Our ambitious goals
For more than 135 years, UGI has been supplying energy to customers around the world. We have actively participated in the development of our society as we know it today. Today, we offer low-carbon alternatives to oil and gas to residential and business customers who are not connected to the power grid. But while conventional LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) has a significantly lower carbon footprint than oil, it is not the long-term answer to the climate challenges we face. That is why, together with other LPG companies, we are committed to investing heavily in increasing the production of rLG (renewable liquefied petroleum gas) - a near-zero carbon energy source. These investments will allow us to fully cover the demand for conventional LPG and also transition customers not connected to the gas grid to more sustainable solutions, ensuring that no one is left behind. Each year, we deliver around 2 million tonnes of LPG to our customers in Europe, generating a carbon footprint estimated at 6.5 million tonnes of CO2. Our ambition is to reduce our impact by more than 3.25 million tonnes by 2030.
Our future will be sustainable, affordable and comfortable.

Sustainable product
Our ambition is to reduce the carbon footprint of our energy products by 50 per cent from current (2020) emission levels. We intend to do this by 2030. At the same time, we are laying the foundations for a 100 per cent carbon-neutral future, which we want to achieve by 2050 at the latest.
Affordability
As renewable LPG reuses much of the existing traditional LPG supply, distribution and storage chain, relatively little investment is required. This means that renewable LPG will be affordable as well as readily available. Our long-term goal is to offer our customers a carbon-neutral alternative to the LPG used today. At the same time, we - both today and in the future - can contribute with a renewable alternative dedicated to companies that currently use more carbon-intensive solutions.
Convenience
Renewable LPG is a ready-to-use solution, meaning that existing boilers and heating equipment can be reused, avoiding new investment and potential disruption to installations. In addition, it is possible to mix renewable LPG with conventional LPG, enabling a smooth transition to the decarbonisation of home heating across Europe.
