Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has emphasized the importance of Ghana's energy transition framework in promoting economic growth and employment opportunities during the ongoing UK-Africa Ministerial Roadshow on decarbonisation.

The Minister reiterated that the implementation of this framework is expected to generate over 1.4 million new jobs, presenting a significant opportunity for the country's workforce.

To achieve this ambitious target, Ghana is actively seeking strategic partnerships with the private sector to encourage substantial investments in clean energy resources and the necessary infrastructure.

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh emphasized the essential role of collaboration between the government and private enterprises in successfully developing sustainable energy solutions.

He highlighted that Ghana's energy transition framework revolves around the concept of green manufacturing, focusing on environmentally friendly production processes.

Furthermore, the framework encompasses the adoption of advanced technologies such as carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), nuclear power, hydrogen gas for transportation and electricity generation, e-mobility, charging infrastructure, clean cooking stoves, energy storage, solar PV module production, wind turbines, and hydropower development, among other initiatives.

By leveraging these innovative technologies and embracing clean energy solutions, Ghana aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions while fostering economic growth and job creation.

Dr. Prempeh emphasized the country's commitment to building a sustainable future, with green energy at the forefront of driving progress and prosperity.
