What is The Future Of Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) Sector in Tanzania

/in /by

Over the last ten years, there has been an increase in demand for liquefied petroleum gas(LPG) for households and commercial usage in Tanzania and Africa. The annual LP gas consumption in Tanzania has grown from 5,500 metric tonnes in 2005 to 145,800 metric tonnes in 2019.

Due to depleting natural reserves like woods and charcoals, continuous enforcement of regulatory norms, and increasing awareness towards eco-friendly products, LPG has evolved as the primary energy source in Tanzania and Africa.

Initially, the distribution of LPG was continued to urban areas only, but with rapid changes in the living condition of society, the requirement for LPG is increasing very steeply. Now rural population is also starting to consume LPG.

By 2028, other landlocked countries such as Rwanda, Eastern DRC, Zambia, Malawi, Burundi, and Uganda will have a good share of LPG sourcing from Tanzania. The demand is also likely to increase even further.
