LPG is clearly more environmentally beneficial
than the liquid fuels. The proclamation adopted
by the European Companies Union of LPG Marketing
in regards with this issue is below quoted.
The environment and its protection has been
gone off to a major matter with political,
social and financial complications. The governments
have recognised that legislative adjustments
are needed for environmental violation minimisation.
European Union has made steps on Directives
introduction for the protection of the environment.
The liquefied gases coming from petroleum, viz. Propane and Butane, represent extremely clean fuels and their
use must be increased in such a depth that
the request for air pollution decrease is
continuously increased. We are talking about
the most clean mineral fuels. Because they
are free of all solid relicts, the possibility
of apparatus and units designing (with LPG
as fuels) is given with high volumetric efficiencies.
The undesirable emissions are therefore further
decreased.
There are various major environmental problems,
such as the increase of heat, acid rain,
ozone layer`s destruction and atmospheric
air quality. The use of LPGs may significantly
contribute to all abovementioned problems
facing achieving a reduction of implications
from emissions because they produce during
their combustion much more lower amounts
of contaminants.
The LPGs have lower carbon content than the
liquid hydrocarbons and solid fuels and therefore
they produce less dioxide of carbon (CO2) per unit of produced thermal energy from
these fuels. That means that the use of LPGs
in such fuels substitution reduced the gases
emissions that cause the «greenhouse effect»
that causes the increase of our planet`s
total heating
