BioLPG serves as a green substitute for fossil-fuel-based LPG, aiding the decarbonisation of transportation, residential, industrial, and petrochemical sectors. BioLPG is presently manufactured in France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
Due to its identical chemical composition to conventional LPG, bioLPG possesses the ability to be stored, blended, and utilised just like traditional LPG. It acts as an efficient drop-in replacement for existing LPG applications, such as transportation fuel, which is leading to the Europe bioLPG market expansion.
Strategic bioLPG supply partnerships in Europe aimed at decarbonising the economy aid the availability of bioLPG across the region.
The shifting economic landscape in the UK and EU towards biofuels and sustainable aviation fuels is propelling HVO-based pathways to the forefront as a key market driver for bioLPG production.

Table: Strategic Alliances in the Europe BioLPG Market
| Date | Description |
| November 2022 | Friedrich Scharr KG, a German multi-energy fuel distribution group entered a Research Funding and Collaboration Agreement with BioLPG LLC to develop renewable LPG (bioLPG) technology. The collaboration aims to develop the GTI Energy renewables-sourced, green LPG (“bioLPG”) Cool LPG technology and for preparation of bioLPG production at scale within the next few years. |
| October 2022 | Green LG Energy and BioLPG LLC entered into a significant agreement to increase funding for the development of renewable bioLPG technology, aiming to contribute to the decarbonization of LPG sourcing in Italy and Europe. The collaboration underscores their commitment to producing affordable and green bioLPG at scale to meet energy demands while aligning with global emissions reduction targets. |
| February 2021 | UGI International established an exclusive partnership with Ekobenz, a bioLPG producer, giving UGI exclusive rights to Ekobenz's bioLPG supply in Europe. This collaboration enhances UGI International's sustainable fuels portfolio, aligning with its decarbonization strategy and commitment to the Paris Agreement's net-zero global economy goals while addressing customers' carbon reduction needs. |
Increasing importance of decarbonisation; rising number of initiatives for environmental safety and security; rising research and development activities; and existing building stock for bioLPG production are impacting the Europe bioLPG market growth
| Date | Company | Event |
| Jan 2023 | Eni | Eni, the Italian oil and gas giant, launched Eni Sustainable Mobility, consolidating its existing biomethane operations and other sustainable transport-related products. |
| Oct 2022 | Eni | Eni held a meeting with Tuscany's president, Eugenio Giani, along with the mayors of Livorno and Collesalvetti, Luca Salvetti and Adelio Antolini, respectively, to confirm their exploration of constructing a new bio-refinery at Eni's Livorno industrial site. |
| Aug 2022 | SHV Energy | SHV Energy, through its Italian subsidiary Liquigas, finalised an agreement to acquire the LPG heating business unit of the SIGLI group. |
| Trends | Impact |
| Decarbonisation targets | Governments across Europe are striving to achieve decarbonisation amid the growing concerns about climate change. In support of this, various initiatives and plans are being introduced to significantly reduce carbon emissions, leading to the adoption of renewable fuel sources such as BioLPG. |
| Research and development | Research and development (R&D) efforts in the field of bioLPG are witnessing a notable increase. R&D activities to enhance bioLPG production processes, explore new feedstock options, improve efficiency, and expand its applications, aid the advancement of the Europe bioLPG market. |
| Existing building stock for bioLPG in Europe | In Europe, there are approximately 2 million LPG boilers that can lock-into lower carbon dioxide emissions cost-effectively. Households can avoid the expenses and inconveniences associated with switching to a new heating system as bioLPG can be easily combusted in existing LPG boilers. |
| Government initiatives supporting bio-fuel production | In April 2023, the European Parliament and Council negotiators reached a provisional deal on the RefuelEU Aviation rules. Under the agreement, at least 2% of aviation fuels will be sustainable from 2025, with this share increasing every five years to reach 70% by 2050. Investment in new plants for producing sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) is expected to increase the production of bioLPG as a by-product. |
As the HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) process is currently the dominant method for commercial bioLPG production, manufacturers are actively investing in research and development efforts. These initiatives aim to investigate alternative sources for bioLPG procurement, such as exploring the potential of microbial synthetic pathways for biopropane production through fermentation.
Rural property owners who reside off-grid and seek eco-friendly heating solutions might discover substantial initial cost savings by transitioning to LPG/bioLPG, in comparison to other low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps or biomass boilers.
Over the last five years, commercial bioLPG production via hydroprocessing has experienced steady double-digit growth, driven by a growing number of refinery conversions and the emergence of greenfield biofuels initiatives.

“Europe BioLPG Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
| Market Breakup | Categories |
| Application | Industrial, Transport, Household, HoReCa, Offices, Others |
| Country | France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Belgium |
Based on application, the industrial sector accounts for a significant Europe BioLPG market share
Substituting oil with LPG and bioLPG in low-temperature industrial processes, like vehicle manufacturing and the food industry, can provide cost-effective and lasting emission savings. A combination of bioLPG and electric motors within hybrid systems offers a dual advantage by not only enhancing air quality but also establishing a reliable solution for the reduction of emissions.
For businesses like rural hotels and restaurants, transitioning from heating oil to bioLPG provides a simple and effective method to reduce emissions without the need for extensive building renovations. Further, replacing oil consumption with bioLPG can offer a cost-effective solution for old and historic buildings.
BioLPG is the ideal cost-effective heating solution for rural homes in EU, where over 40 million rural households lack access to the gas grid. With fossil fuels and wood being their primary heating sources, bioLPG has the potential to drive decarbonisation.
The applications of bioLPG in the transportation sector are expected to increase in the coming years. Autogas leads as the top alternative fuel in the EU, comprising 3% of all alternative fuels and serving 8 million vehicles. With 250 million passenger cars on the road, which have an average lifespan of 11 years (up to 17 years in Eastern Europe) and considering that EU legislation primarily focuses on emissions from new cars with delayed effects, converting existing vehicles to Autogas is a cost-effective means to expedite the reduction of emissions from road transport.
