General comment Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a product flow characterized by being a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles. It typically contains processing levels involving refining and condensation, adherence to safety and quality standards, and is commonly used as a heating source or automotive fuel. The production involves the separation and collection of gases during natural gas purification or oil refining, with educt names including propane and butane. It can be part of both production and consumption mixes and is available in cylinders or bulk for various sectors like domestic, commercial, and industrial 'to consumer', or 'at plant'.
