LPG is a hydrocarbon mixture in either the liquid or gaseous state where the main components consists of

propane - C₃H₈
propylene (propene) - C₃H₈
isobutane - C₄H₁₀
n-butane - C₄H₁₀
butylene (butene) - C₄H₈

Liquefied Petroleum gas - LPG - is gaseous under normal atmospheric conditions, but liquefied by cooling and/or compression.

LPG is used as industrial fuel for domestic and commercial purposes like town gas and autogas. LPG is also used as feedstock in chemicals plant processes.
