Recognised as a low-carbon alternative fuel, LPG emits 33% less CO2 than coal and 12% less than oil. It also emits almost no black carbon, arguably one of the most significant contributors to global warming.
What makes LPG green energy?
LPG is environmentally friendly not only because of the low level of carbon emissions but also because of the minimal risk of pollution. If LPG leaks, it evaporates immediately so it doesn’t cause damage to the soil, water supply or wildlife. Therefore, an LPG spill has no long-term consequences.
What can LPG be used for?
As well as being environmentally friendly, LPG is highly versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes including home heating, cooking, water heating, camping and car fuel. An increasing number of drivers are switching from petrol or diesel to LPG. Due to its wide availability and lower price than other fuels, the consumption of autogas continues to grow and helps reduce pollution from road transport.
The environmental benefits of using LPG
Numerous studies prove that propane-butane is many times more environmentally friendly than all other types of fuel. A 2degreesnetwork.com study of over 9,000 cars and vans ranked LPG vehicles as the cleanest, comparing them to those powered by petrol, diesel and CNG.
