AI Energy Group, a wholly Ghanaian-owned oil and gas company, has met all international requirements and standards and has commenced the supply of IMO2020 compliant fuel, which is known as the fuel for the future, to its growing clients in Ghana and beyond.
In a landmark decision for both the environment and human health, January 1, 2020 has been set as the implementation date for a significant reduction in the sulphur content of the fuel oil used by ships.
As the risk of piracy along the Gulf of Guinea are increasing by day, Ghana is collaborating best measures to strengthen the maritime security operations in the Gulf of Guinea.
“Thanks to the measures taken by Ghana and AI Energy, vessel Owners are guaranteed safe, timely and closely monitored bunkering operations."
“Piracy levels seen last year were relatively higher than records of the past decades.”
As part of efforts to combat this menace, the Ghana Navy has berthed an Italian Navy Ship known as Luigi Rizzo which would operate in the Gulf of Guinea until she is replaced with other navy vessels in early June.
The Deputy Minister for Energy, Mohammed Amin Adam spoke about the impact of the Upstream petroleum industry on the environment. He pointed out that Ghana’s carbon emissions had increased three-fold with the Upstream Sector contributing largely due to the activity on the Jubilee, TEN and Sankofa fields. He advised companies to curtail emissions and eschew flaring while accelerating production to maximise opportunity while demand is high before we are made to transition into a green economy.
Gasoline is the fuel designed for use in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. Gasoline is a mixture of hundreds of hydrocarbons, many of which have different boiling points.
Thus gasoline boils or distills over a range of temperatures, unlike say water, which is a pure compound and boils at a single temperature. In certain parts of the world, gasoline is called petrol.
A type of combustible liquid for use in internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place without a spark because of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel.
This is the fuel that primarily drives the economy of Ghana.
Marine Gas Oil from AI is designed for use in all diesel-fuelled engines in mobile, portable and stationary applications.
It has maximum sulfur content of 10mg/kg.
Extra Low Sulfur Diesel has excellent lubricity properties and meets or exceeds the Fuel Injection Equipment Manufacturers recommendation for diesel fuel lubricity.
We have a stock of AI branded Lubricants as well as other top branded lubricants for vehicles, vessels, etc. Marine Lubricants of any grade, brand, quality, quantity can be delivered Onshore, Anchorage and Offshore in any waters in Ghana and the African regions.
Kerosene, known as paraffin oil, is a flammable liquid obtained by distilling petroleum at a high temperature. Kerosene has been widely produced since 1846, although it didn't become popular as an useful element until a few years later.
Kerosene is primarily used for heating and fueling vehicles. Up until electricity was invented, kerosene was the main source of lighting, as it was used widely in home lanterns.
Residual Fuel Oil (RFO) is a low grade of fuel oil which contains the undistilled residue from atmospheric or vacuum distillation of crude oil and may be called Bunker Fuel Oil, No. 6 Fuel Oil, or heavy Fuel Oil.
