Report Description

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a type of hydrocarbon, consisting of propane or butane. These are usually in gas form at atmospheric temperature and pressure, and liquefy when introduced in modest temperature or refrigeration (pure butane liquefies at 68 degrees Fahrenheit whereas pure propane liquefies at 131 degrees Fahrenheit), which makes it possible to transport or store LPG as liquid. LPG is stored or transported in pressurized cylindrical containers. It is produced during refining or extracted from natural gas production processes. LPG is clean, lower carbon, and an efficient source of energy for various end-user segments.

TechNavio’s analysts forecast the Global LPG market will grow at a CAGR of 4.0 percent over the period 2013-2018.

Press Release

TechNavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report - Global Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market 2014-2018

TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in Global Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market: BP plc, Chevron Corp., ExxonMobil Corp., Phillips 66 plc, Royal Dutch Shell plc, China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.(Sinopec) , China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC), Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), Valero Energy Corp.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “The increasing government support for LPG usage in vehicles is another major trend in the Global LPG market. In order to reduce emissions from local vehicles, many governments have announced incentives and support for LPG-based vehicles. For instance, the US Department of Energy has introduced a federal law and policy for LPG that covers alternative fuel tax exemption. The policy deems alternative fuels to be non-taxable with regard to federal fuel taxes under the Internal Revenue Service. Also, the Government of Hong Kong announced the LPG Vehicle Scheme in its 1999 policy that includes the provision of incentives in 2000 for the replacement of diesel taxis with LPG taxis. Thus, support from governments across the globe drives the demand for LPG globally.”

According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is an increase in global energy consumption. The rising demand for energy from various sectors has boosted the demand for different energy products such as LPG.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the capital-intensive nature of LPG projects. Many investors are reluctant to invest in LPG projects because of their need for high capital investment and their long gestation period.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Solar Thermal Market in Europe 2014-2018

Solar thermal energy utilizes solar energy to produce low-cost, eco-friendly thermal energy. The energy can be used to boil water or other fluids, and also power solar cooling systems. Solar thermal technology differs from solar PV, which generates electricity rather than heat. Solar thermal energy generation system captures solar rays through optical concentration. Optical concentration is the arrangement of mirrors or lenses in such a way that it generates high temperature by concentrating sunlight to a small area. This high temperature is used to turn water into steam that is used to rotate turbines which generate electricity. TechNavio's analysts forecast the Solar Thermal market in Europe to grow at a CAGR of 18.2 percent over the period 2013-2018. Covered in this Report The ......

Global Solar PV Market 2014-2018

Solar PV is the method of generating electricity through the conversion of solar radiation using semiconductors that exhibit PV effect. PV power generation uses solar panels composed of a number of solar cells containing a PV material. Materials presently used for PV include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium selenide/sulfide. The conventional way of power generation through fossil fuels is continuously depleting, and it also causes environmental hazards. As a result, the eco-friendly renewable methods of power generation such as solar PV have become popular over the last decade. Solar PV power is generated by the monocrystalline silicon method, which is the most efficient and less expensive. Solar PV power is a......

Global Cellulosic Ethanol Market 2014-2018

Ethanol that is produced by converting sugar in cellulose is particularly known as cellulosic ethanol. It is produced from lignocellulose available in cellulosic materials such as wood and grass. Ethanol is the most commonly commended alternative or additive for gasoline and is produced through the fermentation process of cellulosic feedstock. It is also gaining much attention because its feedstock can be grown anywhere and also can be sourced from agricultural waste residues. It provides a greener alternative to corn ethanol along with using feedstock that does not take advantage of food meant for human consumption. TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Cellulosic Ethanol market to grow at a CAGR of 53.3 percent over the period 2013-2018. Covered in this Report In terms of fee......
