Founded in 2010, XpressGas Ghana Limited (XpressGas) provides liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to households, institutions, and businesses. A Ghanaian-owned company, XpressGas aims to make LPG available, accessible, and affordable, and thus a better alternative to the solid fuel that 75 percent of Ghanaians rely on. In 2021, XpressGas successfully raised USD $6 million in equity and debt from the impact investing group Investisseurs & Partenaires and the Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries to increase LPG penetration and access.
