Green Living with LPG

 

Green Living with LPG.


The world is moving towards a greener future with businesses and every day civilians becoming more self-aware of their carbon footprint.

These days people are opting for more environmentally friendly alternatives in their daily practices. Single-use plastics are being phased out for reusable alternatives, plant-based foods are becoming more popular by the day and alternative energy sources are being seen more frequently.

LPG is Liquified Petroleum Gas, also referred to as LP Gas or propane. It is a mixture of natural gas and propane. It is a portable, clean and efficient energy source that has many applications and is readily available world-wide. 

It's carbon footprint is 50% less lower than coal and produces virtually no particulate matter or soot when burned making it a clean-burning energy source. LPG is the perfect back-up fuel to use in conjunction with other eco-friendly alternatives such as solar power.

LPG can make daily life more convenient in the following ways:
- Gas Heaters used to heat your home and office.
- Gas Geysers used to heat water instantly.
- Gas Braais provide a stable heat when braaiing with very little cleaning afterwards.
- Gas stoves & hobs used for indoor cooking.
- Gas fireplaces used for indoor and outdoor heating.

LPG is even used to fuel vehicles. A simple, inexpensive conversion can be done so that your car can run on Autogas, making your vehicle duel-fuel. Your car will be able to alternate between using Autogas and petrol or diesel.

Once again, Autogas is a more eco-friendly vehicle fuel as it produces 96% less carbon emissions than diesel and 68% less than petrol.

With increasing electricity prices in South Africa and more load-shedding being implemented every year, #LPG is a great alternative fuel to use at home.
