Ghana could save $500m a year by switching from liquid fuels to gas – Energy Advisor

Ghana could save close to US$500 million annually by switching from liquid fuels to natural gas for power generation, Technical Advisor to the Minister of Energy and Green Transition on Petroleum, Ing. Dr Sulemana Yussif, has said. He said expanding the country’s gas-processing capacity would be critical to achieving the savings as Ghana seeks to reduce its reliance on more expensive liquid fuels for thermal power generation. “If we switch from liquid, let’s say LCO, light crude oil, to generate power and use gas, we are saving closer to half a billion on an annual basis,” Dr Sulemana said.
