Whenever we talk about cooking gas the first name that pops in our mind is LPG ( Liquified Petroleum Gas). The demand is such that every household depends on cooking gas cylinder. It is such an essential commodity of our lives that we may not even think of an alternative. But have you ever thought of a scenario where you would run out of LPG? To know about it we first need to understand a few basic concepts.

Whenever we talk about cooking gas the first name that pops in our mind is LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). The demand is such that every household depends on cooking gas cylinder. It is such an essential commodity of our lives that we may not even think of an alternative. But have you ever thought of a scenario where you would run out of LPG? To know about it we first need to understand a few basic concepts.
When we talk about LPG there are few names that are often associated with it, such as: Natural Gas: Majorly composed of hydrocarbons, natural gas is a mixture of gases which are available in the atmosphere. It is processed so that it is converted into a cleaner fuel that would fit for consumption. Liquefied Natural Gas: When natural gas is cooled down and transformed into liquid state it is known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas. It is colorless, odourless and non-toxic. Liquefied Petroleum Gas: A mixture of hydrocarbon gases, LPG is highly inflammable and is widely used for cooking, heating and electrical purposes. Let’s talk about the composition of the LPG LPG is a mixture of hydrocarbons but the two main components that constitute the LPG are PROPANE and BUTANE along with other compounds of small ratios. PROPANE (C3H8) constitutes 20% and BUTANE (C4H10) constitutes 80% of the LPG. Propane also known as Autogas is a flammable hydrocarbon obtained from the natural gas. Due to its lower freezing temperature it is a popular choice when it comes to heating, cooking, forklifts, irrigation and many more. Butane is also a hydrocarbon that is liquefied under a pressurized environment for usage.
LPG and PROPANE are undoubtedly the same thing. The two major sources of Propane are through natural gas and through crude oil during the refining process. Because the two sources from which propane is obtained is mainly from a fossil fuel source hence propane is a non-renewable source of energy that would take time to form once replenished. Which may also signify that some day when we are overrun with fossil fuels we might also run out of LPG. but, the answer is NO. Now that we have BIO PROPANE which is a renewable source of energy and is efficient to meet all our propane demands we would never run out of LPG. BIO PROPANE is obtained from waste materials that mainly constitutes vegetables and plants which makes it renewable one. It not only fulfils our LPG demands but is also capable of reducing carbon emissions by 80%. Hence, the answer is a NO. We would never run out of LPG and our supply of cooking gas cylinders will always continue to exist.
