Challenges and opportunities of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

Currently there are more economical alternatives to replace fossil fuels used by land vehicles which can help reduce emissions of polluting gases. As Cynthia Marín (2015) explains options such as electricity LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) LPG (Liquefied Gases at Ambient Temperature) or biofuels are options that in the medium and long term could replace the consumption of fossil fuels in the transportation sector thus reducing GHG emissions. Regarding the use of LPG as an alternative fuel in land transportation it is documented that since the 20th century its use has become widespread in countries such as Italy Algeria Turkey Poland China India Australia Spain and others. By 2015 the total number of vehicles in the world that were mobilized with LPG amounted to 15000000.
