Better for budgets - better for the environment. LPG is the cleaner fuel for a cleaner future. Due to a smaller molecular size LPG burns cleaner than petrol. This leads to a reduction in all the usual emissions. In particular, the main greenhouse gas Carbon Dioxide is significantly reduced. According to research in Europe, LPG vehicles emit 20% less carbon dioxide than their petrol counterparts . Carbon dioxide, nitric oxides and particulates (soot) are key contributors to problems like poor air quality and global warming. It would also take around 20 LPG cars to produce as much nitric oxides as is pumped out by just one diesel-powered car! The particulates that we see coming from diesel vehicles cause over 20,000 premature deaths a year. LPG produces 90% less particulates than a diesel engine. Noise from LPG powered engines is quieter than from diesel engines, keeping sound pollution to a minimum. LPG can be found naturally, as a by-product of the gas extraction process. Around 60% of the UK's LPG supply is found in this way. |
