Regan, Administrator, U.S. EPA, Virginia Palmer, Derrick Johnson, CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Puma Energy Ghana, a leading energy company, has reiterated its commitment to enabling access to energy and specifically clean cooking solutions as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, Michael S. Regan, visited its affiliate LPG (liquified petroleum gas) bottling facility.<\/p>\n<p>The visit, attended by Mr. Michael S. Regan, the Second Lady of the Republic of Ghana, Samira Bawumia, and U.S. Ambassador to Ghana Virginia Palmer, was aimed at familiarising them with Puma Energy Ghana\u2019s LPG operations and the important role it plays in enabling access to LPG in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>In sub-Saharan Africa, where an estimated 970 million people lack access to clean cooking fuels and technologies according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), LPG plays a vital role in the energy mix.<\/p>\n<p>Puma Energy provides safe, reliable, and affordable energy solutions across sub-Saharan African Africa, and is encouraging the transition to cleaner cooking fuels and solar power.<\/p>\n<p>Puma Energy\u2019s LPG strategy for the sub-Saharan Africa region is to ensure availability, accessibility, and affordability. This involves centralising supply management; setting up mobile cylinder-filling plants managed by local communities to bring the LPG closer to the end user; and working with regulators to allow consumers to buy LPG in small quantities that they can afford as they would charcoal, wood, or kerosene.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, Mr. Regan acknowledged the importance of enabling access to sustainable energy. \u201cAccess to clean and affordable energy is essential for economic development, reducing poverty, and mitigating the effects of climate change,\u201d said Administrator Regan. \u201cCleaner cooking solutions are not just better for the environment, they are better for your health,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the company\u2019s commitment to enabling clean cooking, Mr. Zwelithini Mlotshwa, General Manager of Puma Energy Ghana, said, \u201cLPG is a safe, convenient and cost-effective way to energise our communities; to enable cleaner cooking and reduce the negative impacts of burning traditional cooking fuels. \u00a0Beyond domestic use, LPG is a vital energy source for commercial and industrial applications, including in hotels, restaurants, hospitals schools, and shopping malls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Ambassador to Ghana Virginia Palmer, emphasised the importance of public-private partnerships to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. \u201cIt\u2019s essential to invest in clean cooking solutions.\u00a0 Working together with government entities and stakeholders, we can create positive change and improve the lives and health of the Ghanaian people,\u201d Ambassador Palmer said.<\/p>\n<p>Puma Energy\u2019s LPG bottling plant located in Tema is a US$6 million, state-of-the-art facility with the capacity to deliver 1200 cylinders of various sizes per hour.<\/p>\n<p>It adheres to strict health and safety standards, ensuring the production of high-quality LPG for domestic and commercial use. The plant will enable the rollout of the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) initiative in line with the Ghanaian government\u2019s agenda to encourage the use of LPG to attain a penetration target of 50% by 2030, ensure safety, and accessibility, and improve energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Daily Guide Report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From left: Perry C.K Okudzeto, Deputy Chief Executive, NPA, Samira Bawumia, Zwelithini Mlotshwa, Michael S.
