09 Apr LPG Expo 9th – 10th April in Johannesburg

The World Liquid Gas Association (WLGA) is participating in the Sub-Saharan Africa LPG Expo taking place 9^th – 10^th April in Johannesburg, at a time of heightened demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in southern African cities. Michael Kelly, Chief Advocacy Officer and Deputy Managing Director of WLGA will join over 2,000 delegates from the international energy community and clean cooking experts to accelerate LPG use in Africa.

Key moments of the Expo will include:

• A Cooking For Life Workshop, hosted by the WLGA Cooking For Life Africa Taskforce will empower individuals to share proven strategies for expanding LPG access and best practices for clean cooking programmes.
• The official launch of the Saudi Forward7 Initiative Africa Clean Cooking Competition, a cross-sector programme designed to identify and scale innovative clean cooking solutions across Africa.
• Taking place under the theme of “Clean Cooking for a Greener, Healthier Sub-Saharan Africa” the Expo will highlight that LPG is abundant, affordable, and deployable today and has driven around 70% of global clean-cooking gains since 2010.

The Expo is another critical milestone for the global LPG community ahead of the IEA’s second Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa set to take place 9^th – 10^th July in Nairobi, Kenya, as well as the WLGA’s Liquid Gas Week which will convene the global LPG industry in Istanbul, Turkey 12^th – 16^th October under the theme ‘Resilience in a Changing World’.
