The select Committee on Energy and Mines in Parliament has expressed concern about the inability of the Ministry to conclude the pilot phase of the Cylinder Re-circulation Model (CRM) following the adoption of the policy in 2017.
The Ministry attributed the delay to the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 pandemic which affected their project schedules for the second pilot phase in other regions of the country.
This was revealed by the Select Committee on Energy and Mines in its reports on the 2021 draft annual budget estimates of the Ministry.
They indicated that results from the Phase 1 Pilot were positive and assured the Committee of expediting actions to complete the rest of the pilot projects in order to roll it out nationwide.
As part of the scaling up plans, the Ministry is collaborating with the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company Ltd to expand the company’s capacity to manufacture more quality LPG cylinders.
