About this project

PayGo is developing a large-scale program that will deploy LPG stoves in Kenya in order to reduce the demand for expensive and polluting fuels like wood, charcoal and kerosene. LPG has significantly less environmental impact than other available fuels due to its source, combustion byproducts and yield. LPG is safer to transport and use and is precisely controllable by end-users – with known and consistent properties and minimal emissions of toxic byproducts. LPG does not emit soot (black carbon), smoke or dangerous fumes. The use of LPG stoves will be much more efficient than what is currently being used for cooking, thus requiring much fewer BTUs of fuel per meal. The result will be substantial reductions in both greenhouse gas and non-GHG pollution. PayGo’s approach will be to use a Cylinder Smart Meter (CSM) system that enables a “pay as you go” service. The CSM contains a low-pressure LPG regulator, metering capabilities and a communications system. The product affixes to existing cylinder valves and enables customers to make small payments for LPG via the customer’s mobile money account. To use PayGo’s CSM, a customer need only have mobile money.
