There will be a broad discussion from the gathered experts on the many facets of LPGs role in the development context. With Clean cooking is now recognised as an urgent area for action, leading international organisations like the World Bank and WHO are committing to act to improve clean fuel access. Developing countries want LPG.

The industry must strive to make clean cooking a priority in both the energy sector and the health sector; relying on the business case to develop organically is not enough.
