Adoption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a clean cooking solution is lagging behind Kenya's 2030 development goal, despite several government initiatives along the LPG value chain. Until now, the government's strategy focused on reduc...

Adoption of liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) as a clean cooking solution is lagging behind
Kenya's 2030 development goal, despite several
government initiatives along the LPG value chain. Until now,
the government's strategy focused on reducing the cost
of LPG and increasing its use among lower-income Kenyans.
Sustainable uptake may be accelerated by taking vigorous
regulatory steps to reduce the consumer price and minimize
unlicensed LPG sales. Some measures include reviewing the
economics underpinning the intervention, creating an
enabling environment for LPG adoption by upper- and
middle-income groups, developing annual uptake targets, and
devising a better metric to measure progress. |
