President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, along with the board and management of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), to develop a roadmap for expanding the refinery's capacity to 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day. This announcement came during the commissioning of the refurbished refinery at the Tema Industrial Enclave, where the President emphasized the refinery's role in transforming Ghana into West Africa's leading petroleum refining, storage, and logistics hub.
Mahama highlighted the refinery's current achievements, including processing one million barrels of locally produced Jubilee Field Medium Sweet Crude into finished petroleum products, and pledged incentives for businesses operating 24 hours a day, such as tax relief, favorable energy tariffs, and duty-free importation of capital equipment for plant expansion.
