Liquefied petroleum gases include Ethane (C₂H₆), butane (C₄H₁₀), Isobutane (i-C₄H₁₀), Propylene (Propene), Ethylene, Butylene (Butene), and various mixtures of hydrocarbons.
These gases are called Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP-gas or LPG). LPG is used for:
- Fuel for space heaters, water heaters, boilers, cooking, grilling, air conditioners (AC), and cooling in both rural and urban areas beyond gas pipeline coverage.
- Backup fuel supply for large-scale industrial utilities (especially those using furnaces or ovens requiring constant temperature control) to safeguard against interruptions in natural or synthetic gas supply.
- Space heating during building construction (pile-driving).
- Fuel for entire industrial heating processes, especially where precise temperature control is required.
- Fuel for processes such as poultry farming, cotton and grain drying, tobacco curing, food drying, burning grass, and greenhouse heating.
- Vehicle fuel for trucks, buses, taxis, transport vehicles, and agricultural machinery like tractors and harvesters.
