LPG Carbon Footprint & Emissions 

If you are looking for a lower carbon way to power your home or business, make the switch to LPG. 

LPG is a safe and reliable fuel, providing you with a healthy environment with reduced risk. Without the danger of leaks, spills, or residue that come with fuels like oil or coal, you can make the most of your space without worrying about potential hiccups or accidents. 

It is also the lowest carbon traditional fuel for off-grid properties. So, if you are looking to lower your carbon emissions from higher carbon fuels like oil or coal, LPG is no doubt a valid solution for your needs.    

Want to learn more about the benefits of domestic LPG? Don’t hesitate to get in touch! At Flogas, we’re always on hand to answer your questions and show you how LPG can keep your house running all year round. 




One of the main qualities of LPG is that it has cleaner burning properties than traditional solutions such as oil, solid fuels, and electricity.  

It also provides you with instant heat without using much gas. This means that you won’t have to wait around for a warm house. 

In terms of emissions, LPG produces fewer pollutants than other conventional fuels and virtually no particulate matter, making it a great choice for your home with a reduced environmental impact versus oil, coal or other solid fuels

Oil vs LPG emissions

Switching from oil to LPG comes with a wide range of advantages.  

For example, oil prices are volatile, meaning you never know exactly how much you’ll be charged at the end of the month. With LPG, instead, Flogas gives you an up-front tariff before you place the order, so that you are not left wondering how much cash to set aside. 

But in regard to emissions, LPG has a carbon intensity that is up to 20% lower than oil, making it a great option to reduce your overall carbon footprint.

Solid fuels vs LPG emissions

LPG has a lower environmental impact than solid fuels, too. In fact, it emits 35% less carbon than coal, providing you with a healthier living space for your loved ones. 

Compared to solid fuels, LPG is a mess and hassle-free option as well. For example, you can keep your fuel out of sight with an underground LPG tank or store it discreetly in an easy-to-transport gas bottle, rather than stacks of coal or logs.   

With solid fuels, instead, you will always be busy chopping stacks of logs and carrying around heavy loads to heat your home. So why not keep your life simple with safe and reliable LPG?
