Abstract
Nigeria as a country is suffering from acute shortage of power supply for both industrial and domestic use. Most of the renewable energy sources are underutilized including geothermal sources. The wide range of geologic formations in the north-eastern Nigeria provides an avenue for exploration and exploitation of geothermal energy. Therefore this paper focuses on finding the possible geothermal reservoirs existing in Nigeria in order to help in solving the Nigeria’s energy crisis. Geology and mineral maps were utilised using overlay method. Two volcanic points and one fumarole were identified and they were recommended to be suitable for geothermal energy generation.
