LPG Charter of Benefit
The Six major global benefits of using LPG have been described in the LPG Charter of Benefits, published
by the largest association in the industry, the World LPG Association. Each benefit is supported by a
series of proof points which highlight the specific characteristics of LPG that make this type of gas so
important in domestic, industrial and transport applications.
Members of the Association were warmly invited to promote these benefits. Indeed, the document is just
the first phase of the 2017 Communication Plan (Phase I), which is part of the WLPGA’s three-year
strategic plan.
The goal of the WLPGA is to promote greater and greater use of LPG worldwide—from this point of view,
communication is crucial. As a WLPGA member, "LPG In Nigeria" has been asked to promote the content of
the “Charter of Benefits” both in-house and with its customers.
1. HEALTH - LPG is a clean fuel which can be safely used in all kinds of cooking.
Unlike other fuels, it does not produce harmful smoke, and it can help reduce air pollution in the here
and now.
2. CLIMATE - The use of LPG produces less CO2 emissions than coal, oil and gasoline. It does not emit
black carbon or other particulates, which are extremely harmful to the environment.
3. ECONOMIC GROWTH AND SOCIAL PROGRESS - LPG is a driver of economic growth, especially in rural areas
and developing countries.
4. RESOURCE EFFICIENT - Most of the LPG on the market is a co-product of natural gas and oil extraction
and thus obtained through efficient procedures. LPG also plays an important role in reducing
deforestation and desertification.
5. EFFICIENCY - One billion people and businesses around the world count on LPG because it provides
instant, reliable, constant energy that is easily transportable as well.
6. ENERGY FUTURE - LPG is a key component of achieving sustainable energy.
LPG is in the future of both cities and rural areas, especially in developing countries.
