The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has reassured the public that the risk of being shortchanged at gas filling stations will be eliminated with the introduction of the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM).

This confidence stems from the use of automated machines to fill empty cylinders at various bottling plants, which reduces the chance of human error or tampering.

NPA Communications Manager, Mohammed Abdul-Kudus, shared this during an interview on Accra-based Adom FM on Tuesday.

He addressed worries about potential inconsistencies in the amount of gas in filled cylinders, stressing that the automated process guarantees precise measurements.

"These concerns have been raised, but just as we trust the quantity in canned products because they are filled automatically, the same will apply to the gas cylinders. The cylinders will be sealed automatically, with no human intervention that could lead to cheating," Abdul-Kudus explained.

He further assured that customers who are still doubtful will have access to scales at the filling stations to weigh their cylinders and verify the correct measurements.

"There will also be a scale available, so if you are in doubt, you can weigh your cylinder to verify the measurement. So we can give the assurance that there is no cause to doubt the quantity," he added.

The Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) seeks to ensure that by 2030, at least 50 percent of Ghanaians have access to safe, clean, and eco-friendly LPG.
