LPG is a fossil fuel consisting of a mixture of propane and butane and is stored in a liquid phase. Liquefaction reduces the volume of gas by 250 times compared to standard low-pressure conditions, resulting in savings in transport and storage costs and greater efficiency in the energy production process.
LPG, thanks to its characteristics, is able to satisfy the energy needs of users in all those areas that are not reached by the natural gas network.
PetroGaz, thanks to a widespread and exceptional network and its efficient services with 12 depots allover Greece, can bring an economical, safe and ready to use fuel everywhere, from your home to your company.
LPG is a versatile energy source that can offer environmental advantages in certain applications compared to other fossil fuels. In particular, when burned, LPG can produce lower CO₂ emissions per unit of energy compared to coal and oil, while it may also reduce emissions of certain air pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, depending on the application and combustion technology.

Calorific value
Another important feature is the high calorific value of LPG, as can be seen from the comparison table.
PetroGaz provides LPG in cylinders and small tanks of different capacities to satisfy different needs: a versatile and safe fuel that will allow you to cook, have hot water, heat or cool your place and accompany you in your free time.
PetroGaz offers to all customers a highly specialized support to identify suitable solutions, analysing consumption and energy needs. Thanks to its characteristics, LPG is used in Ho.Re.Ca. (Hotel – Restaurants – Cafes) and in many industrial sectors, from construction to food, from manufacturing to metallurgy.
More consumers are considering LPG as an alternative fuel for automotive use. Depending on the vehicle, operating conditions and fuel consumption, LPG may offer certain emissions-related advantages compared with other fuels.
- Emissions: LPG vehicles may produce lower emissions of certain air pollutants, such as particulate matter, compared with vehicles using some other conventional fuels. The extent of any reduction depends on the vehicle, engine technology and operating conditions.
- Alternative fuel: LPG is an available alternative fuel for compatible vehicles. Its use may help reduce certain tailpipe pollutant emissions compared with other fuels, subject to the vehicle and operating conditions.
