Geothermal energy goldmine discovered in northeastern Nigeria, revolutionizing power generation.
The researchers used aeromagnetic data to estimate geothermal parameters in Monguno, Nigeria. They found that the Curie point depth in the area ranges from 10.318 to 24.476 km, with an average of 13.387 km. The geothermal gradient varies from 23.697 to 56.212°C/km, with an average of 46.195°C/km. The heat flow ranges from 59.242 to 136.176 mWm-2, with an average of about 112.364 mWm-2. The deepest Curie depth is in the south, while the highest geothermal gradient is in the north. The highest heat flow is in the south-west and north-east, indicating potential geothermal energy sources in Monguno, Nigeria.
