Arthur RogerGUEST
Uh, but I would say that developing Asia is the first, uh, LPG consuming, uh, region, uh, globally because out of the 3.4 billion people, uh, that cook with LPG around the world, 2.4 billion are living, uh, in developing Asia.

Arthur RogerGUEST
So LPG has basically been at the center of the clean cooking transition of many Asian countries, uh, including India and, uh, and Indonesia.

Arthur RogerGUEST
So something to understand is that in the span of 15 years, uh, thanks to large public programs, uh, subsidizing and distributing LPG stoves and cylinders, uh, India and Indonesia have shifted more than 800 million people, uh, away from, uh, the use of fuel wood, charcoal, and kerosene since 2010.

Arthur RogerGUEST
So today, it's 90% of the population in Indonesia that cooks with LPG and, and 80% of the population in India, uh, that cooks with, uh, with LPG.

Arthur RogerGUEST
But above and beyond cooking, uh, LPG is also widely used in developing Asia, uh, in the petrochemical industry, uh, particularly in China.

Dan HewittHOST
Okay, I think it's worth just reminding ourselves what some of the benefits of using LPG are as opposed to more traditional cooking methods.
