18 Feb WLGA to attend Global Energy Agenda at IEA Ministerial Meeting

(Oilandgaspress) -] The World Liquid Gas Association (WLGA) will participate in International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Access and Clean Cooking Ministerial Meetings taking place 18th -19th February in Paris, highlighting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the fastest scalable pathway to universal clean cooking access across the developing world.

The Ministerial High-Level Dialogue on Advancing Energy Access and Clean Cooking Solutions chaired by the Netherlands’ Deputy Prime Minister Sophie Hermans, serves as a critical milestone following the landmark 2024 Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa. Since then:

• US $470 million has been disbursed across 22 African countries to accelerate the deployment of clean cooking fuels, with US $2.2 billion pledged.
• LPG has driven around 70% of global clean-cooking gains since 2010. It is abundant, affordable, and deployable today, unlike large-scale electrification and many alternative energy solutions.
• Approximately 900 million Africans still lack access to clean cooking fuels, resulting in severe health impacts (particularly for women and children), widespread deforestation, and substantial losses in economic productivity. Roughly four in five people in Africa and 90% of schools relying on firewood or charcoal for cooking,
