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. 

This project aims to promote access to LPG, to provide a higher quality of life and promote overall welfare, through innovative financing, novel business models, and technological advancements. Specifically, the study will test: 

  1. Business models with services that promote larger consumption of LPG (ie. post payment, installment payment, house delivery). • Pricing models that are feasible to low income, peri-urban communities. 
  2. Equipment that addresses key community concerns around efficiency, safety & monitoring of use.
