What is BioLPG?<\/span><\/span><\/h1><\/span><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”600″ css_animation=”right-to-left”]\n

With the same chemical composition of LPG, bioLPG<\/strong> brings even higher environmental benefits. Produced from renewable sources, including biological oil and fats, and the fermentation of glucose by microorganisms, bioLPG<\/strong> has an even lower carbon footprint than conventional LPG<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BioLPG<\/strong> is a gaseous fuel that can come from production processes using renewable and organic feedstocks. It is chemically identical to conventional LPG \u2013 propane, butane or a mix of thereof. It is already available on the European market in growing quantities.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”0″ element_id=”927925″ element_css=”.vc-row-927925 .vc-curtain {background-color:#3bb3c2;}” curtain=”curtain-left” css=”.vc_custom_1590854308362{padding-top: 48px !important;padding-bottom: 48px !important;}” curtain_color=”#3bb3c2″][vc_column animation_delay=”0″ css_animation=”fadeIn” element_id=”920034″ crp=”374:i:i,375-767:4:4,768-1023:0:0,1024-1279:i:i,1280-1599:i:i,1600-1919:i:i”]<\/span>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

How is bioLPG different from regular LPG?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h5><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″ css_animation=”none”]BioLPG<\/strong> and conventional LPG<\/strong> are chemically identical but produced from different feedstocks. This makes bioLPG a drop-in fuel that can be blended at any rate and still be used in existing infrastructure and appliances. It means that distributors and consumers do not need to change or upgrade their equipment or appliances to switch to a renewable energy solution.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div><\/div>
What are the benefits of bioLPG for the environment?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h5><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″ css_animation=”none”]The carbon footprint of bioLPG<\/strong> is up to 80% lower than that of conventional LPG, dependent on the feedstock used. As bioLPG is chemically identical to conventional LPG<\/strong>, it carries the same low NOx, SOx and PM as conventional LPG.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div><\/div>
How is bioLPG made?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h5><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″ css_animation=”none”]BioLPG<\/strong> can be produced in several processes2 where it is a naturally occurring by-product. Currently the only process to produce biopropane that is operating at the commercial scale is bio-refining \u2013 the hydrogenation or hydrotreating of vegetable oils (HVO), fats and biomass-derived oils. Renewable LPG<\/strong> can be also produced in the power-to-x technologies (using renewable energy), anaerobic digestion, and the gasification of lignocellulosic biomass.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div><\/div>
What feedstocks are used to produce bioLPG?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h5><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″ css_animation=”none”]In the current production processes a combination of around 60% waste and residue materials and 40% renewable vegetable oils is used4. In practice, this translates to the following feedstocks, which are currently transformed to produce bioLPG, fatty acid distillate and stearin, technical corn oil, tall-oil pitch, rapeseed oil, crude palm oil, waste materials from the food processing industry, waste fat from the fish processing industry, soy oil, jatropha oil and camelina oil.<\/p>\n

All organic feedstocks used to produce bioLPG meet strict sustainability standards. They are fully traceable, sustainable and well managed. With time, first-generation crop-based feedstocks will gradually be phased out and replaced by waste and residue materials.[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row css_animation=”none” element_id=”37511″ element_css=”.vc-row-37511 .fixed-container {background-image:url(https:\/\/sekoe.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/biogas-industry.jpg);}” fixed_bg=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1606654311490{padding-top: 120px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;background-color: #3bb3c2 !important;}” fixed_bg_image=”2737″ el_id=”service-2″][vc_column animation_delay=”0″ css_animation=”fadeIn” element_id=”639221″ crp=”374:i:i,375-767:i:i,768-1023:i:i,1024-1279:i:i,1280-1599:i:i,1600-1919:i:i”]<\/span>
