Energy and the environment in Ghana: issues and challenges
by Charles Wereko-Brobby, Essel Ben Hagan
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 3, No. 1, 1991

Abstract: Sustainable development in Ghana, as in many similar sub-Saharan African countries, requires the provision of sufficient levels of energy. In these countries, the 'environmental crisis' has, to some extent, overtaken the 'energy crisis' as a major factor in the decline of social and economic conditions. The challenge of development is to meet increased energy needs, while at the same time preventing further environmental damage. In this context, the energy choices facing many African countries are based on three pillars: (1) growth in energy use; (2) a shift from primary fuels to secondary forms; and (3) efficiency in the conversion and use of all energy resources.
