  "account": "Ghanaian downstream petroleum company Xpress Gas Limited has entered into an agreement with Polygon (Beijing) Energy Technology Corporation to promote the domestic use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) through a cylinder recirculation model (CRM) in the country. The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) launched the CRM policy in 2023 with the goal of increasing LPG access to up to 50% by 2030. Under this policy, existing and new LPG users will exchange empty cylinders for filled ones instead of visiting refilling stations, aiming to improve accessibility and safety for consumers. Xpress Gas, a licensed LPG marketing company, began piloting CRM in 2017 and has since expanded its operations in Accra, Tema, Kasoa, Assin Foso enclave, and Kumasi. The partnership with Polygon, a high-tech-based LPG industry service provider, will leverage Polygon's expertise in LPG internet of things (IoT) solutions, artificial intelligence systems, and intelligent multi-in-one hardware and software products. This collaboration seeks to enhance cylinder development and accessibility in support of the government's LPG penetration goals in Ghana.",
