In 2023–2024, the United States, Russia, and Saudi Arabia were the leading exporters of Liquefied petroleum ges, collectively accounting for over 40% of global export value, while China, India, and Japan remained the largest importers, driven by petrochemical feedstock demand and energy diversification. Export volumes from the U.S. increased steadily amid expanded Gulf Coast liquefaction capacity, while Liquefied petroleum ges prices showed heightened volatility in 2024, correlating with regional supply disruptions and seasonal demand fluctuations in Asia and Europe.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a colorless, volatile, flammable mixture of light hydrocarbons—primarily propane and butane—in liquid form under moderate pressure at ambient temperature. It is classified as a petroleum-derived fuel gas and hydrocarbon mixture, not a single compound. LPG is widely used as a clean-burning fuel for heating, cooking, and transportation (autogas), and serves as a feedstock for petrochemical cracking units to produce ethylene and propylene. Its principal application areas include energy supply (residential, commercial, and industrial), automotive fuel, and as a raw material in the synthesis of olefins and alkylate compounds for polymers and gasoline blending.
As fuel; in production of chemicals
LPG is a colorless, noncorrosive, odorlessmixture of gases when pure. A foul-smelling odorant isusually added. Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas (amixture of propane, butanes, propylene, and butylenes)
