Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Global LPG Partnership (GLPGP) and the African Refiners and Distributors Association (ARDA) announce their intention to raise a $1 billion fund to enable clean cooking with liquified petroleum gas (LPG) for millions of people ahead of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa.<\/b><\/p>\n

This game-changing venture aims at stimulating and supporting rapid LPG sector development in Africa at scale, building on ARDA members\u2019 distribution and human capacity and GLPGP\u2019s LPG policy, regulatory, and investment planning capability. The goal is to catalyze large-scale, private-sector investment in both traditional LPG sector growth, and to realize the enormous potential of renewable LPG.<\/p>\n

Kimball Chen, Executive Chairman of the Global LPG Partnership, said: <\/b>\u201cAs we near the end date of the Sustainable Development Goals, over 2 billion people today still lack access to clean cooking solutions worldwide. The repercussions are both stark and preventable. 4 million lives, especially those of women, are lost to household air pollution from biomass cooking every year. 95% of these deaths take place in low and middle-income countries. Combined with ambient air pollution, this entails a loss of 6% of global GDP every year\u2013 only compounding a vicious cycle of poor health, poor productivity, and poverty. Beyond the health and economic burdens of unclean cooking, the environmental losses cannot be overstated. The demand for charcoal and firewood destroys forest areas the size of Ireland every year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clarion call for clean cooking solutions has never been more urgent. LPG not only offers a lifeline to millions but also paves the way for a greener, more sustainable future. We urge global leaders, institutional donors, and private stakeholders to seize this opportunity and commit to decisive action, safeguarding lives, livelihoods, and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anibor Kragha, ARDA Executive Secretary, said<\/b>: \u201cWhile the rest of the world has seen huge advances in universal clean cooking access, today, 4 in 5 Africans \u2013 roughly 1 billion people- still lack access to clean cooking. This remains not only one of the major barriers to achieving access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern access to energy on the continent but also one of its greatest health, economic, and environmental burdens.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the IEA\u2019s calculus, LPG is the primary solution to deliver clean cooking access by 2030. In the last decade, 70% of those who gained access to clean cooking did so through LPG. And yet, less than 30% of clean cooking plans in Africa are funded.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the first pan-African voice for the downstream oil sector, ARDA\u2019s vision is not only to serve as a leader in strengthening Africa\u2019s energy security but also in its transition to a renewable future. The level of funding and investment must meet the size of the challenge. This is why ARDA has joined forces with GLPGP to raise $1 billion in public and private financing to catalyze and scale LPG in the continent \u2013 the only practical, scalable, and life-saving solution on the road to net zero.\u201d<\/p>\n
