Liquefied petroleum gas (also known as LPG or LP gas) is a flammable substance made of a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, which tend to be mostly propane and butane and, in a smaller proportion, other substances such as ethylene or ethane.

LPG was first produced by Walter O. Snelling and has been used for more than a century now. As the number of applications liquefied petroleum gas can be used in has grown, so has the demand for this substance.

At the moment, it’s regarded as a cleaner, greener alternative to other fossil fuel energy sources, a view that will make its global market size grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2020 to 2027, according to Grand View Research.

This substance is obtained from fossil fuel sources, either through the process of refining petroleum or by extracting it from natural gas sources.
