LPG to Biomethane Conversion

Abstract

Wales & West Utilities (WWU) is undertaking a major programme of change to support decarbonisation and deliver a Net Zero gas network. This project explores the potential conversion of LPG networks within WWU to biomethane as a pathway to decarbonisation. The initiative is driven by the challenge of replacing LPG in rural, off-grid communities where previous alternatives—such as hydrogen blending or full electrification—face significant technical, storage, and infrastructure constraints.

Although electrification and hydrogen blending with LPG have been explored as potential decarbonisation options for rural, off-grid communities using LPG, the potential conversion of LPG to biomethane has not yet been explored as a means of decarbonisation for networks of this kind. This work will explore the technical and commercial feasibility of this solution, the appliance conversion requirements, and see the production of a conceptual design for future phases of research in this vein.
