Energy is an essential ingredient for socio-economic and technological development of any nation. The electric power supply in the country, Nigeria is grossly inadequate, unreliable and inefficient. This has indeed retarded her socio-economic and industrial growths. The problems persist as a result of overdependence on fossil-fuels for power generation and the lack of diversity in the nation’s energy mix. Integrating the abundant biomass resources (that is available almost everywhere in the country) into the national energy mix will enhance the country to improve its electric power generation and reduce the GHG emission gradually. This work explored the different sources of biomass, identified the prospects, challenges of electricity production from biomass and made some recommendations towards improving electric power generation and GHG emission reduction. The available biomass resources in the country, if properly harnessed will reduce the persistent global energy pressure substantially. The work recommended policy implementation, marketing promotion, funding and supports as some of the ways of improving electricity generation through biomass.
