LPG also known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a well known and widely used alternative fuel option and efficient energy source. It plays a pivotal role in both residential and commercial sectors. It mainly contains Butane and Propane and is stored under pressure as a liquid form and converts into gas as per the requirement when released from a pressurised container. Its low pollutant emission makes it an environment-friendly alternative to traditional fuel options like oil and coal. Liquified Petroleum Gas is widely used for cooking, heating and powering vehicles and offers convenience and cost-effectiveness. LPG Gas is known by several other names and have different uses also while ensuring safety for users and the environment alike.
LPG itself means liquified petroleum gas but most of the time we usually say LPG Gas which means we are saying Liquefied Petroleum Gas. We all have an extra bit of love for LPG so feel free to say it twice, thrice or even more.
It is the full form of LPG might seem mouthful but a much easier acronym of LPG. For better understanding it is ok to use the full form but when in a time crunch use the word LPG only.
Referring LPG to as propane is accurate because in Australia LPG is composed of propane. In the United States, they don't use the word propane commonly, they just call it propane.
Beyond India and overseas LPG is often composed of butane and propane that’s why people sometimes refer to it as butane not as LPG.
Instead of petrol or other fuels, automobiles can be converted to run-off LPG. When LPG was sold at the petrol pump, it was called autogas because it was used as a fuel for automobiles.
The type of portable gas bottle we used to see in the backyard and in petrol stations, those are filled with LPG gas, and a popular way to use it. As it is easy to transport, it is used in various outdoor activities like camping, tripping around the caravan, outdoor cooking activities, etc.
Sometimes LPG is stored in bottles or cylinders in a liquid form under modest pressure. Its flexibility to store and transport it in different ways makes it perfect for use in situations where fuel is needed but creating a natural gas pipeline to the site is impossible.
The acronym of LPG Gas gets jumbled in places like France and Italy and LPG is known there as GPL. And here confusion creates between natural gas and LPG. but we have to keep in mind that both of them are classified as hydrocarbons but their chemical makeups are different and they are two different forms of fuel.
LPG Gas produces significantly low emissions of harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, etc. As a result, it improves the air quality and reduces bad environmental impact mostly in urban areas. It only has a few greenhouse gases per unit of energy produced compared to other fuels. It also acts as a transitional fuel in renewable energy sources like solar power and ensures stability in the energy supply. In residential areas where LPG is used for cooking and heating, it releases fewer indoor air pollutants rather than biomass fuels like wood or dung. It tries to maintain the indoor air quality as well as health risks related to this. Another environmental benefit of LPG is that it burns clearly and efficiently with maximum energy output.
LPG Gas is a highly efficient energy source and the efficiency translates into reduced fuel consumption and ultimately decreases the overall cost. It also costs less than other fossil fuels like diesel, heating oil and gasoline and this stable pricing makes it a suitable option for residential and commercial uses. The infrastructure cost of LPG is less than other energy sources because it is flexible and easy to store. As it is a more environmentally sound source of energy it can save long term cost saving by mitigating potential carbon taxes.
LPG is a flexible source of energy as well as versatile use. Leading private gas companies in India like Shivgas maintain a strong distributorship of LPG cylinders for various purposes including residential, commercial as well as industrial. The lowkey infrastructural cost, flexibility and versatile use made it a better alternative to traditional fuel.
