Yussif Sulemana, Technical Advisor to the Ministry, said that this forms part of the government’s long-term strategy to gradually shift the country’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels towards clean energy. He said that Ghana’s energy transition framework seeks to balance sustainability with economic growth. He said: “Our target is that by 2030, 10 per cent of our energy generation will come from renewables. This will be driven by innovation and collaboration and investment in green technologies like solar, hydrogen, and carbon capture. We are widening our technology base to build resilient systems that can meet our energy demand sustainably.”
He added that natural gas will continue to play a role as a transition fuel.
