Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang held a strategic meeting with Portage Energy, a global clean-energy firm specialising in sustainable waste management, waste-to-energy conversion, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production.
The engagement forms part of government’s broader efforts to explore innovative and efficient solutions to Ghana’s growing waste-management challenges.
Portage Energy presented its advanced technologies for converting waste into energy and cleaner fuel alternatives, outlining models that could align with Ghana’s environmental and economic priorities.
Addressing the delegation, the Vice President reaffirmed government’s commitment to partnerships that deliver real, measurable impact.
She noted that Ghana’s current economic and policy outlook requires development relationships grounded in transparency, responsibility, and shared national value.
“In the economic and political climate we find ourselves in today, Ghana is not looking for relationships built on slogans or promises that do not translate into real results,” she stated. “We want partnerships that respect our national priorities and ensure that the Ghanaian people are the ultimate beneficiaries.”
Professor Opoku-Agyemang emphasised that responsible waste management remains critical to public health, environmental sustainability, industrial growth, and the overall attractiveness of Ghanaian cities.
“Any partnership we enter must strengthen our national systems and contribute meaningfully to long-term development,” she said. “We want solutions that deliver measurable outcomes for the country.”
The Vice President described the meeting as a promising step toward advancing Ghana’s clean-energy and sustainability ambitions.
She expressed optimism about continued dialogue as both sides examine how best to pursue a collaboration that is technically sound, transparent, and beneficial to Ghanaians.
Portage Energy officials welcomed the government’s commitment to value-driven cooperation and indicated readiness for further technical engagements.
Both parties agreed to continue discussions in the coming weeks to shape practical frameworks that can support Ghana’s long-term waste-to-energy and sustainability agenda.
