Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons produced during natural gas extraction and oil refining. It is generated automatically in the production of methane and through the refining process itself. LPG has lower greenhouse gas emissions than other fossil fuels on a full fuel cycle. Across the Middle East and Africa, LPG is used for cooking, heating, transport, and industry.
