Exceptional
Origins
LPG is a derivative of two large energy industries: the extraction of natural gas liquids and the refining of crude oil. A substantial proportion of natural gas wells also produce propane and butane. These occur naturally and come up to the surface with the natural gas (methane). This origin accounts for about 60% of global LPG volumes. The remaining 40% of LPG is refined from oil.
Exceptional
Versatility
There are more than 1,000 applications of LPG. Hundreds of millions of people currently use LPG and depend on it for thousands of applications, in commercial business, industry, transportation, farming, power generation, cooking, heating and for recreational purposes.
Only LPG can serve such a wide variety of uses such as cooking fuel for a family in South Africa and a community kitchen in India, refrigeration for a shop owner in Brazil, Autogas for taxis in Tokyo, welding for car manufacturers in Germany, heat for the family home in Canada, flame weeding for a rancher in Texas, heat to provide lift for the first solo non-stop around the world balloon expedition and even powering the Olympic torch.
