Renewable Liquid Gases

Renewable Liquid Gases (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) and biodiesel production​.

​The co-production of bioLPG and SAF has the potential to meet a significant portion (as much as 55%) of demand from the renewable liquid gases market which help ensure that hard-to-decarbonise sectors, such as off-grid homes and businesses, are given a viable pathway to Net Zero.
