| Summary: | To reduce household air pollution,
improve health outcomes, save nonrenewable biomass, and
support local economic development, developing countries are
seeking to increase the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
as a clean cooking solution. In the absence of targeted
subsidies, LPG will not be the solution for the world's
poorest people. But many developing countries, especially in
Sub- Saharan Africa, are recognizing it as key to increasing
access to clean cooking energy and making progress on
Sustainable Development Goal 7; they are adopting ambitious
targets to scale up its use across the continent. |
