The science of sustainability
It's known as BioLPG because it comes from the biodiesel production process. This is a simple overview of the production process:
Step 1
It all starts with a ‘feedstock’ of waste oils and fats. It needs a series of treatments to clear out contaminants.
Step 2
The fuel mix still contains oxygen, which need to be removed. A process called‘ hydrogenolysis’ takes care of that, using hydrogen atoms.
Step 3
During refining, ‘off gases’ are captured. They might sound like something we'd want to get rid of, but they’re the exact opposite.
Step 4
For every tonne of biodiesel produced, 50kg of BioLPG is generated from off gases.
Step 5
A final round of purifying, and BioLPG is ready to go to businesses and homes. The best part: it’s chemically identical to traditional LPG, so while carbon emissions come down, performance stays at 100%.
Calor has multiple supplier partners for BioLPG, such as Neste - the world leader in advanced biofuels - and is then supplied by us via our parent company, SHV Energy. It's manufactured in a custom-built production unit in Rotterdam and is a co-product of the groundbreaking NEXBTL biodiesel production process.
*LPG will reduce your emissions by up to 22% and up to 84% when switching from Oil to BioLPG), based on a 100% BioLPG tariff. See our CO2 Emission Savings table here.
