| description |
Of all the modern fuels available today,
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is particularly well suited to
domestic cooking and heating uses because of its
clean-burning attributes and practical advantages over
traditional biomass fuels as well as kerosene. LPG is more
convenient in use and acquisition (e.g., no lengthy
gathering or onerous bulk purchasing operations as with
biomass), safer and cleaner. It has a high calorific value
by volume and mass and uses high-efficiency end-use cooking
apparatus. Households recognize these advantages and are
usually prepared to pay a premium for LPG over other fuels
if their incomes are high enough and LPG is available.
Switching from traditional biomass fuels and coal to LPG can
bring considerable health and environmental; benefits at the
local, regional and global levels. Indoor air pollution,
which affects mainly women and children, is greatly reduced.
Switching to LPG can also reduce deforestation and free up
supplies of dung for use as fertilizer and soil improver,
enhancing agricultural productivity. The savings in time
consumed gathering or acquiring bulk supplies of biomass
fuels may allow householders to dedicate this time to pursue
more productive activities, thus alleviating poverty. The
following provides brief descriptions of the nature and
characterization of LPG as well as a typical, generic supply
and distribution chain for the product. |
