Renewable gases huge boost for regional farmers - LPG is already the lifeblood of farms, homes, commercial and industrial businesses across the bush and with its transition to net zero bioLPG over the next few years and, ultimately, actual zero synthetic renewable LPG, all can go on using the gas they know, trust and can rely on affordably while meeting government targets and avoiding the exorbitant costs of switching to electricity...

Electricity is not cheaper and cleaner than gas. Here's why - LPG is specifically not included in the ACT's impending ban on new natural gas connections. And for good reason. Zero emitting LPG has a clear, commercially viable and relatively easy path to decarbonise. It saves families and businesses from the costs of switching to electricity, is more reliable and will be at least just as good for the environment - our Opinion piece in the Canberra Times...
Should we switch off gas? - In running GEA's Opinion Editorial head-to-head with the Grattan Institute, the Herald Sun exposes the failure to recognise LPGs transition to zero emitting gas - beginning in the next few years and replacing all conventional LPG by 2045. Grattan assumes business as usual, despite conceding LPG has a clear path to decarbonise. They fail to account for zero emitting gas, for households to save on massive switching to electricity costs and that ongoing use of (zero) LPG is more reliable while taking pressure off an increasingly overburdened electricity grid...

Renewable gas is the answer to power Australia's energy future - With 2 million Aussie families using LPG for in-home cooking, hot water and/or heating and LPG moving to renewable zero-mitting alternatives that save homeowners on costs and emissions compared to electricity, it's a case of buyer beware! It makes economic and environmental sense to stick with gas - our Opinion Editorial in the Daily Telegraph and NT News newspapers...

Renewable LPG is part of a clean, innovative pathway to a future that won't cost the Earth - GEA's Opinion Editorial in the Hobart Mercury newspaper demonstrates renewable LPG is a 'drop in' green replacement - that means no extra costs to taxpayers, homeowners, businesses or community groups using LPG. Existing cylinders, pipes and appliances require no changes. We praise the Tasmanian Government's approach as "the blueprint for other jurisdictions to follow"...
