​Newgas is an LPG cylinder bottling provider in Ghana and a subsidiary of Arch Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned Ghanaian entity with interests in the petroleum trading & distribution, terminals & infrastructure development, power generation, and technology & communications sectors.

 

Newgas was created as part of Arch Holdings' wood fuels-to-LPG conversion program and also in response to the Government of Ghana’s agenda to implement the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) in Ghana to promote the use of LPG as a clean cooking fuel. Newgas is actively involved in the development of several LPG cylinder bottling plants. These plants will play a crucial role in facilitating the distribution and uptake of LPG, replacing traditional wood fuels for cooking purposes.

​

The first bottling plant is located in Tema, marking a significant step forward. Following this, another plant is planned for Kumasi, with four additional satellite plants to be strategically positioned across key regions of Ghana. These initiatives highlight Newgas’ commitment to fostering a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape and promoting broader acceptance of LPG as a safer and more eco-friendly cooking alternative.

​

The Tema bottling facility is being developed in two phases. The first phase, now completed, has the capacity to fill over 25,000 LPG cylinders per day across its two carousels and two filling stands. The facility is equipped with an Automated Terminal Management System, palletizer, cylinder maintenance line, cylinder washing machines, control room, and fire fighting system.

​

In the second phase, two more carousels will be added, increasing the facility’s capacity to fill over 51,000 LPG cylinders per day.
