An
integrated
energy
company,
Tetracore
Energy
Group,
is
set
to
launch
Ghana’s
first
virtual
gas
pipeline
network
and
compressed
natural
gas
(CNG)
mother
station
before
the
end
of
this
year.
The
initiative,
expected
to
boost
Ghana’s
industrial
growth
and
economic
development,
follows
the
company’s
acquisition
of
all
necessary
licences
to
supply
natural
gas
through
the
West
African
Gas
Pipeline
network.
A
statement
issued
by
the
Company
in
Accra,
yesterday,
said
the
project
would
be
a
replication
of
the
company’s
successful
efforts
in
Nigeria,
where
they
recently
commissioned
a
6.2MMscfd
CNG
facility
and
commenced
a
10MMscfd
small
scale
liquefied
natural
gas
(LNG)
project.
“This
facility
will
complement
the
country’s
continued
efforts
to
provide
a
cleaner,
more
cost-effective
alternative
to
traditional
fuels,
enabling
industries
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprint
while
significantly
enhancing
efficiency.
“This
aligns
perfectly
with
Ghana’s
aspirations
for
sustainable
development.
Tetracore’s
influence
extends
beyond
industrial
applications,”
the
statement
said.
It
said
the
project
would
play
a
crucial
role
in
Ghana’s
power
generation
landscape
by
enhancing
gas
supply,
and
contributing
to
providing
energy
security
and
stability
in
the
country.
The
statement
described
Tetracore
as
one
of
the
fastest-growing
energy
brands
in
the
West
African
regions,
with
a
presence
in
Nigeria,
Ghana,
and
Equatorial
Guinea.
It
said
since
expanding
from
Nigeria,
the
company
had
become
a
key
player
in
revolutionising
access
to
energy
across
West
Africa
in
line
with
its
aim
of
fostering
regional
energy
integration.
Commenting
on
the
development,
the
Chief
Executive
Officer
of
Tetracore
Energy
Group,
Olakunle
Williams,
said
“our
diverse
portfolio
allows
us
to
offer
tailored
solutions
across
the
entire
energy
value
chain.
Our
adaptability
and
customer-centric
approach
make
us
an
ideal
partner
for
addressing
Africa’s
varied
energy
needs.
We
are
set
up
to
provide
a
wide
range
of
services,
including
natural
gas
distribution,
CNG
solutions,
gas-to-power
solutions,
and
renewable
energy
initiatives.
This
holistic
approach
enables
us
to
contribute
significantly
to
addressing
energy
challenges
at
multiple
levels.”
The
statement
said
apart
from
infrastructure
development,
Tetracore
was
committed
to
nurturing
local
talent
and
expertise
and
was
considering
the
establishment
of
a
comprehensive
energy
training
programme
in
Ghana
to
ensure
the
transfer
of
knowledge
and
local
capacity
development
within
the
sector.
“As
a
key
player
in
the
West
African
energy
market,
Tetracore
actively
promotes
inter-African
trade
and
regional
energy
cooperation.
This
aligns
with
initiatives
such
as
the
African
Continental
Free
Trade
Area
(AfCFTA),
supporting
infrastructural
development
and
energy
security
across
the
continent,”
the
statement
said.
The
statement
invited
local
industries,
policymakers,
and
communities
to
join
in
the
company’s
vision
of
a
sustainable,
energy-secure
future
in
order
to
set
a
model
for
sustainable
development
across
Africa.
