40%) of the global energy mix. As a result, coal-fired electricity has catalyzed rapid …

Selected coal samples from the Benue Trough Basin (Nigeria) were analysed by X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), laser ablation inductively …
