Ghana is poised to lead West Africa in sustainable aviation fuel production using agricultural waste, backed by a new ICAO study.
Ghana is advancing toward becoming a regional leader in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, following a feasibility study by ICAO that confirms the country’s strong potential due to abundant agricultural residues, existing refining infrastructure, and regional trade links.
The study, supported by the UK Department for Transport, highlights SAF—made from non-petroleum sources—as key to achieving ICAO’s 2050 net-zero aviation emissions goal.
While challenges remain, including feedstock collection, high costs, and institutional coordination, officials emphasize the need for robust national regulations, certification, and policy alignment with international standards.
The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority is leading efforts to collaborate with government ministries and industry partners to ensure SAF development supports food security, environmental sustainability, and economic growth, with a focus on turning agricultural waste like cocoa husks into valuable energy resources.
