Abstract

Bio-fuels are becoming an increasingly important alternative source of energy. The use of bio-fuels will reduce the use of fossil fuels, thereby minimizing the emission of green house gasses. Increased use of bio-fuels will enhance the quality of the environment. The use of bio-fuels is 100% environmental friendly, it is suitable and visible source of energy which will reduce the dependency on depleting fossil fuels. Increasing attention is being focused on the production of bio-fuels especially ethanol and bio-diesel as the alternative that will contribute to global reduction in greenhouse gas emission. This study attempts to explain the Status of Bio-fuels in Nigeria and presents the existing polices. It also focus on bio-ethanol production in Nigeria as well as strategies and policy framework for improving environmental health in Nigeria.
