The concrete advantages of LPG conversion in agriculture

1. Superior energy efficiency

Thanks to its 92% efficiency and high calorific value, LPG allows for a reduction in consumption , improving the efficiency of agricultural production processes.

2. Reduction of emissions

LPG burns cleaner than diesel, limiting emissions of CO₂, NOx and particulate matter . This is also essential to obtain incentives or environmental scores in regional agricultural tenders and PNRR .

3. Energy independence

With the installation of LPG tanks in your company, you are no longer tied to the methane network and can independently manage your supplies , even in hilly or isolated areas.
