Cooking with Bottled Gas : Issues and Challenges in Developing Countries
This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of a study program assessing the role of liquefied petroleum gas in the context of contributing to the attainment of universal access to clean household fuel under the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7. The study findings suggest governments may wish to focus more on how to shift households to LPG to create a critical mass of consumers and economies of scale that can drive down costs and prices—starting with the better-off, if they are continuing to use biomass in traditional stoves—than on a target for LPG penetration, especially for rural households, or financial assistance. The regulatory actions proposed can help lower prices, increase safety, are cost-effective for facilitation of LPG adoption and use, and carry virtually no risk of adverse unintended consequences.

| Summary: | This report summarizes the findings
and recommendations of a study program assessing the role of
liquefied petroleum gas in the context of contributing to
the attainment of universal access to clean household fuel
under the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)
7. The study findings suggest governments may wish to focus
more on how to shift households to LPG to create a critical
mass of consumers and economies of scale that can drive down
costs and prices—starting with the better-off, if they are
continuing to use biomass in traditional stoves—than on a
target for LPG penetration, especially for rural households,
or financial assistance. The regulatory actions proposed can
help lower prices, increase safety, are cost-effective for
facilitation of LPG adoption and use, and carry virtually no
risk of adverse unintended consequences. |
