LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a fuel made mainly from propane, butane, or a mixture of both. It is produced during natural gas processing and oil refining, then stored as a liquid under pressure so it can be transported and used efficiently. LPG is commonly used for cooking, heating, industrial processes, agriculture and, in some countries, as an automotive fuel known as autogas. Compared with coal, fuel oil or diesel, LPG usually produces lower particulate matter, sulphur oxides and carbon dioxide emissions during combustion. However, it is still a fossil fuel unless replaced by renewable LPG or bioLPG. In the energy transition, LPG is often considered a cleaner transitional fuel, especially in areas without reliable electricity, gas grids or fully electrified alternatives. It requires pressurised cylinders, tanks and regulated dispensing systems for safe storage and use.
