    Gas Energy Australia

    Gas Energy Australia [http://gasenergyaus.au] is the national peak body representing the downstream gas fuels industry, encompassing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and associated gases – including a raft of renewable gases such as bioLPG, synthetic renewable LPG and renewable DME. The industry comprises major companies, medium and small businesses across the gas fuels supply chain including refiners, fuel marketers, equipment manufacturers, gas transporters, consultants and service providers.

    The Association focuses on a range of areas in support of Australian families, businesses and governments in delivering energy that is affordable and reliable, secures domestic supply and generates prosperity in a decarbonising economy.

    GEA focuses on advocating the value and benefits of these fuels through engagement with government, state authorities and consumers. The Association’s stakeholder engagement is supported by progressive policy development based on sound research, analysis and expert commentary, the ongoing development of national standards and innovative products and technology, proactive media and communications, and the development of the industry’s specialist workforce.

    BioLPG, rLPG and rDME are emerging alternative fuel options that are versatile, as well as affordable and reliable, and can be used for a range of applications in the residential, commercial, industrial (including farming) and recreational uses.

    Net zero bioLPG will be available in Australia from as early as 2025-26. It is a by-product of biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel production using the hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) process. The CSIRO's Sustainable Aviation Fuel Roadmap notes Australia has enough feedstock to produce 5 billion litres of SAF each year, able to supply 30 plants across the country over the years to come. While not all SAF will be via HVO, it will be an important part of production.

    The advent of renewable synthetic LPG (rLPG), made from green hydrogen and CO2 taken from the atmosphere, is an actual zero gas. That is, the only CO2 expelled when it is burned is what was captured when it was made – meaning it has a zero impact on the environment and requires no offsets. It is forecast that rLPG will be available in Australia from the mid-2030s and replace all conventional LPG use by 2050.

    Together, their use in Australia and overseas will deliver a brighter and cleaner future.
