PART 2: Ghana's Energy Transition Efforts - Fuel Switch and Its Implications

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.
