LPG as a transition fuel

Case study: Advancing clean cooking access through the G20 Clean Cooking Legacy Programme

During the 2025 G20 Summit, a landmark declaration was adopted recognising clean cooking as a critical global energy challenge. At the centre of this was the Voluntary Infrastructure Investment Action Plan: Closing the Clean Cooking Gap, aimed at expanding access to modern cooking solutions across sub-Saharan Africa, with LPG explicitly identified as a key part of the solution. Notably, clean cooking was established as a standing item on the G20 agenda for the first time.

G20 Clean Cooking Legacy Programme

The G20 Clean Cooking Legacy Programme was launched ahead of the summit to expand access to clean cooking in schools, households and communities, with the aim of providing a roadmap for integrating clean cooking into national and regional development strategies.

In October 2025, Petregaz South Africa supported this initiative in KwaZamokuhle, Mpumalanga, helping transition five schools from predominantly coal-based cooking to LPG. Serving approximately 7,000 learners under South Africa’s National School Nutrition Programme, these schools play a vital role in providing daily nutritious meals to learners.

Petregaz provided the annual LPG supply for these five schools, along with associated LPG safety training for the staff and learners, helping ensure a safe and sustained transition to clean cooking with LPG.

Beyond clean cooking, the programme helps deliver wider benefits, including reducing indoor air pollution, improving health outcomes for food handlers and learners, enhancing cooking efficiency, and advancing environmental sustainability. The implementation was managed by the LPG Association of South Africa (LPGSA), with support from other South African LPG industry players.

“Ensuring that every household can cook their daily meals using fuels that are affordable and not a risk to human health is one of the defining energy challenges of our time.”
