The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) is steadily rising to its feet, driven by the skill and dedication of Ghanaian engineers whose expertise is steering the facility toward a full comeback.
This was the message from TOR Managing Director, Edmund Kombat, as he addressed attendees at the induction ceremony of the newly elected executives of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), Ghana.
IET honoured Mr. Kombat for his leadership in transforming the refinery and encouraged him to continue pushing the agenda, pledging full support from the institute.
With optimism and renewed purpose, Mr. Kombat announced a significant milestone: TOR is on track to become fully operational by the end of the year.
The declaration was met with resounding applause, symbolizing hope that the refinery—once a cornerstone of Ghana’s energy sector—will soon regain its full capacity.
The ceremony also served as a celebration of the engineers whose ingenuity and resilience have powered TOR’s recent breakthroughs.
Mr. Kombat described them as the backbone of the refinery’s revival, noting that their technical expertise has been crucial in navigating the complex processes required to restore operations.
Beyond operational success, TOR’s revitalization carries broader national significance.
A fully functional refinery, Mr. Kombat stated, will boost Ghana’s local refining capacity, reduce reliance on imported petroleum products, enhance energy security, and unlock significant economic benefits within the downstream petroleum sector.
