LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons, produced from natural gas and oil extraction (66%) and from oil refining (34%). As an associated gas, it is automatically generated during the production of methane and during the refining process itself. If LPG wasn't captured at this point, it would have to be destroyed through flaring or venting, an unacceptable waste of an immediately available and exceptional energy source. LPG exists in two forms: Propane and Butane. The difference in their properties means that they are particularly suited to specific uses. Propane's lower boiling point suits outdoor storage and is primarily used for central heating, cooking and numerous commercial applications.
