Description
Michael Ayine Alpha, Eric Yiadom, and Albert Ahenkan wrote this research paper, published in 2025. It grades Ghana's energy security and environmental sustainability with five statistical indices at once, and finds a system both concentrated and carbon heavy.
One index scored market concentration at 0.23, a moderate grip by few sources, with petroleum and biomass dominating the mix. Diversity indices showed variety on paper but imbalance in practice. An adjusted index that counts political risk scored just 0.37, exposing dependence on imported energy. Carbon intensity came in at 5.50 kilotons of carbon dioxide per unit of energy used, a heavy footprint. The authors urge Ghana to grow domestic production, widen its source mix, and adopt low-carbon technology before dependence hardens into vulnerability.
