About rLG

Renewable forms of LPG, or Renewable Liquid Gases (rLG) are
being pursued both domestically and on the international stage. BioLPG, rLPG and eLPG are drop-in replacements for conventional LPG, while rDME can be blended with LPG today, with full substitution possible following appliance and infrastructure upgrades:

BioLPG

A co-product of Sustainable Aviation Fuel or Renewable Diesel, representing between 5% and 10% of the content of the 'biocrude' processed through the HVO and HEFA processes.

Renewable LPG (rLPG)

Produced from renewable feedstocks through thermochemical processes including the Fischer Tropsch process which is widely used in chemical processing today.

Electro-LPG (eLPG)

Produced from converting renewable electricity into renewable hydrogen and chemically combining this with sustainably sourced CO2.

Renewable Dimethyl Ether (rDME)

Produced via thermochemical conversion of renewable feedstocks, blendable with existing LPG infrastructure today, or used at 100% with appliance and infrastructure upgrades.

Each of these rLG options offer a pathway to reduce Scope 1 emissions to near-zero at equivalent lifecycle emissions to renewable electricity, all while utilizing existing, low-cost LPG appliances and infrastructure.

This ability to transition positions LPG uniquely amongst Australia's energy future. As the nation moves toward net zero emissions, rLG complements renewable electricity, supporting variable renewable generation while offering a practical decarbonization pathway for applications where electrification may not be feasible or cost-effective.

LPG's value to Australia extends across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. From supporting essential services in remote communities to enabling high-temperature industrial processes, from providing cost-effective energy storage to ensuring disaster resilience, LPG delivers services that are difficult or impossible to replicate with other energy sources.

As Australia continues its energy transition, recognizing and supporting the development of renewable forms of LPG will ensure a diverse and resilient energy mix that maintains energy security while achieving climate objectives. The industry's deep integration into Australian life, combined with its transition potential, makes LPG not just valuable today, but essential for Australia's sustainable energy future.
