They are both Hydrocarbons

Natural gas is mainly Methane, one atom of carbon surrounded by Hydrogen, CH3.

Liquified Petroleum gas has longer chains of carbon, usually 3/4 Carbons (propane/butane, C3H8/C4H10)

What is difference in LPG and Piped Natural Gas?

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a portable fuel stored in cylinders, while piped natural gas is delivered through underground pipelines to homes and businesses. LPG is typically used for cooking and heating in areas without piped natural gas infrastructure.


What are the main constituents of LPG?

The main constituents of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) are propane and butane. These gases are considered hydrocarbons and are derived from natural gas processing and petroleum refining. LPG is commonly used as a fuel for heating and cooking purposes.


Is LPG a fossil fuel?

No, LPG is a natural gas recovered from oil wells


What is the calorific value of LPG?

The calorific value of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is approximately 46.1 MJ/kg (megajoules per kilogram). This high calorific value makes LPG a popular choice for heating, cooking, and other energy applications.


Does LPG comes from methane gas?

Light hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc.) are generally gases at normal temperatures and pressures. With the exception of methane they can be easily turned into liquids when cooled or stored under pressure. All these gases are present in natural gas or the gas fraction of petroleum oils. They are also created during the fractionation, cracking and reforming processes at refineries. Once liquefied ethane, propane and butane are called. LPGs (Liquefied Petroleum Gases) Methane is not generally considered an LPG although it can be liquefied at high pressures and low temperatures. All the gases come from the same source

What are the two main components of liquefied petroleum gas?

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) contains either mostly propane, mostly butane, or a combination that is mostly propane and butane in an approximately 3-to-2 mixture. Propane is an alkane, C3H8. Butane is also an alkane, C4H10. A link can be found below.
