What is LPG from Gas4Wales

CHEAP, CLEAN, LOWER CARBON ENERGY SOURCE

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a portable, clean and efficient energy source which is readily available to consumers around the world. LPG is a co-product of natural gas and crude oil production; its unique properties make it a versatile energy source which can be used in more than 1,000 different applications

LPG has unique properties allow it to be used everywhere:

PORTABLE
LPG can be transported, stored, and used virtually anywhere in the world. It does not require a fixed network and will not deteriorate over time.

CLEAN
LPG is very clean burning and has lower greenhouse gas emissions than any other fossil fuel when measured on a total fuel cycle. Originating mainly from natural gas production, it is also non-toxic and will not contaminate soil or aquifers in the event of a leak.

ACCESSIBLE
LPG can be accessible to everyone everywhere today without major infrastructure investment. Nothing needs to be invented and there are enough reserves to last many decades.

EFFICIENT
LPG is cost-effective, since a high proportion of its energy content is converted into heat. 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.

CONVENIENT
LPG is a multi-purpose energy. There are more than a thousand applications, from cooking, heating, air conditioning and transportation, to cigarette lighters and even the Olympic torch.
