Advantages of LPG Over Oil

Advantages of LPG over oil for your Business

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) presents several advantages over oil for businesses. Firstly, it is a lower carbon fuel emitting at least 10% less emissions than heating oil. If you switch to our Futuria Gas, BioLPG, carbon emission savings of up to 90% are achievable*. BioLPG is identical in appearance and performance to conventional LPG but produced from renewable feedstocks such as plant and vegetable waste material. Additionally, LPG offers efficiencies with a cleaner burn, leading to lower maintenance costs and prolonged equipment life. Its versatility makes it suitable for various applications, including manufacturing, agriculture, farming, hospitality and manufacturing processes. LPG's storage and supply are also more secure, reducing the risk of theft compared to oil. These factors make LPG a cost-effective and sustainable energy choice for businesses.

  • Lower Maintenance: Requires less upkeep than oil-based systems, saving on maintenance costs. 
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for a range of applications across industrial processes.
