LPG and Natural Gas Differentiation

 What is LPG?

Liquefied petroleum gas is a fuel gas which contains a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases, most commonly propane, butane, and propylene.



Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Natural Gas are used widely in several appliances for domestic and industrial purposes. In the UAE, we rely on both the types of gases to meet our energy needs. But the fact is that LPG in Dubai is the prominent gas used by millions of people as cooking gas, fuel gas Auto gas, refrigerant gas and so forth. Although LPG and Natural gas are more or less used in the same way they also differ in many ways. Let’s dive deep into LPG and natural gas.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a mixture of hydro, a by-product of the natural carbon consisting mainly of Propane and Butane stored in a liquid state.  LPG gas processing and oil/petroleum refining, made entirely from fossil fuel sources. LPG gas is the most commonly used fuel for cooking.

 

What is Natural Gas?


Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes. Usually low levels of trace gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulphide.


Like LPG, natural gas is derived from fossil sources. Natural gas is used for cooking, heating, generating electricity and running applications like heating and fuelling vehicles. It is also used as a refrigerant gas and aerosol propellant gas for perfumes. The fact that LPG is safe, cost-efficient and portable makes it the most preferred gas for offering Industrial Gas solutions. Natural Gas Liquid is a component of natural gas, catered for Liquid Gas Services. Natural gas is a highly valued gas due to its high combustibility backed by the ease of utilisation.
