About Circle Gas

Circle Gas designs, manufactures and deploys Internet of Things (IoT) devices and software that enable customers to pay and consume small amounts of gas at a time using mobile wallets such as M-Pesa, whilst providing timely and detailed usage and payment information. Circle Gas is scaling-up the innovative pay-as-you-go technology developed by KopaGas, accelerating market penetration in East Africa. Circle Gas will continue to invest in Tanzania and is now launching in Kenya. Clean cooking solutions are badly needed throughout the developing world, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where most families use expensive and polluting cooking fuels such as charcoal, biomass and kerosene. Cooking with such fuels has serious impacts on the respiratory health of children and women who disproportionately bear the cooking responsibilities. The intense demand for charcoal in urban centres means that forest stocks are not sustainably managed, but rather sacrificed to produce charcoal. Today, LPG is a clean cooking solution used globally by over 3 billion people, yet it remains mostly unaffordable in Sub-Saharan Africa. Switching from harvested wood to LPG has profound climate mitigation impacts, as well, reducing net carbon emissions by 67%. Circle Gas will deliver clean and affordable cooking to all.
