Comparative Insights on Sustainable Manufacturing Systems for Energy Efficiency in Nigeria

In order to fill in the gaps in empirical data and situational integration of sustainable manufacturing systems, this study compiles research on the following topics: energy efficiency, the impact of technology transfer on local industries, local design strategy adaptation, and a comparative analysis with other developing economies. This was accomplished by carrying out a methodical evaluation of peer-reviewed publications that applied quantitative modeling, case studies, and policy analysis to the manufacturing and energy sectors in Nigeria as a developing nation. It has been discovered that passive design and the integration of renewable sources can achieve an energy efficiency of 20–25%; however, the process is impeded by the legislative and infrastructure backlog. The financial, institutional, and sociocultural barriers that impede local innovations and industrial development continue to impede technology transfer procedures. Though they are not entirely relevant in settings related to manufacturing, locally adapted design methods are successful in co-creating strategies in the facilitation of building and rural energy systems. It will be challenging for Nigeria to directly adopt foreign models due to comparative evaluations that have identified Nigeria's policies as inconsistent and its infrastructure as inadequate when compared to peers. Understanding the significance of integrated and context-sensitive solutions which must be created to assist connect technical innovation with socio-political contexts is made easier by conceptualizing the findings. Nigeria and other developing nations apply the findings to enhance sustainable manufacturing systems through policy development, industrial policy, and scholarly discourse.
