LPG as alternative source of energy: an opportunity for our planet
The climate-related consequences of greenhouse gases are widely known. Hence our task will be to choose those energy sources, which contribute the least to global warming- LPG is one of them!
Benefits for our environment:
- LPG is clean, eco-friendly and one of the least-polluting energy sources
- High degree of cleanliness and no production of soot or other residues
- Very low emissions compared to other fossil fuels
- No suspended solids
- Non-toxic
- LPG does not endanger ground water or soil, hence can be used in water protection areas, where heating oil is forbidden
- LPG is one of the most modern energy sources
The EU Commission declared LPG an alternative source of energy in fall 2002.
To learn from past mistakes and to conserve a sustainable environment we must act now- LPG helps to reach this goal!
