00:00With Cocoa Network shutting down its bioethanol fuel distribution system across Kenya, more than 3,000 Cocoa fuel points now stand idle,
00:10cutting off fuel access for over 1.5 million households that relied on the pay-as-you-go cooking system.
00:17The shutdown followed the company's failure to secure government authorization to sell carbon credits and obtain import permits for bioethanol.
00:27Without the approvals, Cocoa says its business model became financially unsustainable.
00:33Since 2014, Cocoa had provided cooking oil to low-income households, allowing users to purchase small quantities at low cost.
00:42Many households paid the equivalent of about 30 US cents per refill, compared to significantly higher costs for liquefied petroleum gas.
00:51Energy analysts say the closure exposes structural weaknesses in clean cooking models that rely heavily on carbon credit financing.
01:02They warn that when such systems fail, households are often forced to return to charcoal or paraffin, increasing health and environmental risks.
