LPG (liquefied petroleum gas)
LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, is a flammable mixture primarily composed of propane and butane. It is stored as a liquid under pressure, which makes it compact for transport and storage. When released, it vaporizes into a gas that burns cleanly and efficiently, making it a common fuel for heating, cooking, and refrigeration. LPG is widely used globally due to its convenience, portability, and relatively low environmental impact compared to other fossil fuels. Safety precautions are essential because, as a gas, it can ignite easily if not handled properly.
