The KNUST contestants, Emmanuel Yankson and Nicholas Obeng Antwi are from the Chemical Engineering Department in the College of Engineering.
The Gas Challenge is designed to refine society on the domestic use of gas, the economic opportunities along the gas value chain and the health and safety matters related to the use of gas. The competition is aimed at educating the general public on the operations in the gas industry in Ghana.
The KNUST team is expected to meet the University of Ghana team and the winner of the zone 3 contest (which is yet to be held) at the grand finale of the second edition of the Gas Challenge.
