7th West Africa LPG Expo – Côte d’Ivoire 2026
About the Expo
This key regional gathering focused on accelerating access to modern, clean, and affordable cooking energy across West Africa. While the region is rapidly advancing in LPG adoption, millions of households still rely on wood, charcoal, and other solid fuels—fueling indoor air pollution, respiratory illness, and widespread pressure on forest resources.
LPG provides a proven, scalable solution that can transform daily life by delivering cleaner air, reducing health risks, and creating jobs all along the value chain—from import terminals and storage facilities to cylinder management, distribution, and retail.
This Expo brings together government leaders, industry experts, international partners, investors, and clean-cooking advocates to exchange insights and accelerate the transition to modern household energy.
7th West Africa LPG Expo Official Theme for 2026
This year’s theme highlights a practical, region-first approach to expanding modern energy access. “Bridging the Energy Gap” focuses on the core challenges and opportunities shaping West Africa’s clean cooking transition:
Ensuring safety and cylinder integrity
Strengthening reliable LPG supply chains
Expanding last-mile distribution to underserved communities
Improving affordability with PAYG, microfinance, and targeted support
