Conversations around energy are everywhere right now. You almost can’t scroll online or read the news without seeing the hot-button topic. And for a good reason, it’s an issue affecting everyone. All of these questions lead many to believe it’s time for new options.
Supply-chain instability and rising costs have made energy a top priority—for businesses and our personal lives. With everyone feeling the squeeze, it’s an ideal time to find positive alternatives.
Where are the creative solutions coming from? Innovations in technology. LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a cleaner and greener energy source that delivers plenty of benefits. As part of its chemical composition, LPG has a lower carbon-to-hydrogen ratio. This means that compared to natural gas, less carbon dioxide is created when it’s burnt.
While it may not be a household name, it’s the direction our future’s headed towards. The Australian government has stated that LPG will be a key part of our country’s energy mix for years to come.
From decreasing costs to supporting sustainability, let’s take a look at the benefits of using LPG and set-up your business for the future.
Secure LPG Supply
All the recent upheavals internationally have shown that it’s critical for Australia to be as energy-independent as possible. We’re not called the “lucky country” for nothing. LPG is actually naturally abundant in Australia and sourced from in-ground gas reserves. Future-proof your business’s energy supply with LPG.
Australia’s largest LPG storage facility is located in Sydney and operated by Elgas. In just that one facility, there’s enough LPG to supply Australia for over 60 days. Elgas has 45 other branches across the country to ensure a stable energy supply for businesses and households.
Fewer Pollutants
Diesel is a common power source for big industries and engines. But what if there’s an energy source that could provide all the benefits of diesel with lower pollutants? LPG is a cleaner alternative. It produces 45% less CO2 and 99% less NOx than diesel. Unlike diesel, LPG doesn’t deteriorate in tanks making it easier to transport and more long-lasting. Rewards all around!
Development of Renewable Gas
What happens when you add sugar to some bacteria? A new type of renewable energy. It’s a giant leap forward in the world of science that allows suppliers to shift away from traditional fossil fuels to newer, more sustainable sources. Mother nature wins, and so does Australian business.
Renewable gases are making the hope of a zero-carbon economy a possibility. Elgas is leading the development of renewable LPG (rLPG) that can be distributed through the existing supply chain without any upgrade costs. As part of its Sustainability Goals, Elgas is committed to producing 100% rLPG for its customers by 2040.
Carbon Offsetting
With the introduction of government regulations centred around carbon emissions, businesses are looking to secure a cleaner energy supply for the future.
Ready to make the step towards a more carbon-neutral tomorrow? Elgas makes it easy with its carbon offsetting plan. The company supports businesses in purchasing carbon credits that can be invested in carbon capture and reduction projects.
Locally owned and operated, Elgas is a leading supplier of LPG in Australia. They deliver a safe and reliable LPG supply to both households and businesses. With their parent company Linde turning over $27 billion a year, these are major players in the energy industry.
