Abstract

Carbon dioxide is one the major precursor of climate change. The largest source of carbon emission is electricity generation from fossil fuel based power generators. It accounts for 31% of the total carbon emission globally. As the world clamor for cleaner source of energy generation, fuel les generator can serve as an alternative source of electricity generation for households. This paper analyzed the engineering dynamics and carbon foot print reduction potential of fuel less generator. The paper examined the design and construction of fuel less generator. Analyzed the engineering principles and intricacies of fuelless generator. Carbon footprint from household usage of conventional fossil fuel electricity has been also analyzed. The findings revealed that fuel les generator is powered by DC battery and the battery contuse to charge itself as the generator operates and therefore it is self-sustaining. Total pollution of Nigeria as at 2023 was 229.5 Million. Average of size of Nigeria house hold (HS) is 5.06 people. Number of households in Nigeria (NHH) from the analysis s 45.36 million. Number of Nigeria household that use gasoline generator to generate electricity for domestic use (NHG) is 18,142,292.4901Million. Average quantity of gasoline used by Nigeria household daily (QGNH) for electricity generation is 5 Littre per day and Quantity of CO2 emission (CO2EMg) per year of petrol (in tonnes of CO2) by Nigeria household from electricity generation is 208,273,517.79kg per year.(208273.52 metric tons per year. Therefore if household substitute fossil fuel generator with fuel less generator Nigeria will record 208273.52 metric tons of carbon footprint reduction yearly.
