Biopropane as an alternative with lower CO2 emissions
Would you like to reduce your CO2 emissions immediately without modifying your existing installation? Then biopropane could be a practical solution. You will maintain the same performance and reliability as with standard propane.
Whether you are looking to take steps towards biocircularity, net-zero ambitions, or ESG objectives: by choosing biopropane, you opt for an immediately deployable alternative that can contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
What is biopropane?
Biopropane is a gas produced from renewable and biocircular raw materials, such as waste streams and biomass. It is technically identical to conventional propane (C3H8) and can therefore be directly utilized in existing processes, equipment, and infrastructure.
Depending on the source and production chain, biopropane can contribute to a CO₂ reduction of up to approximately 90% compared to fossil propane, while maintaining the same performance and reliability.
Benefits of biopropane
- can contribute to lower CO2 emissions
- no major technical adjustments needed
- no investment in new equipment required

What is the difference between biopropane and propane gas?
Both gases are technically identical and deliver the same performance. The difference lies in their origin and CO2 impact.
Propane is extracted from fossil fuels. Biopropane is produced from renewable and biocircular sources.
Why choose biopropane?
An increasing number of businesses and residential customers are opting for biopropane because they want to take immediate steps towards sustainability without having to wait for complex energy transitions or significant investments.
Biopropane can be interesting when you:
- You want to achieve CO2 reduction compared to fossil fuels.
- wish to contribute to ESG objectives and net-zero ambitions
- values biocircularity and transparency in the supply chain
- you want to show your customers that you choose fuels with lower CO2 emissions
- is looking for a feasible alternative in situations where electrification is not yet possible
What does biopropane mean for CO2 reduction?
The use of biopropane can contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions. Depending on the source and production chain, the CO2 reduction can be as much as approximately 90% compared to conventional propane.
Biopropane is therefore interesting for businesses and residential customers:
- with concrete sustainability objectives - that want to comply with relevant laws and regulations - that wish to become more sustainable without large investments
Gradually transitioning to sustainability with biopropane blends
When switching to biopropane, you can choose 100% biopropane or a blend: a mix of biopropane and conventional propane, for example, 10/90 or 50/50. This allows for a gradual transition to sustainability, tailored to your situation and objectives, while continuing to utilize your existing infrastructure.
