Abstract

This paper presents the energy demand and carbon footprints analysis in the University of Lagos, Nigeria, a subset of the service sector with additional unique features such as facilities for teaching, research, sport, etc. An energy-environment scenarios-based software, Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) is employed to analyse and project for energy consumption (excluding transportation) and the associated global warming potential (GWP) resulting from emitted air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) between 2009 and 2033. The energy mix comprises firewood, charcoal, LPG, kerosene, diesel, and electrical energy in the University. Results show that 70% of the total consumption occurs in the residential area, followed by the faculty and service area at 21.9% and the commercial centres at 8.1%. GWP has significant contributions from residential areas and commercial centres with biogenic CO₂ having 1100%, SO₂ 740%, and CO 330% at the target year.
