Liquefied petroleum gas, otherwise known as LPG, has a key role to play when it comes to off-grid energy in the UK

Minimising carbon footprints and maximising energy efficiency have never been more important, and LPG gas has a key role to play when it comes to off-grid energy in the UK.

Liquefied petroleum gas, otherwise known as LPG, is an umbrella term used to refer to two kinds of gas, butane and propane.

Produced naturally as a by-product from oil refining and oil and gas extraction, LPG propane and butane have some similar properties, but each has its own specific uses.

The boiling point of propane is lower than that of butane, and that makes it suitable to be stored outdoors.

Most often, propane LPG is used for cooking, heating, various commercial operations, and powering forklift trucks.

Butane, on the other hand, is best for indoor use, and that makes it a preferred choice for mobile portable heaters as well as for indoor cooking.

LPG is especially versatile as a fuel and is suitable for use virtually everywhere.

It is used across many commercial industries, including warehouses and the manufacturing and industrial sectors, as well as for operating vehicle fleets of forklift trucks.

LPG suppliers provide LPG in both bulk tanks and gas bottle cylinders of various sizes and for various usage requirements.

There are great benefits provided by LPG fuel.

Firstly, by switching to gas it’s possible to save money.

Secondly, because LPG gas has a carbon intensity of around 20% lower than oil and contains no sulphur, it is an excellent choice for reducing your carbon footprint.

For businesses, switching to LPG can help them to meet the Clean Growth Strategy’s targets for emission reduction.
