Part 1 focused on the historical data/information on Ghana’s energy generation through the use of crude oil. Ghana started commercial exploration of oil in 2011, which expectedly led to increase or more generation of natural gas. This led to a policy decision (other than just flaring) to maximize the natural gas by converting it as (transition) fuel for power generation. Part 2 of this paper therefore focuses on natural gas production and how its usage have contributed to Ghana’s emission reduction efforts based on 2021 data.

Ghana, in addition to climate-related policies, strategies and plans has developed a National Energy Transition Framework (2022) subsequently leading to the development of the Ghana Energy Transition and Investment Plan (GETIP, 2023). This plan comes with some critical implications, which this paper seeks to highlight with the aim of contributing or informing the decision-making processes. Part 1 of this paper will focus on the historical data/information on Ghana’s crude oil production and usage as well as an underlining controversy.

The AfDB’s Country Focus Report (CFR) are policies that seek to accelerate African countries' economic growth and build resilience to shocks. They provide governments and potential investors with up-to-date, accurate data to inform policy and investment decisions. This paper raises some observations from the bank’s 2022 CFR for Ghana, which primarily focuses on climate resilience (agriculture), just energy transition and climate finance.
