About
Liquid Gas UK is the trade association for the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and renewable liquid gases (RLGs) industry in the UK, representing companies who are LPG and RLG producers, distributors, equipment and service providers, and installers. It is dedicated to the safe and effective development of LPG and RLGs. Member companies cover 99% of the total LPG and 100% of the total RLGs distributed in the UK.
RLGs are the sustainable alternative to conventional LPG. Produced from a variety of renewable sources like waste materials and vegetable oils, RLGs – such as bioLPG and rDME – provide customers with significant carbon savings without the need to install new heating systems.
BioLPG can also be co-produced with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
