Latham & Watkins has advised TotalEnergies on its partnership with DelAgua to distribute improved cookstoves to hundreds of thousands of Rwandans. The initiative supports Rwanda’s ambition to bring clean cooking to everyone by 2030 and reflects TotalEnergies’ ambition to supply energy that is more affordable, more available, more sustainable and accessible to as many people as possible.
The partnership will distribute 200,000 high-performance cookstoves within one year for the benefit of more than 800,000 Rwandans living in rural areas. Their use reduces harmful smoke emissions by 81% compared to traditional open fires and reduces wood consumption by 71%. The project should also prevent the emission of more than 2.5 million tons of CO2 equivalent over the next 10 years.
The Latham team was led by New York partner JP Brisson, with associate Tal Carmeli and Beijing associate Qingyi Pan.
