Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as Liquid Petroleum Gas, is a mixture of propane and butane stored under pressure so that it remains in liquid form under normal conditions. LPG is an extremely practical, economical, and clean fuel used in households, industry, agriculture, and transportation. Its properties allow for high energy efficiency, easy storage, and transport, making it an ideal solution in areas where natural gas is not available.
In everyday language, LPG is often referred to simply as “gas” or “propane-butane,” while when used as fuel for vehicles, it is called “autogas.” Pure propane, due to its higher volatility, is also used as an industrial gas for metal cutting and as an energy source in industrial processes, especially in winter conditions.
Why Use LPG?
LPG combines cost-effectiveness, convenience, and environmental friendliness. Its cleaner combustion reduces CO₂ and other harmful emissions, while high energy efficiency provides significant energy output with lower fuel consumption. Easy storage and transport make LPG particularly suitable for households, temporary facilities, camps, and remote industrial sites. Using LPG helps save money, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure reliable operation of systems, whether for vehicles or industrial equipment.
Applications of LPG
LPG is highly versatile and used across various sectors:
- Heating for homes and buildings: heating houses, apartments, and cottages; commercial space heating; fuel for gas stoves, boilers, and radiators; particularly suitable where natural gas is unavailable.
- Industry: operation of industrial furnaces and machines, drying, baking, and heating in the food industry (bakeries, dryers, kitchens); agricultural applications (greenhouse heating, grain dryers); industrial gas for metal cutting.
- Transport – Autogas (LPG): fuel for passenger and commercial vehicles; cheaper than gasoline or diesel; cleaner combustion reduces engine wear and maintenance costs.
- Hospitality: restaurant kitchens, gas stoves and grills, mobile stands, and street-food kitchens.
- Camping and garden use: gas grills and heaters, gas lamps, and portable heating devices.
Using LPG provides a practical, economical, and environmentally friendly energy supply for households, industry, and transportation.
Advantages of Using LPG
- Lower energy costs: LPG is often cheaper than other fossil fuels, especially in areas without natural gas.
- Clean combustion: reduces CO₂ and other harmful emissions.
- Energy efficiency: high energy content delivers more heat or power with less fuel.
- Versatility: suitable for households, industry, hospitality, transport, and recreational use.
- Reliable storage and transport: easy to transport and store, with a long shelf life.
Availability and Distribution
KryoGas distributes LPG (autogas) at two gas stations: PC Subotica and PC Čukarica. Propane-butane cylinders are available at all KryoGas business centers.
In Belgrade, at the Palilula business center, there is also an auto service for the installation and maintenance of gas systems, providing complete support for LPG users—from installation and maintenance to fuel supply.
LPG Pricing
LPG is a highly economical solution for households, industry, and transportation. Compared to gasoline and diesel, LPG is significantly cheaper, allowing for substantial savings, especially with long-term use or for facilities and fleets requiring continuous operation.
In addition to a lower price per unit of fuel, LPG reduces maintenance costs for equipment and vehicles. Its clean combustion reduces wear on engines and furnaces, while its high energy efficiency provides maximum energy output with lower consumption.
Whether heating a home, using it in industrial processes, or as vehicle fuel, LPG is a reliable and cost-effective solution that delivers savings and long-term cost stability.

FAQ
LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas (propane and butane), is used as fuel in industrial boilers, furnaces, generators, and transport vehicles. It is easy to store and transport in liquid form under pressure.
LPG is a cleaner fuel than fuel oil and coal, reduces harmful gas emissions, is easy to transport and store, and its energy is highly concentrated, enabling efficient operation of industrial plants.
Yes, it is necessary to have tanks and cylinders for pressurized storage, gas-resistant pipelines, and safety valves to safely deliver the gas to consumers.
LPG is safe when used with proper equipment and safety procedures. Regular inspections, pressure relief valves, and leak detectors reduce the risk of accidents.
The initial investment includes tanks, pipelines, and system installation. In the long term, LPG can reduce fuel costs and enable more stable operation compared to fuel oil or coal.
LPG is transported in tankers or pressurized cylinders and stored in special tanks with safety valves. The gas is then delivered to boilers, furnaces, or generators through controlled pipelines.
Yes, equipment that uses LPG must be regularly inspected and serviced, including tanks, valves, pipelines, and boilers, to ensure safety and reliable operation.
