KOKO Networks expands into Rwanda

March 22, 2022 |

In Rwanda, the Government of Rwanda announced an agreement with KOKO Networks to develop the world’s first nation-wide renewable cooking fuel utility.

Rwanda is targeting universal access to clean cooking by 2030, in order to solve the deforestation, carbon emissions and indoor air pollution deaths caused by the use of charcoal and wood for cooking, which is still prevalent in Rwandan homes today.

KOKO has developed a proprietary climate-tech platform for the low-cost delivery of bioethanol cooking fuel, which has been proven at scale in Kenya. Households use a modern 2-burner bioethanol KOKO Cooker with a smart KOKO Canister that enables access to a dense Network of high-tech “KOKO Point” Fuel ATMs, which in turn are refilled by a fleet of Smart MicroTankers. KOKO’s cloud software manages the flow of payments, fuel, appliances and carbon.

KOKO has partnered with Dalberg to establish KOKO Rwanda, in order to develop a nation-wide Network that will enable convenient clean fuel access for all Rwandans.
