LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

A Cleaner, Efficient Energy Option

A portable, clean-burning fuel — propane, butane, or a blend of the two — kept liquid under modest pressure so a large amount of energy travels in a small, transportable volume.

A large amount of energy in a small, portable volume — propane, butane or a blend, kept liquid under modest pressure.

Commercial propane, butane, or a seasonal blend — tuned to a target vapour pressure, more propane in winter.

Why it matters

Recovered from gas processing and refining, it turns to liquid under light pressure and back to gas when released — easy to store in cylinders and move where pipelines don't reach. Virtually sulphur-free and sootless.

Core checks

Traded against standards like EN 589 (autogas). Buyers check the C₃/C₄ ratio, vapour pressure, sulphur and moisture.

Key applications

  • Residential & commercial

    cooking, space and water heating, and reliable

Off-grid energy

Cooking, heating and reliable power for homes, restaurants and remote sites.

Autogas

A lower-emission transport fuel for converted petrol engines in taxi and delivery fleets.

Commercial propane (C₃), butane (C₄), or a blend — propane for cold climates and heavier duty, butane for indoor and warmer use, mixes tuned seasonally.

Shipped as a pressurised or refrigerated liquid — cylinders, bulk tankers and VLGCs by sea; heavier than air, so containment and venting are core to safety.
