Why Tanzania is betting on natural gas to accelerate clean cooking

Dar es Salaam. Tanzania is turning to its domestic natural gas resources to accelerate the transition to clean cooking, as the government seeks to reduce reliance on charcoal and firewood while strengthening energy security.

Minister for Energy Deogratius Ndejembi said Africa had an opportunity to use its natural gas resources to expand access to clean cooking, arguing that the continent should derive greater social and economic value from its energy resources.
