Agriculture applications

Farmers across Europe rely on LPG to keep them growing. No other fuel can offer a comparable combination of portability, accessibility and convenience of use.

Most importantly, as a clean fuel LPG allows farmers to meet the challenge of staying competitive in the modern agricultural environment, all while respecting the value of nature and maintaining a commitment to sustainable development.

Whether used for livestock-rearing and crop-drying applications or simply for fuelling agricultural machinery, LPG is an essential tool for the contemporary European farmer.

Specific examples of LPG’s contribution on the farm include:

Pig & Chick Rearing The precision control that LPG provides ensures that animals can be raised in the comfort they require to grow and stay healthy. Crucially, it also makes dangers such as power cuts and voltage reductions a thing of the past. Such advantages are of considerable importance, not only because they help protect animal welfare but because they save money, avoid waste and generally enhance a farm’s competitiveness.

Grain drying and fruit drying:
LPG facilitates safer and more effective drying of crops such as fruit and grain, allowing farmer to preserve the quality of their crops and to meet specific market specifications for moisture content.

It also enhances efficiency since 90% of the propane used is converted to energy, meaning less waste and lower costs.

Thermal desiccation: As an effective substitute for the harmful chemicals sometimes used for weeding, LPG plays an important role in preserving the quality of soil and water sources. This is a further demonstration of LPG’s capacity to meet the needs of farmers. Whatever the application, LPG is an immediately available alternative, ready to power clean, modern and efficient agriculture all across Europe.
