European LPG Association

Automotive LPG - Autogas a competitive alternative fuel for improved air quality so says the European LPGA.

A RECENT STUDY DEMONSTRATES THAT REPLACING DIESEL OR PETROL WITH LPG CAN BE DONE AT A COMPETITIVE COST WITH A BENEFICIAL IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY WHILST FURTHER REDUCING THE GREENHOUSE-EFFECT

Forthcoming EURO 4 and EURO 5 emission limits, as well as the introduction of cleaner conventional fuels, will significantly improve the level of regulated pollutants from vehicles in the next few years, but their introduction will still take some time.

Thus, in specific locations such as urban centres where air quality issues can be an immediate concern, Autogas is a solution, that contributes to improving local emissions. Autogas offers similar benefits to other gaseous fuel options such as CNG and is already widely available on the market today through an extensive retail network.

LPG, furthermore, improves supply security and meets the EU 20/20 challenge, meaning 20% of the European motor fuel market will be alternative fuels in 2020. LPG originates either from crude oil refining or through extraction from natural gas processing (the latter representing 60% of current LPG supply).

Recent test results of the European Emission Test Program (EETP) have confirmed the air quality benefits of Autogas vehicles. The results give a clear indication of the positive environmental impact of Autogas as an available, alternative fuel with a promising future.
