LPG Benefits

LPG is a highly effective, cleaner and reliable alternative to oil and electricity where mains gas is not available. Key features and benefits include:

• Lowest carbon emissions of any fossil fuel in non mains gas areas making it the perfect partner for low carbon and renewable technology
• A versatile fuel that can be used for heating, cooking, hot water, generating electricity, supplementing renewables, powering vehicles and providing for outdoor living.
• LPG, unlike Oil, will not pose any ground or water pollution hazards since leaks evaporate instantly
• LPG burns cleanly, with almost no soot and very low sulphur emissions
• Closest option to mains gas
• LPG tanks can be buried underground
• In catering environments, LPG offers a visible blue flame that is easily controlled and will not taint food

And what exactly is LPG?

LPG is available in two options – Propane and Butane. Propane is available in bulk storage pressure vessels which can be located above ground or underground or alternatively supplied in gas cylinders. Butane is only available in cylinders.

• Propane

Propane is generally used for domestic and commercial heating, cooking and numerous commercial and industrial applications. It is stored at a higher pressure than butane and has a lower boiling point, making it suitable for outside storage. Propane generally is supplied in bulk tanks or red cylinders, but can also be found in the green ‘Alfresco’ cylinders too.

• Butane

Butane has a boiling point of around 0 degrees centigrade and will not work in temperatures lower than this. Butane is commonly found in blue cylinders and is widely used for mobile heaters and exterior leisure applications in the warmer months.
