Gas Energy Australia
LPG safely fuels industrial, commercial and residential energy consumers nationally, including 30% of regional Australian households. Contributing $5 billion to GDP and supporting 20,500 full-time equivalent jobs, LPG produces 14% lower emissions than diesel today.
Renewable forms of LPG will transform how we work, relax and play. As BioLPG and Renewable LPG emerge, consumers can reduce emissions without the cost of appliance replacement. Renewable forms of LPG are an ideal partner for renewable electricity in Australia's energy transition.

Future Made in Australia: Unlocking Australia's low carbon liquid fuel opportunity
GEA welcomes the inclusion of Low Carbon Liquid Fuels (LCLFs) as part of the Future Made in Australia Act, recognising that many energy consumers require alternative options to the electricity grid – due either to restricted access to infrastructure or specialised energy needs. We urge close consideration of production capability to produce bioLPG, rLPG and rDME and the positive role these renewable provide in residential, commercial, industrial (including agriculture) and recreational settings...
Safeguard Mechanism - Best Practice Emissions Intensities Update
GEA's submission supports the market-based approach for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), including Renewable Aviation Kerosene (RAK) and Renewable Diesel (RD). Additionally, we would urge recognition of all biofuels, including renewable propane and butane, that will be produced in the manufacturing of RAK and RD...
National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting System (NGERS)
GEA seeks acknowledgment in NGERS for all relevant and appropriate renewable SAF fuels from equivalent sources, including bioLPG. BioLPG and, ultimately, rLPG, are identical molecular compositions to conventional LPG and can currently be extracted from bio and/or renewable origin, including during RAK and RD production...
