PIAC warns global energy transition policies adoption could threaten Ghana’s petroleum industry

According to him, while the transition to low-carbon energy is necessary, countries differ in their levels of development, energy demand and economic dependence on fossil fuel resources, making a common global implementation framework difficult.

Technical Director of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC), Mark Agyemang, has cautioned that adopting uniform global energy transition policies without considering Ghana's unique economic and energy needs could pose significant challenges to the country's petroleum industry.

He said such collaboration would also strengthen the country's negotiating position in international climate and energy discussions, ensuring that Ghana's development priorities are adequately reflected in global policy decisions.
