Biopropane is a gas with many advantages. In addition to being 100% renewable, it is a low carbon gas that emits 78 % less CO2 than conventional propane. Finally, it is compatible with existing propane installations. Ripack explains why you should work with biopropane.
Biopropane is a biogas created from renewable materials, such as recycled oils and vegetable oils. These materials, all derived from biomass, have been given the name “biopropane”.
The raw materials associated with the production of biopropane are as follows:
The molecule that makes up biopropane is the same as that of conventional propane, which will allow it to be compatible with the existing distribution network.
Biopropane is produced in biofuel refineries, which are supplied with agricultural feedstock, such as vegetable oils, and industrial feedstock, such as cooking oils or animal fats.
The oils undergo a hydro treatment process (Hydro treated Vegetable Oils – HVO), which produces a fuel base close to that obtained during the distillation of crude oil.
The biopropane will then be conditioned, stored and transported in the same way as conventional propane.
The carbon footprint of biopropane is small, with only 60 g CO2e / kWh, or 78 % less CO2 emissions than conventional propane.
In addition, the combustion of biopropane is identical to that of standard propane, which will result in good air quality, as it emits virtually no fine particles.
Biopropane fumes will therefore not affect your operator.
The properties of the propane are preserved, which will thus make it possible to obtain the same output as that of conventional propane.
Biopropane can circulate through the same pipes and gas supply lines as propane, so no modifications are required. As for the storage of biopropane cylinders, the rules remain the same. If you would like to know more, see our article “Storage of gas cylinders in the workplace“.
Biopropane is compatible with every model in our various Ripack ranges, even the oldest. It will not affect the operation of your tool in any way.
Maintenance and servicing will also be the same when you decide to work with biopropane.
