Despite its cost, the preference for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) continues to grow due to several advantages:
- Environmental Impact: LPG burns cleaner than traditional fuels like firewood or charcoal, significantly reducing air pollution and contributing to environmental conservation.
- Health Benefits: Using cooking gas minimizes exposure to harmful pollutants found in smoke from solid fuels, reducing health risks associated with respiratory issues.
- Efficiency and Safety: Gas cooks food faster and offers precise temperature control, vital for diverse culinary needs. It also reduces fire hazards associated with open flames and unstable cooking methods.
- Socioeconomic Indicator: The adoption of cooking gas is often seen as a lifestyle upgrade, reflecting a shift towards modern, more efficient cooking methods. However, high refilling costs and the initial investment in cylinders make it less accessible for lower-income households.
- Conservation Efforts: Using cooking gas helps reduce deforestation by eliminating the need for firewood.
