What is LP Gas?

Before learning about the advantages of LP Gas, it is important that you understand what LP Gas is.

Liquefied petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), also referred to as simply propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles.

LP Gas is similar to natural gas, a popular energy source, but it is made of a different chemical compound. Though LP Gas and natural gas are both considered to be hydrocarbons, LP Gas is made of propane or butane, which gives it advantages over natural gas and even oil heat. In normal conditions, LP Gas is a gaseous material, but it is often stored under pressure that turns it into a liquid. This makes it very easy to transport, one of the many advantages of LP Gas over other energy sources.️
