Synopsis

The problem of this study was propelled by the need to empirically assess Ghana’s energy needs, and hence ways of meeting its net demand to support industrialization, or commerce that will foster growth. The production of Crude Palm Oil (CPO), will serve as a double edge sword to bring about economic development on one hand and also produce renewable energy to power a rural community. The prospects of the waste from CPO as the alternative energy source that can power rural development in a sustainable manner were researched. Research questions that sought to examine Ghana’s present energy source vis-à-vis rural electrification as well as a sustainable alternative energy source available for rural energy demand that will supplement the existing national grid, using Kokofu, and NGL as a case study was analysed. It is a fact that, the energy demand of Ghana is not met, as supply of electricity falls short of the increasing demand and that the distribution system does not reach all corners of Ghana. The research concluded that a renewable energy source generated from the processes of CPO will be of prime importance to the nation as a whole with its minimal impact on the environment.
