Abstract: Environmental problems associated with fossil fuel were highlighted to see the need for alternative energy in Nigeria. This review identified the various types of pyrolysis and their major products that make them fit as a suitable alternative energy source. It described pyrolysis as a means of converting waste to wealth and as a good source of energy generation thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuel. It proffers low-cost solutions for energy generation. The study as a whole contributed to the sustainability of the environment and removal of agricultural waste that constitute nuisance to Nigeria physical environment.
