Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has called on all developing nations to put together a comprehensive approach to cater for the transition of fossil fuel to renewable energy.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of a National Energy Transition Forum organized by the Ministry of Energy in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport, Finance, and Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation in Accra yesterday, under the theme ‘Moving Ghana Towards A Net-Zero Future.’
The Vice President indicated the costs associated with the continued use of fossil fuels as a driver of the economy are high now and may go even higher, and it is important that Ghana, as well as her neighbors and the rest of the developing world urgently put in place comprehensive, viable plans to cater for the transition from fossil fuels to renewables.
He added that Government shall also take further steps to promote clean energy sources including bio-fuels, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Electric, Hydrogen fuels, etc. as fuels for vehicles and provide low-carbon and highly competitive energy supply to establish Ghana as an energy and e-mobility hub for the West African Sub-Region.
