There are more than 1000 applications of LPG
LPG is the most widely used alternative automotive fuel in Europe
LPG has been used to fuel the Olympic flame due to its safety, environmental and practical characteristics
LPG was found to have higher efficiency than natural gas-fuelled distributed power generation which makes it ideal for rural homes and businesses
LPG is a naturally occurring by-product of natural gas extraction (60%) and crude oil refining (40%) – therefore we either use it or it is wasted
LPG produces less air pollutants than diesel, oil, wood or coal
LPG emits about 20% less CO2 than heating oil and 50% less than coal.
LPG’s volume is 274 times smaller when in a liquid state
LPG was among the two most efficient energy options across a wide variety of technology configurations
LPG was consistently among the most efficient water heating options across the regions examined
Over half of the world’s population still relies on wood, crop waste, or even dried dung to provide the energy for cooking
LPG is distributed through a network of 17,500 filling stations to fuel more than 4 million vehicles in Europe
Autogas is today the most accepted alternative fuel in the automotive sector with more than 13 million vehicles operating worldwide
An LPG furnace can heat air up to 25 degrees warmer than one powered by other fossil fuels
In India, LPG emits 60% fewer GHGs than electric coil cook tops, 50% fewer emissions than some biomass stoves and 19% fewer GHGs than kerosene stoves
LPG helps to reduce emissions of a typical house by 1.5 tonnes (around 25%) of CO2 per year
Autogas yields 50% less carbon monoxide (CM), 40% less hydrocarbons (HC), 35% less nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 50% less ozone forming potential compared to gasoline
LPG can be up to five times more efficient than traditional fuels, resulting in less energy wastage and better use of our planet’s resources
LPG is extremely versatile and portable. It can be transported using sea, rail or road transport. LPG is available in a wide variety of packaging and storage options and is available in even the remotest of areas
LPG also helps to reduce Black Carbon (BC) emissions, which are the second biggest contributor of global warming and which can cause serious health problems
