Propane has many advantages. First, it is easily transportable: under modest pressure, the vapour of propane gas turns into a liquid. This makes it easy to store and thus transport in specially manufactured tanks and bottles. When the pressure disappears, the liquid turns back into a gas.
Further advantages:
Usable in a variety of commercial and domestic applications, such as heating, hot water, cooking, lighting, power generation and industrial heating.
Can be packaged and stored in a variety of ways, from refillable gas cylinders to gas tanks.
Available in the most remote areas, improving the lives of millions of European citizens and providing fuel energy solutions for regional development in these remote areas.
An important alternative to chemicals in various agricultural applications, such as livestock cleaning or weed control.
One of the cleanest fuels in terms of CO2 emissions. In domestic and industrial use, propane produces on average 15% less CO2 per kilowatt-hour than petroleum, 50% less than coal and significantly less than the average European grid electricity. Its 'little brother' biopropane is even 100% renewable and chemically identical to propane.
