Agenda for today
• Why BioLPG?• What is BioLPG?• Producers• Consumers• Outlook for BioLPG production• How can you buy/sell BioLPG?

Climate change is real

Electricity has decarbonised a lot

And it will keep on decarbonising

In the past 4 years....a flying start
• BioLPG production up 50%• Sales of branded BioLPG started• LPG now has a renewables story

Biggest trend: co-processing
• Conventional refinery• Modified hydrotreater
or even FCC• Infrastructure exists• Conversion packages
available Fossilpetroleum
biopropane
biodiesel

WLPGA/PERC scoping study
• Find a cellulosic/waste-to-BioLPG R&D project…• …or, at least, identify possible partners• Working group to help in contact/networking• Start: end February• Finish: around June• Method: ‘dial and smile’, desk research, build on existing work
If you know of a possible projectplease tell us!

And what now?• Explore co-processing with refiners
• Protect virgin bio-oils for biofuels
• Analyse/monitor government ‘bio’ plans
• Promote BioLPG-rich options
