LPG: The Invisible Energy Lifeline of Emerging Economies
While the world focuses on oil and electricity, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) remains the primary cooking fuel for billions across emerging markets.
India leads the world, with 1.14 billion people relying on LPG, followed by China (700 million) and Latin America (348 million).
But there's a critical vulnerability:
67% of India's LPG consumption is linked to imports through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy chokepoint.
Around 30% of global seaborne LPG exports pass through this narrow route.
Any disruption in supply chains can have a direct impact on household energy security, inflation, and affordability for millions of families.
The future of energy isn't just about generating power it's also about ensuring access to clean and reliable cooking fuel.
Which region do you think faces the biggest energy security challenge in the coming decade?
