PHDC Advances Integrated Petroleum Hub Vision with Global Investor Engagements and High-Level Convention Presence

Accra | 10 September 2025 - The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation (PHDC), Dr. Toni Aubynn, joined a host of industry leaders and government dignitaries at the opening of the Mining & Minerals Convention 2025 at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra. His presence underscored Ghana’s determination to link extractive industries with its broader energy transformation agenda, particularly the drive to establish an Integrated Petroleum Hub.

The PHDC has recently expanded its international outreach to court investment and deepen strategic partnerships. In Kuala Lumpur, the Corporation hosted an Investor Breakfast designed to showcase Ghana’s hub potential to Asian financiers, energy companies, and industrial players. The event highlighted opportunities across refining, petrochemicals, and logistics infrastructure—pillars of the petroleum hub project that could position Ghana as a supply-chain gateway between Africa, Asia, and global markets.

Momentum continued back home, where PHDC joined the Accra Investor Briefing, engaging stakeholders across finance, energy, and government. The sessions provided a platform to update both domestic and international investors on project milestones, regulatory assurances, and the potential for regional economic spillovers. The petroleum hub is projected to create thousands of jobs, stimulate industrialisation, and enhance Ghana’s export earnings, while positioning the country as a key player in Africa’s evolving energy architecture.

The strategic sequencing of global and local engagements reflects PHDC’s dual mission: to ground the hub’s vision in Ghana’s long-term industrial strategy while opening pathways to foreign capital and expertise. It also signals Ghana’s broader commitment to sustainable resource development, linking the petroleum agenda to parallel reforms in mining, energy transition, and infrastructure.

Looking ahead, PHDC’s challenge will be translating investor interest into binding commitments that can deliver the hub’s ambitious infrastructure. With a blend of diplomatic presence, investor networking, and policy clarity, Ghana is steadily moving from vision to execution—projecting not only national ambition but also continental leadership in energy transformation
