Questions over role of LNG in Ghana’s growing gas sector

Quantum Power on 4 March signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with Micoperi, part of Protan Group, for the Tema liquefied natural gas (LNG) import, storage, regasification and delivery scheme. The project has the ambitious aim of being operational by year-end, providing enough gas to generate 2,000MW. Quantum Power signed heads of terms for the construction and operation of the project with Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) in February. The LNG project is the latest to announce progress, with Ghana 1000 and the West African Gas Ltd (WAGL) Tema schemes also taking shape.
