Kenya's LPG consumption declined in 2023 due to rising costs, leading to increased reliance on firewood, charcoal, and kerosene.
Kenya's LPG consumption declined to 6.8 kg per capita in 2023 due to rising costs, resulting in more low-income households relying on firewood, charcoal, and kerosene for cooking.

The government promotes LPG as a clean fuel, reducing pollution compared to biomass-burning stoves.
