The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has initiated plans to revamp the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company (GCMC) in partnership with Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas) and Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) to enhance production capacity and efficiency.
At a high-level meeting chaired by Energy Minister John Abdulai Jinapor, discussions focused on providing the necessary support for GCMC’s full-scale operations.
Jinapor emphasized the company’s role in the local manufacturing industry and the government’s clean energy agenda.
“The revitalization of GCMC is crucial to positioning it as a key player in the production of high-quality LPG cylinders for both domestic and industrial use,” he stated.
To drive this transformation, the minister announced the formation of a committee to develop a comprehensive roadmap for cabinet consideration.
Upon approval, a Joint Project Implementation Committee—comprising representatives from the Ministry of Energy, Ghana Gas, GCMC, and the Ministry of Finance—will oversee the project’s execution.
The meeting was attended by key stakeholders, including Abdul-Rahman Mankir, Acting Managing Director of GCMC; Judith Blay, Acting CEO of Ghana Gas; Dr Robert Lartey, Deputy CEO of Ghana Gas; Alhaj Farihan Alhassan, Managing Director of GCB; and officials from the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.
The Ministry remains committed to strengthening local manufacturing, ensuring energy security, and promoting sustainable industrial growth in Ghana.
