for the liquefied gas user
LPG and bio LPG
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a petroleum product in gaseous form, the main components of which are: propane and butane. LPG is also referred to as liquefied gas, liquefied gas or liquefied gas. LPG is colorless and odorless, which is why a strong flavoring agent is added to it so that even a very small leak can be detected.
LPG is historically obtained from fossil sources — during the extraction of natural gas and oil from deposits (it accounts for about 5% of the extracted volume), as well as in the process of oil refining. LPG is therefore a naturally occurring by-product — at the dawn of the oil industry, burned or vented as waste, now used in automobile transportation, heating or in industry. The commercial production of LPG began in 1920, and the market for LPG on a large scale developed as a consequence of the 1973 oil crisis, when it became necessary to find an effective substitute for crude oil.
Bio LPG is a product identical in composition and chemical properties to LPG, but it is produced from organic waste — including sewage sludge, residues from agriculture or sawmill waste. It can also be produced by synthesizing renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The liquefied gas industry has committed to replacing 100% of liquefied gas from fossil sources with bio LPG by 2050.
