LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
LPG, comprising predominantly propane and butanes in various ratios, is a versatile energy source derived from both crude oil and natural gas production processes. It serves as a crucial by-product in the petrochemical industry and finds extensive use globally for various purposes, from domestic heating to automotive fuel.
Production and Transportation
LPG is sourced as a by-product of crude oil production (Associated Gas) and natural gas production (Non-Associated Gas), as well as from refinery processes. It is transported primarily in pressurized vessels, with Associated and Non-Associated LPG or NGL’s often shipped via pipelines, especially in regions like the US. Refrigerated VLGC’s facilitate long-distance transportation, such as from the US Gulf Coast to Japan.
Global Applications
Apart from being integral to petrochemical processes, LPG serves as a convenient fuel for diverse domestic applications worldwide. In the northern hemisphere, it is commonly used for home heating, while in Africa, it is a popular choice for cooking. Additionally, in select markets, LPG is utilized as a fuel for automobiles, known as Autogas.
Discover the multifaceted role of LPG as an essential energy source with global implications, powering homes, industries, and transportation systems across the world.
