Diesel LPG Replacement
Share
Benefits, Savings and Sustainability
Introduction
The switch from diesel to LPG represents a strategic choice for companies, agricultural activities, industries and accommodation facilities that wish to reduce energy costs and environmental impact. LPG is a cleaner, cheaper and more versatile fuel, ideal for those looking for an efficient solution without depending on methane gas networks.
In this article we will see why replacing diesel with LPG is convenient and what solutions Ecogenera offers for the conversion of systems.
Why Replace Diesel with LPG?
1. Economic Savings
LPG has a lower cost than diesel, both for the purchase of fuel and for the maintenance of the systems. Furthermore, it has a higher calorific value , ensuring a better use of the energy produced.
2. Reduction of Polluting Emissions
LPG is a cleaner energy source:
- -25% CO₂ compared to diesel
- Zero particulate emissions
- Lower emissions of sulphur oxides (SOₓ) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ)
This feature makes it ideal for companies that want to reduce their environmental impact and comply with European emissions regulations.
3. Greater Energy Efficiency
LPG has a high calorific value and more efficient combustion than diesel, ensuring better performance in industrial processes, heating systems and hot water production.
4. Lower Maintenance Costs
LPG burners and boilers require less maintenance than diesel ones, since LPG leaves no combustion residues and does not dirty the system components. This translates into fewer cleaning interventions and a longer life of the systems.
Sectors Where Conversion is More Convenient
- Industry and Manufacturing → Powering of furnaces, thermal processes, generators
- Agriculture and Livestock → Greenhouse heating, grain drying, livestock
- Hotels, Restaurants and Communities → Domestic hot water, industrial kitchens, heating
- Residential Buildings and Condominiums → Centralized heating systems
