Kenya is making a major push to leave its reliance on traditional biomass fuels behind, with the government setting its sights on achieving 70% clean cooking access by 2028. This ambitious goal is being driven forward by a significant investment from oil giant TotalEnergies, which is pouring millions into liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) infrastructure across the country. As a result, smoke-filled kitchens are slowly disappearing, and households are gaining access to cleaner, more efficient cooking options. With the health and environmental benefits of clean cooking already starting to make a tangible impact, Kenya's progress towards a smoke-free future is a heartening example of what can be achieved through government-private sector collaboration.
