Evaluating the impact of policy interventions on CO2 emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces the dual challenge of expanding energy access while minimizing environmental impact. Despite relatively low current emissions, rapid urbanization and industrialization threaten to significantly increase the region’s carbon footprint. This study examines the relationship between energy consumption and CO2 emissions in SSA using Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate various electricity consumption scenarios. Employing 1…
Spatial analysis and predictive modeling of energy poverty
External analysis of local content dynamics in the upstream petroleum sector of Ghana and Ivory Coast
Assessing the corporate social responsibility interventions in the Ghanaian oil and gas industry
No African country is Norway! A perspective on sovereign wealth funds and the energy transition
Between altruism and self-aggrandisement
Balancing debt with sustainability? Fiscal policy and the future of petroleum revenue management in Ghana
Switching on an Environmentally Friendly and Affordable Light in Africa
The purpose of this article is to review the dynamics of natural gas resources in Africa and evaluate how it can help solve the power challenges of the continent. This article develops from a descriptive analysis and desk review on natural gas and power. The key finding is that despite the increased discovery of natural gas in Africa, it has had minimal impact on power production. This study provides a descriptive overview and is limited to only …
An institutional assessment of the public interest and accountability committee (Piac) in Ghana’s oil and gas sector
Ghana’s Petroleum Revenue Management Act 815 (amended to Act 893 in 2015) established the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) in 2011 with the mandate to ensure accountability and transparency in the management and usage of oil and gas revenue. This paper critically examines the activities and operations of the PIAC from 2011 vis-à-vis its legally reposed mandate. It points to severe deficit in accountability but improvements in t…
Oiling the wheels of sub-national development
Politics of Oil and Gas in Ghana
The discovery of oil should transform economies, since oil revenues can be invested in infrastructure and the non-oil sector. Whilst oil discovery has transformed the economy of countries such as Indonesia, Norway and UK, the story is different in Sub-Saharan Africa. Available evidence in countries like Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Nigeria suggests that economic growth has an inverse relationship with oil production. Some researchers have attri…
