LPG is a dependable energy solution for homes and businesses

In the ever-evolving landscape of energy solutions, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) stands out as a dependable option for both homes and businesses. Here’s why:

Versatility

One of LPG’s most significant advantages is its versatility. It has a multitude of uses, from heating homes and cooking, to powering industrial machinery. For households, LPG provides consistent and controllable heat for cooking, instant hot water and space heating. In businesses, particularly in sectors like hospitality, agriculture and manufacturing, LPG is essential for tasks such as water heating, refrigeration and even as a fuel for forklifts and other machinery.

Readily available and secure

LPG contributes to energy security and independence, as it is not reliant on pipeline infrastructure and can be stored in bulk in tanks. It is widely available and easily accessible in many parts of the world and is suitable for both urban and rural settings, especially where natural gas infrastructure may not be available. This also makes it an attractive option where energy supply may be intermittent or unreliable. By using LPG, homes and businesses can reduce their dependence on the pipeline network and ensure a continuous energy supply, especially during power outages or natural disasters.

Robust infrastructure to import

LPG is traded globally and there is significant infrastructure in place for its importation into New Zealand. This international trade network allows Rockgas to import LPG from other areas globally, which is reassuring, particularly when there are natural gas supply shortages.

More efficient than some other sources

LPG provides instant heat and power, with minimal energy loss when giving off heat. LPG also produces lower carbon emissions compared to coal, wood and even some forms of electricity, particularly those generated from coal-fired power plants.

Portable

Easy to transport, the portability of LPG cylinders makes it a practical option for remote locations and outdoor activities. For homes and businesses, especially those not on a pipeline network, LPG provides a reliable energy source without the need for extensive infrastructure.

For homes and businesses seeking a dependable, efficient, and versatile energy solution, LPG is a great option.
