Title A name given to the resource Market Potential Analysis of Renewable Energy Technology for Household Application in Ghana (A Case Study of Solar in Accra). Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cephas Raphael Kwakye Konadu Description An account of the resource This study analyses the market potential of renewable energy technology for household use in Ghana. The research used solar technology in the Greater Accra Region as a case study. With the research on the resource and techno-economic potential of solar already done, the next step was to analyse the market potential to ascertain the existence of the demand for the technology. The study accessed the awareness and potential adoption of the renewable energy. It also evaluated the barriers preventing the mass adoption and diffusion of the solar technology. The research also looked at how policy initiatives of the regulatory body for the renewable energy sub sector is affecting the acceptance and popularity of the technology. A research design for descriptive survey was used for the study with data collection done using online questionnaire and interview. A total of 376 people from the general public were sent questionnaires via an online tool called Google Forms for the acquisition of data for quantitative analysis. Personnel of the Energy Commission and key industry players were interviewed using pre-structured questions. The results from the study show that households in Ghana are aware of renewable energy and very interested in the adoption of the technology. Over 99% of the respondents knew about solar though other renewable sources like geothermal and tidal were not that popular. However, barriers like high initial installation cost, access to funds and inadequate availability of technical experts hinder the adoption of the technology. The study revealed that over 80% of the respondent has concerns with respect to the high initial cost of the installation of solar. Based on these challenges, the government is being urged by stakeholders to make policies or revise existing ones to reduce the cost burden on the consumers to facilitate adoption and mass diffusion of the technology. Some recommendations which were proposed included an improvement of the net metering system and tax cuts or free duty for the importation of renewable energy equipment into the country. It was also recommended that renewable energy companies should seek a market model like partnering with the banks to make affordable payment plans available for prospective customers.

Title A name given to the resource The impact of occupational health and safety and Challenges in Ghana’s oil and gas industry. A case of Ghana Oil Company limited. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Amui Denis Nii-Komiete Description An account of the resource Occupational Health and Safety is concerned with health, safety and welfare of people at the work place. The objective of all occupational health and safety programmes is to promote a safe work environment. The oil and gas industry is one of the riskiest industries when it comes to health and safety of employees. It is in the light of this that this study takes a look at the impact and challenges of occupational health and safety in the oil industry taking Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL) as a case study. The study seeks to identify factors that cause accidents in the oil and gas industry, assess the impact and challenges of occupational health and safety in the industry, identify effectiveness of workers compensation on health and safety matters and measures required to minimize the risk of exposure to occupational health and safety hazards. Questionnaire were designed on these objectives and distributed to a sample size of GOIL staff from various departments with different backgrounds and experiences. Responses from respondents were coded and analyzed using statistical tools to arrive at various findings. The study indicated that the major causes of accident in the oil and gas industry include the non-use of protective clothing and equipment, inadequate health and safety training and education, and no refusal of employees to execute unsafe work. Challenges of occupation health and safety outlined by the study include poor recordings and reporting of accidents and occupational diseases, lack of funds and health and safety expertise and lack of support medical care and counseling. The study also showed that the main workers compensation on health and safety matters includes medical care, disability income and rehabilitative services and death benefits. Effective training on the use of equipment, health and safety education and training and dissemination of health and safety information are the main strategy identified by the study as measures to reduce risk of exposure to occupational health and safety hazards in the oil and gas industry.
