Assessment of the potential of small scale LPG technologies

Abstract

Many countries experience an economic growth, naturally leading to an increasing demand of energy. LPG is a relatively unknown energy carrier in Europe, whereas in other parts of the world LPG is used for daily cooking in every local household.

This thesis attempts to use established methods in order to produce representable technical and economic data from the LPG business, data that has appeared hard to obtain.

The field of knowledge related to LPG is unorganized compared to more established and well known energy sources. This thesis makes suggestions on new models which could act as a basis for data input in the LPG business.
