 NOVA, an indigenous oil marketing company and a subsidiary of the CH Group, is keen on promoting green energy in Ghana with the donation of clean cooking stoves to local food cooking businesses in Weta in the Volta Region.
There are plans to expand this initiative to other fuel filling stations of the company branded as NOVA.
Speaking at the donation of clean cooking stoves to local food cooking businesses at NOVA Weta fuel filling station
Accra-Aflao Road, the Managing Director of NOVA, Kwasi Zigah, explained that they were bringing green energy to those commuÂnities as part of the companyâs commitment to promote clean cooking, green cooking.
âWe want to support the govÂernmentâs bold vision of carbon neutrality by 2024. Charcoal is carbon intensive so using charÂcoal for cooking means that you are contributing towards green gas emission. By donating clean cooking stoves to the commercial food cooking operators, we are promoting businesses and taking them off charcoal. We aim to emÂpower women in rural areas and other communities, and the clean cooking stoves we just donated are meant for chop bars and the community hotelâ, he added.
âBy the year 2030, the governÂment is looking at penetrating the cooking market to make sure that we reach 50 per cent penetration. What it means is that every home in Ghana should have clean cookÂing energy, and NOVA is proud to be a part of that,â Mr Zigah stated.
Mr Zigah said, âWhen you bring in your old cylinder, we will exchange it for you with a new cylinder with gas in it. You simply pay for the gas, and not for the cylinder. We are also able to deliver gas to your doorstep within minutes. My message is that if you have not tried Nova fuel before, maybe you have seen Nova station, but you have not turned in to try us, we urge you to do so because we have quality fuel for you and at the best prices.â
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Ms Mary Poasiegah said, âWe are so happy because these days things are very expenÂsive. If we should go and buy these clean cooking stoves from the market right now, they would be very expensive. But NOVA just called us to come for the free clean cooking stoves. We are so very happy for the stoves, and we are very grateful to NOVA for the donation.â
