Description of Project
This project intended to implement strategies that can increase the use of alternative energy sources, especially LPG, with a focus on innovations in financing, business models, and technology to increase the uptake of LPG.

- Equipment that addresses key community concerns around efficiency, safety & monitoring of use.
