Product Information

BioLPG, an eco-propane, is a renewable, sustainable energy source made from a blend of waste, residues, and sustainably sourced materials. It’s chemically identical to LPG and is compatible with all LPG products - BioLPG has no compromise on performance, so it's as energy efficient as LPG, whilst supporting us all to achieve a more sustainable future.

Patio gas stored in green cylinders is propane, which is ideally for use in outdoor areas. This is specifically called Patio gas because it is designed to power outdoor appliances such as gas barbecues and patio heaters, and these bottles are compatible with a 27mm clip on regulator. There is one caveat to this however. You won’t need to use a regulator if you have a High-Pressure BBQ. This is because this type of BBQ is designed to connect directly to the gas bottle via a threaded connection. High-Pressure BBQs are designed to receive a much higher flow of gas and as a result, don’t require a gas regulator. Common types of gas bottles and their regulators Ease of use – again, like butane, propane gas is an easy to use fuel source. Simply connect the gas bottle to your BBQ, allow the gas to reach the appliance, hit the ignition switch and you’re cooking on gas! Gas is available in small ‘patio bottles’. These are specifically designed for use with outdoor appliances such as BBQs. Patio gas bottles are generally filled with propane gas. When it comes to carbon emissions, both propane and butane are clean burning fuels that are better for the environment than alternatives such as oil. If you are using propane in BioLPG form (where it is still chemically identical to LPG and compatible with all LPG products) you can reduce your carbon emissions by up to 38% when compared to oil**.Butane gas is mainly used for camping, single burner cooking appliances and indoor portable heaters. Butane has a boiling point of -2ºc and tends to be a bit cheaper than propane.
