| Whether it is imported or domestically produced, LPG comes to us via a complicated and multi-step array of distribution channels. On the demand side, there are close to 27 million ordinary households, around 57% of all households nationwide, that use LPG (including simplified gas) as clean energy, as well as the majority of taxis, and a wide variety of businesses and industries that use utility gas or commercial gas supplies. |

LPG cars are used widely, mainly as taxis, because of their low fuel costs. In recent years, attention has focused on reducing exhaust gas emissions, and LPG cars have become increasingly prevalent, especially in urban areas, as clean energy vehicles providing an alternative to diesel-run vehicles in particular. (Diesel is used mostly by trucks.)
They are noted not only for being convenient and economical, but also for being environmentally friendly, and have been recognized as “green” products under the Law on Promoting Green Purchasing.
LPG vehicles were first recognized under the Law on Promoting Green Purchasing in 2002, thereby cementing their status as a green car.

When electrolysis is performed on water, it is separated into hydrogen and oxygen, but in the reverse, this action creates a fuel cell that runs on LPG. In this system, when hydrogen and oxygen are combined in a chemical reaction, electricity and water are produced.
All that is disposed of in this process of power generation is hot water, and so no noise is produced. Of course, this process is environmentally friendly, but it also facilitates highly efficient utilization of energy, as the waste heat can be used for heating or for hot water. The government too is actively looking into this system as a groundbreaking way of overcoming the 21st century issues of global warming and energy conservation.
