What is a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)?

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10). It is gaseous at room temperature and pressure but can be liquefied under pressure. This property makes LPG highly efficient for storage and transportation, making it a versatile energy source used in various industries, including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. LPG is derived from refining petroleum and processing natural gas. It burns efficiently, making it a clean energy source for cooking, heating, water heating, and powering vehicles. LPG is also widely used in autogas vehicles due to its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits. Though considered relatively safe, proper handling is crucial, as leaks in confined spaces could pose a suffocation hazard.
