- LPG’s volume is 270 times smaller when in a liquid state
Did you know?
- An LPG furnace can heat air up to 25 degrees warmer than one powered by other fossil fuels
- LPG tankless water heaters can reduce standby energy loss by up to 20%, reducing the cost of operation by about 60%
- LPG appliances have a shorter energy savings payback period, that is the period of time it takes for an appliance to pay for itself through energy savings
Did you know?
- Based on the most authoritative, consistent date available, LPG worldwide and in Europe is a lower carbon fuel compared to its main competitors
- In terms of combustion emissions, LPG generates 17% less CO2 than heating oil and 56% less than anthracite coal
- LPG emits 6.8 tonnes CO2/year when heating an 140M2 house in France consuming 25K kWH/year, compared to the equivalent figure for coal being 9.6 tonnes CO2/year and for fuel oil 7.5 tonnes CO2/year
- LPG facilitates the development of renewable energy since it serves as a cleaner back-up for intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, small hydro and geo-thermal
Did you know?
- Based on the most authoritative and consistent data available LPG in Europe generates a low local-air quality footprint. Compared to the other main fuels in its five primary applications, LPG’s LAQ footprint is consistently at the lower-end of the range.
- LPG generates 95% less particulate matter and 60% less NOX than wood
- It also generates 96% less NOX than diesel and 68% less NOX than petrol
