Kenya is making a major push towards cleaner cooking, with the government setting an ambitious target of achieving 70% access to clean cooking by 2028. A key player in this effort is French energy giant TotalEnergies, which has made significant investments in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) infrastructure across the country. The company's investments aim to reduce the reliance on traditional biomass fuels, such as charcoal and firewood, which are a major contributor to indoor air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, smoke-filled kitchens, a common sight in many Kenyan homes, are slowly disappearing, bringing with them improved health and environmental benefits for the country's residents.
