AUTOGAS FILLING STATION DESIGN, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COURSE OUTLINE
As Ghana moves toward diversifying its energy mix and promoting cleaner fuel alternatives,
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) – or Autogas is becoming an essential part of the transportation
fuel landscape. This 5 days intensive training aims to provide participants with comprehensive
knowledge and practical skills in the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of Autogas
filling stations. Participants will explore global best practices, safety standards, regulatory
frameworks, and emerging technologies that impact Autogas infrastructure. This training
combines theoretical insights with real-world case studies to equip participants with the tools
needed to effectively supervise, regulate, or participate in Autogas projects in Ghana.
Course Objective
Upon completion, delegates will be able to;
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
