Decarbonisation and the Clean-Cooking Revolution: Why LPG Still Matters
Published: November 2025
Across Africa, governments are intensifying clean-cooking initiatives — and LPG remains at the heart of the transition. It’s efficient, portable, and significantly cleaner than coal, wood, or paraffin. While the world debates renewables and hydrogen, LPG continues to make an immediate impact on air quality, safety, and economic inclusion.
The Urgency of Clean Cooking in Africa
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 600,000 deaths annually in sub-Saharan Africa are linked to indoor air pollution caused by traditional cooking fuels. The push for clean cooking is not just environmental — it’s a public health imperative. LPG, with its low emissions and high energy efficiency, offers a scalable solution that can be deployed quickly across urban and rural communities.
In South Africa, initiatives like the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy’s Clean Energy Programme are accelerating the adoption of LPG as a household staple. These efforts are supported by private sector leaders like Zambezi Gas, who are building the infrastructure to make clean energy accessible to all.

LPG: The Transition Fuel That Works Today
While solar, wind, and hydrogen are part of the long-term energy mix, LPG is the transition fuel that bridges the gap between fossil fuels and renewables. It’s available now, it’s affordable, and it’s compatible with existing infrastructure. For families switching from wood or paraffin, LPG offers instant benefits: cleaner air, faster cooking, and reduced health risks.
The GlobeNewsWire LPG Market Forecast predicts continued growth in LPG demand across Africa, driven by urbanization, policy support, and rising awareness of clean energy benefits.
