LPG
The most sustainable fossil fuel
For these reasons, LPG is considered to be the “handy” fuel in Europe.
LPG is neither toxic nor poisonous. However, it has anaesthetic properties and it is better to avoid breathing it. In the liquid state, due to the rapid evaporation, if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes it can cause cold burns. It is therefore necessary to avoid contact. In addition, since LPG has a higher density than air, it tends to stratify downwards if dispersed in the environment.
ButanGas has always been renown in the LPG market for innovation and the pursuit of the highest standards of safety, efficiency and technology, thanks to a constant modernization of plants and structures in strict compliance with the regulations in force.
All this without ever forgetting about the protection of the environment through the adoption of increasingly environmentally friendly solutions at all stages of production, transport and distribution of LPG.
