The Ministry of Energy has assured the public that all challenges delaying the full implementation of the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) are being addressed with input from key stakeholders.<\/p>\n
According to the sector minister, Herbert Krapa, the CRM is set to be effectively rolled out in 2025.<\/p>\n
The CRM is a distribution system where consumers exchange their empty LPG cylinders for filled ones at designated vending points.<\/p>\n
The empty cylinders are then transported to bottling plants, refilled, and made available for other consumers.<\/p>\n
Speaking during a media interview at the 2024 Women in Energy Outreach Programme, Mr. Krapa expressed optimism that by 2030, 50 percent of Ghanaians will have access to and use LPG as a primary energy source.<\/p>\n
The recirculation model is going well. We have had some initial concerns from stakeholders. We have broadened and deepened the stakeholder consultation. We expect that starting from next year, we will see a more aggressive rollout of the model.<\/p>\n
\u201c2030, we should have 50 percent of the Ghanaian people using cylinders as a source of cooking rather than firewood. And it is an ambitious programme, but we believe that we have the capacity to roll it out, and we call on all stakeholders to give us the needed support.\u201d<\/p>\n
