We’re out to make sustainability a way of life. That’s where Futuria Liquid Gas (previously BioLPG) comes in. Join customers like you who’ve already cut their carbon emissions by up to 84%* by switching from oil.
A sustainable twist on LPG
It’s made from a blend of waste, residues and sustainably sourced materials. And it’s a like-for-like replacement for LPG: same performance, lower carbon footprint.
Use it anywhere you’d use standard LPG, but with 32% fewer carbon emissions.** Or 44% if you switch from oil.** We’ve based those emissions savings on the mix of fuel for home customers: 40% Futuria Liquid Gas and 60% standard LPG.
• Ready for anything
Futuria Liquid Gas can power it all – from running hot water to heating swimming pools
• The cook’s favourite
An instant, easily adjusted flame so you always keep the perfect temperature
• Virtually theft-proof
Unlike oil, our energy is virtually impossible to steal. So you can sleep easy.
Fancy cutting your forklift fleet’s CO2 emissions by up to 48% vs diesel?** Stacks up nicely. We’ve based those emissions savings on the mix of fuel for forklift customers: 40% Futuria Liquid Gas and 60% standard LPG.

The science of sustainability
Futuria Liquid Gas used to be known as BioLPG, because it comes from the biodiesel production process. This is a simple overview of the production process:
Step 1
It all starts with a ‘feedstock’ of waste oils and fats. It needs a series of treatments to clear out contaminants.
Step 2
The fuel mix still contains oxygen, which need to be removed. A process called‘ hydrogenolysis’ takes care of that, using hydrogen atoms.
Step 3
During refining, ‘off gases’ are captured. They might sound like something we'd want to get rid of, but they’re the exact opposite.
Step 4
For every tonne of biodiesel produced, 50kg of Futuria Liquid Gas is generated from off gases.
Step 5
A final round of purifying, and Futuria Liquid Gas is ready to go to businesses and homes. The best part: it’s chemically identical to traditional LPG, so while carbon emissions come down, performance stays at 100%.

Based on our 40/60 Futuria Liquid Gas (previously BioLPG) Tariff : through a method called mass balancing, we ensure that for each Kg of LPG fuel you purchase from Calor an equal amount of renewable Futuria Liquid Gas energy is purchased and distributed amongst our customers in its place. By opting for a Futuria Liquid Gas tariff, you’re buying into a more sustainable future and contributing to reducing the carbon emissions from the use of LPG.
