LPG emits fewer emissions than coal and diesel per gigajoule and is a reliable alternative for high-intensity heat applications.
LPG is stored under pressure with no risk of ground contamination from spillage and no waste management, such as ash disposal.
LPG has no risk of fuel degradation, a challenge for many businesses using diesel, particularly in applications where diesel is heated to extreme temperatures.
LPG excels in high-temperature applications, such as boilers and on-site power generation.
Discussion around hydrogen and the comparison to LPG as a fuel source is difficult due to hydrogen's limited availability in Australia. Today, hydrogen is only available as part of pilot projects. However, if hydrogen becomes more readily available, road transportation costs, investment required for new equipment and accessibility will impact the uptake of hydrogen.
LPG eliminates the need for coal ash management and associated costly processes for those looking to transition away from coal combustion.
Origin is actively exploring multiple technologies for the production of bioLPG, focused on the co-production of bioLPG from Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
You can be confident that with Origin’s established shipping, transport operations and nation-wide terminals, once bioLPG is available in Australia we’ll be ready to supply a bioLPG blend Australia-wide.
A leading energy provider, our delivery network, national reach and in-house shipping capability give your business security and reliability of LPG supply.
We provide detailed analysis of existing processes which can help you improve business efficiency with minimal disruption to current operations.
Read about our work with Gelita Australia to reduce their environmental impact.
Analysing usage data, alongside our industry and local expertise, we’ll look at ways to help you accelerate your decarbonisation strategy either through LPG as a transition fuel or we can assess the viability of a range of Origin products and service options including solar, batteries, electric vehicles and virtual power plants.
Read about how we worked with Howard Smith Wharves to help them on their roadmap to decarbonisation.
We believe our medium-term target and long-term ambitions to be consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
LPG is the fuel choice for many businesses that require high intensity heat. For agriculture, mining, crematoriums, cement & asphalt, LPG enables:
Chat to us about how we can help utilise waste for on-site energy generation and how we can help integrate behind-the-meter biogas with LPG.
As old coal boilers reach end-of-life, gas boilers are an opportunity to transition from coal. Chat to us about how we can future proof your steam & hot water requirements.
Read about how we use LPG fuelled power generation for our Origin Cairns terminal.
If you’re looking to reduce emissions for your forklift business, we can look at electrification and solar. To minimise change and costs associated with change, staying with LPG today may be another option that can set your business up for bioLPG.
LPG has lower emissions intensity for forklifts than grid electricity.
LPG can offer 240 times quicker refill times than battery electric forklifts.
We can chat about multiple forklift fuelling pathways for LPG, including future planning for bioLPG and electrification.
Flame cooking, instant heating and immediate temperature control makes LPG a popular choice for the hospitality industry. Stay with LPG today for a bioLPG tomorrow.
LPG can burn at 1980 degrees Celsius, compared to only 260 degrees Celsius for electric cooking.
LPG provides instantaneous temperatures compared to electric cooktops.
LPG provides the option for flame grilling and instant temperature control.
Ideal for sites beyond the reach of natural gas, the electricity grid or solar, LPG offers a reliable energy source for high-intensity applications across a wide range of industries.[1]
You have the option today to offset greenhouse gas emissions, with Origin’s Go Zero LPG.
Already used by Australian businesses for heating, cooking and powering vehicles, biogas is energy generated using decomposed organic matter. Businesses looking to implement biogas can use LPG as a back-up fuel to ensure consistent, reliable energy.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a growing fuel source for Australian aviation and is produced using biogenic and non-biogenic feedstocks and processes. BioLPG is a co-product of SAF, expected to be available for Australian businesses to use as a drop-in replacement for LPG. At Origin, we’re actively exploring multiple technologies to offer our customers a range of options.
To reduce emissions, some Australian businesses are also looking to blended fuels. Renewable Dimethyl Ether or rDME is produced from renewable biomass and other sources, and can be blended with LPG.
Innovative, sustainable processes are evolving worldwide, providing consumers with more choice than ever before. Technologies such as pyrolysis and gasification, currently being trialled in Australia, produces synthetic or electro fuels through the electrolysis of water.
Conventional LPG will eventually be replaced by Renewable LPG produced from 50% renewable technology.
Conventional LPG is expected to be fully replaced with renewable liquid gas (RLG) produced with 100% renewable processes and sources.[2]
