What is LPG?

As a clean, lower carbon energy source, liquefied petroleum gas is automatically generated during the production of methane during the refining process. LPG exists in two forms – propane and butane – with both being more naturally suited to different uses.

Whether the motivation for change is a cleaner energy source, a more cost-effective solution, or simply to future-proof a property, there are many advantages of LPG. Advantages that make it both the ideal choice for rural, off-grid Britain, but also make it the fuel of the future.

liquefied petroleum gas

• LPG produces 90% less carbon monoxide and 50% less smog than mains natural gas
• As it readily evaporates,liquefied petroleum gas poses no environmental risks in the event of spillages
• LPG is not odourless, making it easier to detect leaks
• Unlike oil tanks that need replacing every 15-20 years, liquefied petroleum gas tanks can be left on site for up to 30 years
• LPG can be used across a variety of sectors – from home owners to hospitality, developers to those using it for

transport fuel – and can be used across multiple applications such as for cooking, hot water, and heating a property

rDME

Dimethyl ether (C2 H6O) – known as DME, is already used extensively across the globe, mainly in industrial settings. It is a colourless gas that is chemically similar to butane and propane and like liquefied petroleum gas, it is easy to handle and store in liquid form.

rDME is produced from renewable feedstocks, such as methane from agricultural and municipal waste, renewable power and CO2, meaning that carbon emissions are substantially reduced – up to 85%. Find out more here.
