Abstract:
The document examines the impact of political involvement in Ghana's energy sector on the country's economy and environment. When politicians make decisions and appoint individuals to key roles in the energy sector based on political affiliations and considerations, it leads to a number of problems such as inefficiency, higher costs, and a lack of focus on solutions or renewable energy sources. The paper provides examples from the past, such as the AMERI power deal and changes in fuel prices, to illustrate how political interference can lead to issues. The problems include inefficient energy u

The International Energy Agency reports a surge of over 250 million tons in global carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector in 2022, reaching close to 8 gigatons, predominantly fuelled by increased passenger and cargo activities post the COVID-19 pandemic. The aviation sector, constituting 3% of human-induced CO2 emissions, played a pivotal role in this surge, highlighting the urgent need for transformative measures. The urgency of decarbonizing the aviation sector, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa is underscored, considering its projected contribution to global carbon emissions

Abstract:
Africa faces a critical energy challenge characterized by a heavy reliance on fossil fuels, limited electricity access — especially in rural areas - and underinvestment in renewable energy infrastructure. This paper examines the urgency of the energy transition across the continent, using Ghana as a case study. While nations such as Kenya and Ethiopia have advanced in their use of renewable energy, Ghana still relies heavily on fossil fuels due to challenges in infrastructure, national programs, and financing. Around 80% of the population in Ghana has access to electricity, but the disparity i

Abstract:
Enactment of Ghana's Petroleum (Local Content and Local Participation) Regulations, 2013 (L.I. 2204) was intended to regulate the percentage of local products, personnel, financing, and goods and services rendered within Ghana's upstream petroleum industry value chain. Five years after the inception of Ghana's upstream oil and gas industry, a gap is evident between the requirements of L.I. 2204 and professional practice. Drawing on Lewin's change theory, a cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the extent of differences between the prevailing human resource local content and the requir

Abstract:
Ghana experienced widespread power shortages due to series of droughts spanning from the 1980s to the 1990s. Energy efficiency programmes were identified to solve these energy supply challenges. Consequently, the residential sector has been recognized as an important target group for energy efficiency programmes in the country. The residential sector in Ghana accounts for 47% of the total final energy use. Reducing the inefficiencies in the residential sector energy use could be an effective way of reducing global energy use and related environmental impacts. Therefore, Ghana enacted four Legi

Decarbonisation is instrumental in attaining sustainable mobility. To actualize the Ghana Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) set emission reduction target of 15% relative to Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario by 2030, sustainable transport actions should be encouraged. Thus, promoting the use of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in automobiles is very crucial to ensure efficient and green mobility. Nonetheless, existing policies in Ghana overlook autogas (LPG/CNG) as prospective decarbonizing solution in the transport sector. The study employed survey analysis

The data used in modelling was sourced from news reports, company disclosures and the analogue Jubilee field in Ghana. Reservoir rock and fluid data from Jubilee Field was deemed an appropriate fit because of the corroboration provided by the Atlantic Drift Theory.
