LPG (aka: liquefied petroleum gas, or bottled gas) is commonly used in heating, cooking and lighting. Although naturally colorless and odorless, LGP is specially odorized in refineries to make leak detection easier. LPG can be obtained either by refining crude oil or processing natural gas. Then it’s filled into steel tanks and sold to the public. LPG includes butane, propane gases, and combinations thereof. In Türkiye, LPG is widely sold as household tanks consisting of 70% butane and 30% propane. LPG is heavier than air due to its high density, and is hydrocarbon based flammable gas.

It is available both in liquid and gas form in the tank. Once installed, the amount of LPG gas at the top drops while the LPG liquid at the bottom evaporates due to external thermal energy, and regenerates whatever gas has been lost. Under pressure, LPG takes liquid from. It evaporates into gas gaseous at room temperature. This means that LPG can be conveniently stored and transported in steel tanks, and that it easily evaporates even at low temperatures, thus making it superior to other kinds of fuel.

Since 2004, Aygaz Natural Gas (a subsidiary of Aygaz) has been engaged in the wholesale and transfer of natural gas to eligible consumers via pipelines and special vehicles to others who cannot use natural gas through pipelines. Aygaz Natural Gas aims to be a “versatile player in the natural gas market”, and as such, closely follows market dynamics and keep their eye out for new opportunities.
