Mainstreaming von Klimaschutzmassnahmen im nigerianischen Verkehrssektor

The document analyzes Nigeria's transport sector, which is heavily dependent on fossil fuels and accounts for 24% of national GHG emissions. It evaluates current policies, emerging green initiatives like the P-CNGI and Lagos E-Mobility Project, and provides recommendations for integrating climate action into national transport planning, drawing on lessons from Ethiopia and Kenya.

• The transportation sector is a major source of environmental impact in Nigeria, accounting for 24% of the country's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2020.
• Road transport is the dominant mode of internal movement in Nigeria, representing over 90% of internal mobility and approximately 69% of the country's total carbon emissions.
• Nigeria's transport sector is the largest consumer of fossil fuels, with the Energy Commission of Nigeria estimating it accounts for approximately 70% of total consumption across all economic sectors.
• Current climate action within transport planning is marginal, with key agencies such as the Ministry of Transport, NRC, and NPA lacking climate-smart frameworks or emission reduction targets.
• The Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGI) aims to convert one million vehicles to CNG by 2027 and establish a nationwide network of filling stations.
• Nigeria has pledged to achieve zero vehicle emissions by 2040, which includes phasing out internal combustion engines (ICE) in new cars and vans.
• Several urban-scale green initiatives are underway, including the Lagos E-Mobility Project targeting 1,000 EVs for the LAGRIDE taxi fleet, the fully electric Blue Line Rail in Lagos, and the Abuja Light Rail system.
• The removal of fuel subsidies on May 29, 2023, has increased costs for consumers, creating a potential economic driver for the adoption of cleaner alternatives like LPG, CNG, and EVs.
• Existing policy frameworks are fragmented; the National Transport Policy has not been updated since 1993, and many current green initiatives operate in silos without national coordination.
• Comparative analysis shows that Ethiopia has successfully accelerated EV adoption by banning non-EV imports and providing duty-free imports for EV parts, while Kenya has focused on BRT implementation and electrifying its standard gauge railway.
