Ghana’s Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has initiated plans to revamp the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company (GCMC) to enhance its production capacity and efficiency.
This move aims to strengthen local manufacturing, ensure energy security, and promote sustainable industrial growth in Ghana.
In a high-level meeting chaired by Minister John Abdulai Jinapor, discussions were held with Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas) and Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) to forge a strategic partnership.
The partnership will provide necessary support for GCMC’s full-scale operations, focusing on producing high-quality LPG cylinders for domestic and industrial use.¹
Minister Jinapor emphasised GCMC’s potential to contribute to Ghana’s clean energy agenda and local manufacturing industry.
To facilitate this transformation, a committee will develop a comprehensive roadmap for cabinet consideration. If approved, a Joint Project Implementation Committee will oversee the successful execution of the revitalization plan.
The meeting was attended by key stakeholders, including Mr. Abdul-Rahman Mankir, the Acting Managing Director of GCMC; Madam Judith Blay, Acting CEO of Ghana Gas; Dr. Robert Lartey, Deputy CEO of Ghana Gas; Alhaj Farihan Alhassan, Managing Director of Ghana Commercial Bank; and officials from the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.
According to the Ministry, it remains committed to strengthening local manufacturing, ensuring energy security, and promoting sustainable industrial growth in Ghana.
