Statistical Analysis

What Is This?

The total volume of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (cooking gas) sold through licensed cylinders and bulk outlets across Nigeria each month, in metric tonnes.

How to Read

Rising LPG consumption indicates a shift away from firewood and kerosene toward cleaner cooking energy. Values are in metric tonnes — one standard 12.5 kg cylinder is 0.0125 metric tonnes.

Why It Matters

LPG adoption reduces deforestation, indoor air pollution, and cooking costs for households. The government's National LPG Expansion Programme targets 5 million additional households annually.

Current Signal

LPG sales are 41.3% above the 5-year average, reflecting growing clean cooking adoption.
