LPG for the Agricultural Sector: Why It's Better Than Diesel

LPG and Agriculture: A Winning Combination

The agricultural sector needs reliable and efficient energy for various activities: drying grains, heating greenhouses, producing hot water and powering machinery. LPG represents an advantageous alternative to diesel, both economically and environmentally.

Advantages of LPG over Diesel in Agriculture

1. Saving on Energy Costs

LPG has a higher calorific value than diesel, which means that for the same consumption it produces more energy. In addition, its price tends to be more stable and competitive compared to traditional fossil fuels.

2. Lower Polluting Emissions

LPG emits up to 20% less CO₂ than diesel, does not produce particulate matter and has a reduced environmental impact. This is essential for agricultural companies that want to comply with sustainability regulations and access environmental incentives.

3. Greater Efficiency and Ease of Storage

LPG tanks can be easily installed and require less maintenance than diesel tanks, eliminating the risk of land contamination from leaks or spills.

4. Versatility of Use

LPG is perfect for a variety of agricultural applications, including:

• Heating of greenhouses and livestock farms
• Drying of cereals and fodder
• Powering machinery and generators
• Production of hot water for production processes

LPG Tanks for the Agricultural Sector

Farms can choose between tanks of different capacities based on their needs. There are underground solutions to reduce visual impact or above ground tanks for faster installation.

Conclusion

Switching from diesel to LPG in agriculture is a strategic choice to reduce costs, improve efficiency and reduce emissions. If you want to evaluate a system tailored to your farm, contact us for a personalized consultation.
