About Circle Gas
Circle Gas is a UK-based energy access company focused on providing clean cooking solutions to low-income households in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Tanzania and Kenya.
The company replaces traditional fuels like charcoal, kerosene, and wood with affordable Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) through a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) system. This innovative approach utilizes IoT-enabled smart meters, allowing customers to purchase small amounts of gas via mobile wallets, making it easier to access clean energy without high upfront costs. Founded in 2018, Circle Gas aims to make clean cooking more accessible and affordable for families in developing regions. The company has developed a vertically integrated model that combines technology, logistics, and gas distribution. Their proprietary NB-IoT smart meter enables remote payment and gas dispensing, while efficient home delivery ensures convenience for customers. With a commitment to reducing carbon emissions, Circle Gas is actively expanding its services in Tanzania and launching in Kenya in partnership with Safaricom.
