Biopropane

Renewable LPG, molecule-identical to fossil propane. For the industry that sits beyond the end of the gas network.

The same gas, from a different place

Biopropane is propane. Not a substitute, not a blend component, not something that behaves almost like it — the identical C₃H₈ molecule, produced as a co-product when waste oils and fats are hydrotreated to make HVO. It meets the same commercial propane specification as the fossil product.

Which means the switch is genuinely nothing: the same tank, the same regulator, the same pipework, the same burner settings, the same cylinders. You do not empty anything, recommission anything or recertify anything. The tanker that arrives simply contains a different history.

Why it matters

For everywhere the pipeline stops

A large share of European industry has no gas connection and never will — the sites are too remote, too small individually, or too seasonal to justify the trench. Those operations are usually told that decarbonisation means an electrification project they cannot afford and a process temperature they cannot reach. Biopropane is the answer that requires neither: a renewable fuel that drops into equipment already installed and already certified.

Where it fits

Four places it earns its price

If you buy propane or butane today, in bulk or in cylinders, this is a like-for-like swap.

Ceramics, glass and brick

High-temperature kilns cannot be electrified economically at current tariffs. Biopropane gives you the same flame temperature and the same control curve as fossil LPG.

Food processing and baking

Direct-fired ovens, fryers and steam raising, where the flame touches the product and fuel quality is a food safety question as much as an energy one.

Agriculture

Crop and grain drying, greenhouse heating, poultry and pig house heating — seasonal, rural, and almost never within reach of a gas main.

Forklifts and site equipment

Cylinder-fed forklifts in warehouses and cold stores, plus temporary heat and bitumen work on construction sites.

Supply formats

How we can supply it

Full substitution or a fixed blend percentage, tracked on mass balance so the certificate matches the molecules.

Common questions

Is my existing tank and certification still valid?
Yes. Because the product meets the same commercial propane specification, your existing installation, its inspection regime and its certification are unaffected. Confirm with your installer as a matter of routine, but there is no technical reason for anything to change.
Is there enough of it?
Not for everybody, which is the honest answer. Biopropane is produced as a co-product of HVO, so global volume is limited by how much HVO the world makes. Availability is contracted well in advance. If it matters to your plan, start the conversation early rather than at renewal.
Should I use biopropane or biomethane?
If you have a gas connection, biomethane is almost always cheaper per unit of energy and easier to scale. Biopropane is for sites with no connection, or for cylinder and off-grid applications where a pipeline is not an option. Tell us your location and we will say which one we would sell you.
