The Petroleum Hub Development Corporation (PHDC) has intensified efforts to attract strategic investments following a compelling presentation by its Chief Executive Officer, Dr Toni Aubynn, at the ongoing Global Energy Show (GES) in Canada.
Addressing global industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and energy stakeholders at the Executive Conference of the 2026 GES, Dr. Aubynn presented the vision, scale, and transformative potential of Ghana’s Petroleum Hub Project, describing it as the largest integrated petroleum and petrochemical development on the African continent.
In his presentation, Dr Toni Aubynn highlighted the Petroleum Hub as a strategic industrial initiative designed to position Ghana as a leading energy, logistics, refining, storage, and petrochemical hub for Africa and the global market.
He explained that recent geopolitical events have revived calls for Ghana to urgently fast-track the development of the Hub, as it is the surest way to ensure energy security.
“The need for modern storage infrastructure has never been greater. Storage capacity remains a critical component of energy security, supply chain resilience, and regional trade integration,” he explained.
“The western coast of Ghana offers a unique opportunity for the development of major deep-water port facilities and supporting infrastructure capable of serving both domestic and international energy markets,” Dr Aubynn stated.
Among the key infrastructure components planned under the project are three state-of-the-art refineries, tank farms, a jetty, and port facilities.
Beyond refining and storage, the Petroleum Hub Project is expected to stimulate the development of numerous ancillary industries and support services, creating opportunities across engineering, manufacturing, logistics, maritime services, construction, technology, and industrial operations.
