WORLD LP GAS ASSOCIATION

 

WORLD LP GAS ASSOCIATIONThe World LP Gas Association (WLPGA) is the authoritative voice of the global LP Gas industry representing all sectors of the industry. WLPGA’s primary aim is to add value to the sector through driving premium demand for LP Gas, while promoting compliance to good business and safety practices. It brings together private and public companies involved in one, several, or all activities of the industry; develops partnerships with international organizations and implements projects on local and global scales. WLPGA was established in 1987 and granted Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1989.

As the authoritative, global voice for LP Gas, the WLPGA promotes the use of LP Gas globally to foster a cleaner, healthier and more prosperous world. The WLPGA adheres to the following mission:

  • Demonstrate the benefits of LP Gas and position it as clean energy for a low carbon world.
  • Create the environment to develop and sustain LP Gas markets.
  • Identify and stimulate innovation.
  • Promote compliance with health, safety and environment standards and good business practices.
  • Facilitate and drive communication among all stakeholders.

 

LP GAS: AN EXCEPTIONAL ENERGY

For many years, LP Gas has played a valuable role in meeting the world’s energy needs. In the future, LP Gas has the opportunity to enhance this role because of its obvious benefits as an efficient and healthy fuel as well as its immediate contributions to delivering real greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Global awareness about rising energy costs, the reliability of energy supplies, health and climate change are encouraging nations to make choices and LP Gas can be the solution in many applications and regions of the world. LP Gas is therefore a healthy fuel option compared to some traditional fuels used in both the developing world, where negative health consequences caused by indoor air pollution is a grave problem, and in the developed world in congested, built-up cities. The World LP Gas Association (WLPGA) demonstrates these clear benefits of LP Gas, a clean and modern energy through its activities and interaction with its stakeholders every day. Throughout 2009, the WLPGA conducted three major studies that demonstrate the three key benefits of LP Gas as a low carbon, efficient and healthy energy source when compared to other fuels in different applications around the world. Please contact the WLPGA should you wish to obtain a copy of these studies.
