Koko Networks converts 50,000th household to ethanol cooking in Nairobi

In Kenya, CIO East Africa reports that Koko Networks has successfully transitioned its 50,000th household to using ethanol for clean cooking. Using adapted two-burner stoves, the cooking fuel is available through more than 600 agents at 700 outlets around Nairobi, partially supported through IoT. The company has seen a boost in interest in using clean burning ethanol compared to charcoal from the COVID-19 pandemic that has raised awareness about the “importance of healthy lungs and clean air,” the company’s CEO said.
