For families in the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam, where Rodriguez-Sanchez started his business, KopaGas, the $150 cost of a gas stove and canister equals half the average monthly wage, making it hard to afford. “It’s 2019. People have smartphones they can do everything , but they are still cooking with charcoal,” said Rodriguez-Sanchez. That “outrageous” situation has to change to avoid environmental disaster, he said.For an upfront fee of 15,000 Tanzanian shillings , a household gets a liquefied petroleum gas cooking kit that includes a canister fitted with a smart meter.
KopaGas has signed up 3 500 households for its PAYG service and supplies another 20 000 with traditional gas bottles.
