| | LP GAS BUSINESS GUIDELINES
FOR GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE
IN THE LP GAS INDUSTRY LP Gas is a global industry operating in a wide variety of regulatory jurisdictions. These guidelines provide an important tool for industry participants and governmental authorities to ensure that the customer and the marketplace are not compromised by those who carry out ‘bad practices’. Strong emphasis is placed on the good practices throughout the entire LP Gas distribution chain including the ever important ‘metal management’. It is a companion Document to Guidelines for Good Safety Practices. | |

Autogas - LP Gas used as a transport fuel - is by far the most widely used and accepted alternative automotive fuel in use in the world today. Global consumption of autogas reached an estimated 17.1 million tonnes in 2004, and is increasing rapidly. Today, there are over 10 million autogas vehicles in use around the world. Yet autogas use is still concentrated in a small number of countries: five countries - Korea, Japan, Poland, Turkey and Australia - together account for more than half of global autogas consumption. The twenty countries surveyed in this report account for 94%.
The share of autogas in total automotive-fuel consumption also varies widely among those countries, ranging from a mere 0.1% in the United States to 16% in Poland. The only countries other than Poland where autogas accounts for more than 10% of the automotive-fuel market are Korea, Bulgaria, Turkey and Lithuania. The enormous disparity in the success of autogas in competing against the conventional automotive fuels, gasoline and diesel, is largely because of differences in government incentive policies.

A TECHNICAL GUIDE ON AUTOGAS
The purpose of this document is to provide technical support information for the WLPGA publication "Developing A Sustainable Autogas Market- A Guide for Policy Makers". It also addresses the environmental advantages of autogas and progress made with regard to the harmonisation of autogas components, related standards and regulations. | |

A GUIDE FOR POLICY MAKERS In meeting the increasing demands for more environmentally friendly automotive fuels, the role of policymakers is critical. This Guide discusses the rationale for economic incentives, why autogas makes sense, gives examples of successful incentive programs in a variety of countries, and underscores the need for sustainable policies that encourage vehicle manufacturers and consumers to take advantage of the unique benefits of autogas. | |

Motor vehicle pollution has severe adverse health impacts on the community,especially for people living in urban areas or in locations close to busy roads.The resultant health care andlost productivity costs are very high,especially where there are large numbers of diesel vehicles.
For many countries,the net health costs of vehicle pollution have been estimated to exceed 2 per cent of national GDP.
The early adoption of rigorously implemented transport fuel policies,which lead to a strong uptake of cleaner gaseous fuels,can play a very signi .cant role in reducing air pollution and its consequential harm to the community and the national economy.

HEALTH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Improved health as a result of reduced indoor air pollution is one of the key benefits of using LP Gas, rather than traditional household fuels such as firewood or coal, in a domestic environment. As well as addressing health, this study also discusses co-benefits of a switch to LP Gas such as reduced pressure on natural forests and lower greenhouse gas emissions. | |

Targeting the Switch to a Cleaner Fuel discusses LP Gas from an environmental and land-use perspective. LP Gas produces a much lower environmental impact if considered across the full range of controlled and uncontrolled greenhouse gases, not only over its conventional fuel rivals, but also if compared to so-called CO2 neutral fuels. The Climate Change Kit also contains information on opportunities for LP Gas in emissions trading and CDM markets. | |

FOR LP GAS USE IN RURAL ENERGISATION
These Guidelines serve as a tool to help assess the market for rural energy and to inform planning and policy officials about the role that LP Gas can play in bringing modern energy to those without current access. The benefits for energising rural areas in developing and well as developed countries, are many and real. In developing countries the emphasis is mainly on renewable energy that like other energy sources has benefits and limitations. These Guidelines discuss how LP Gas can deliver energy to rural areas directly, or in partnership with renewable energies such as wind and solar. These Guidelines are a simple start to the potential evolution of energising rural communities. | |

| | THE ROLE OF LP GAS
IN MEETING THE GOALS
OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT This new major study co-sponsored by the World Bank and the WLPGA, assesses the role of LP Gas as a clean and multi-purpose energy, in meeting sustainable development objectives. It is intended to help policymakers and LP Gas industry stakeholders better understand the contribution that LP Gas is making in moving the world into a more sustainable development path and the issues that will need to be addressed to ensure that LP Gas' potential is fully realised. By encouraging access to clean, commercial fuels, it is hoped that the study will help fight poverty in developing countries. | |
