Critical factors in bioenergy implementation in Ghana

The implementation of Bioenergy technology has become the concern of many in recent years. This research contributes to the identification and analysis of factors that facilitate the implementation of Bioenergy technology including barriers and drivers behind Bioenergy market growth in Africa and for that matter Ghana. The paper talks also about the growth of different Bioenergy systems available for decision making within the various institutions and industry for administrative purposes. The following critical factors are identified, know-how in the various Bioenergy companies, economic conditions and supply chain coordination. They are affecting the Bioenergy industry in Ghana positively and negatively. The case studies reveal the four main points about barriers. Firstly, there are no absolute barriers when it comes to the realization of the potentials of Bioenergy in Ghana. Secondly, technical issues rather do not hinder the growth of Bioenergy like non-technical challenges. Thirdly, Bioenergy barriers are dynamic depending on the context and fourthly, efforts are being made consistently to intervene and overcome barriers in various case studies
