LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)

LPG, comprising propane and butane, is a versatile fuel with low carbon emissions and high combustion efficiency. Used for cooking, heating, and automotive applications, LPG offers portability and convenience. Propane provides higher vapor pressure, while butane is better suited for warmer climates due to its lower pressure characteristics.

LPG's consistent quality—minimal sulfur, no hydrogen sulfide, and high purity levels—ensures safe storage and combustion. It is widely favored in rural and off-grid areas, as well as industrial processes that require clean-burning energy sources. Environmental benefits and global availability make it a preferred alternative fuel.
