Zorluk: OrtaMineral and Energy Resources in Nigeria

Nigeria's thermal electricity generation relies predominantly on domestic fossil fuel deposits. Which of the following thermal power stations was historically built to utilize coal extracted from the Anambra Basin rather than natural gas from the Niger Delta?

  1. A
    Egbin Power Station
  2. Oji River Power StationCevap
  3. C
    Afam Power Station
  4. D
    Sapele Power Station

Cevap

Oji River Power Station
Oji River Power Station in Enugu State is historically renowned as Nigeria's key coal-fired thermal power installation, established to leverage the sub-bituminous coal deposits of the Enugu coalfields within the Anambra Basin. By contrast, facilities like Egbin, Afam, and Sapele are gas-fired thermal stations linked directly to petroleum and natural gas fields in the Niger Delta region.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the geographical distribution of fossil fuel resources in Nigeria
Coal deposits are concentrated in the sub-bituminous coal belt of the Anambra Basin (Enugu/Kogi/Benue region), whereas natural gas is abundant in the southern Niger Delta sedimentary basin.
Understanding resource geography helps correlate raw fuel locations with power infrastructure.
2
Match the specified thermal power station to its original primary fuel supply
Oji River Power Station was established in Enugu State specifically to harness coal from the local coalfield for thermal power generation.
Oji River is Nigeria's prime historical example of a coal-fired power plant built near coal mines.
