The document discusses the value of the stationary energy liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) industry in Australia. It notes that Gas Energy Australia members supply almost 1 million Australian households and businesses with LPG. Members have over $4 billion invested in infrastructure like ports, storage facilities, trucks and over 7 million gas cylinders. The industry employs over 1,400 people directly and over 1,200 contractors. Using LPG for hot water can save consumers almost $1,000 over a water heater's lifespan compared to electric storage hot water. The LPG industry thus provides significant economic and employment benefits across Australia while offering consumers a competitively priced energy option.

Mining is an energy-intensive industry, and energy is an
essential operational consideration. Energy access is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive in many regions of the world, with global energy prices leaping by 260% since 2000. Falling grades require more energy to extract each tonne of mineral. Miners are grappling with these increasing costs while commodity prices tighten, resulting in ever-narrowing operating margins.

Green energy sourcing is gaining traction in energy markets throughout Europe, helping commercial and industrial consumers to reduce their carbon footprints and enabling financing for project developers. The main options for RES sourcing (self-generation, PPAs and green energy products based on GOs) are increasingly known to market participants. But there are several recent regulatory and market developments that heavily impact the economics, the quality and the availability of these RES sourcing options. Decreasing costs of RES and increasing retail prices as well as more competitive RES support schemes throughout Europe are improving the economics of RES sourcing. At the same time, regulatory changes being discussed on EU level regarding self-consumption and the GO system will impact the availability, the quality and the cost of RES sourcing options. The webinar discusses these recent market and regulatory trends and assesses their potential impact on the RES sourcing market.

Slides for "Closing the Loop to Advance a New Economy". With the take-make-waste linear model no longer viable, companies are actively pursuing alternative models such as the circular economy, which has captured the imagination of the private sector as a viable approach for decoupling economic growth from resource constraints. The circular economy, an industrial model that is restorative or regenerative by design and intent, aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest utility at all times, and represents an opportunity worth in excess of $1 trillion for the global economy. In this session, we will explore how companies can leverage circular economy principles and best practices to help eliminate waste throughout the value chain and improve the bottom line.

The Stationary Energy LPG Industry - Our Value to Australia Final Dec 14 copy
1. Gas EnergyAustralia
The Stationary Energy
LPG Industry – Our
Value to Australia
Building a more secure energy future through
increased use of gaseous fuels
2. Our Missionis
“... improve the nation’s energy security and environment and
reduce energy costs by maximising the benefits of gaseous fuels
to the community...”
About Us
Gas Energy Australia was established on 15 October 2012 – as the national peak body that consolidates the
advocacy, policy and technical development and communications profile of the downstream gaseous fuels
industry, incorporating Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) - in Australia.
Gas Energy Australia’s goal is to provide a united industry voice to stakeholders (i.e. governments, state
authorities and the community) on the use of gaseous fuels in Australia. Gas Energy Australia’s interests
incorporate all aspects ofthe downstream gaseous fuels industry, including producers, refiners, distributors,
transporters, retailers,vehiclemanufacturers, equipmentmanufacturers andsuppliers,installers,educators
and consultants.
The Associationisfocused on achievingenergy security andeconomic prosperity in alowercarboneconomy
by advocating the value and benefits of gaseous fuels. Gas Energy Australia’s stakeholder engagement is
supported by progressive policy development based on sound research, analysis and expert commentary,
the ongoing development of national standards and innovative products and technology, proactive media
engagement, and the development of the industry’s specialist workforce.
Our Industry
The gaseous fuels industry is extremely diversified and competitive. With its availability and diverse
applications, the industry is equipped to immediately contribute to a sustainable energy solution anywhere
and anytime.
As an alternative fuel source, gaseous fuel is playing an important role in shaping Australia’s future energy
policy and lowering our carbon footprint. Gaseous fuels are a significant contributor to the Australian
economy both in exports and providing access to an extremely transportable low carbon energy source for
Australians everywhere. With the support of government, industry and consumers, gaseous fuels can play a
pivotal role in establishing a more sustainable energy solution for Australia.
2 The Stationary Energy LPG Industry – Our Value to Australia
3. Our Customers
MillionsofAustralianscurrentlyusegaseousfuelseverydayacrosshundredsofapplications.Ourcustomers
enjoy the multiple uses of gas for private, commercial and industrial applications, transportation, farming,
power generation, hot water, cooking, space heating and outdoor recreation. Gaseous fuels can beused
anywhere and anytime, without large investments in infrastructure.
Our Structure
Gas Energy Australia is a not-for-profit organisation governed by a Constitution and Board of Directors who
are approved annually by our Advisory Council Members. Industry Task Forces, Advisory Council Working
Groups and TechnicalCommittees are established byour members and associates inresponse to policy and
technical development initiatives - supported bya Secretariat based in Canberra.
Building a more secure energy future through
increased use of gaseous fuels
With greater use of gaseous fuels there are significant flow-on benefits to the Australian economy in terms
ofreducedgreenhousegasemissions,lowerenergycostsforhouseholdsandbusinesses,lowerenergycosts
for heavy vehicle operators, and greater insulation of the Australian economy against future oil price shocks
and growing dependency on fuel imports.

About This Report
Gas Energy Australia (GEA), on behalf of its members and associates, has published this report to
outline the value of the stationary energy Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) industry in terms of its:
customers;
people;
infrastructure; and
emissions reductions and cost savings performance.
The Association’s Secretariat has worked closely with its members and associates through the
Association’s Stationary Energy LPG Task Force to design and conduct a survey of GEA members;;
Cootes Transport, Elgas, Kleenheat Gas, Origin and Supagas, to collect the data on which this report is
largely based. The Secretariat subsequently collated the results of the member survey and developed
this report for publication.
Much of the information contained in this report has never before been collated or published. In terms
of infrastructure, customers and people, this report covers only data reported by GEA members. It does
not cover privately owned cylinders and much of the recreational sector. The true size of the industry is
likely to be significantly larger than the conservative figures represented in this report.
The GEA member survey data in this report has been supplemented with research undertaken by the
consulting firm pitt&sherry, which compares the cost and greenhouse gas emissions performance of
different types of water heaters. This research estimates the emissions abatement associated with
LPG in comparison with other water heater energy types such as electric resistance. It has also been
supplemented by data contained in the 2013 GEA LPG Supply and Demand Study, which was
prepared for the Association by ACIL Allen Consulting.
In relation to gas bottle numbers, information in this report refers only to gas bottles held by GEA
members and associates and the 4.4 million exchange cylinders known to the Secretariat. Gas bottles
privately held (and their value) are not included, the numbers of which are believed to be significant.
This report provides a “snapshot” of the value that the GEA members’ stationary energy LPG sector
represents to Australia and its people.

“…. LPG is a competitively priced low emission energy source for
households”
Instantaneous LPG hot water saves consumers almost $1,000 dollars over the life span of their water
heater, compared with electric storage hot water
The figure below shows comparative (15 year) lifetime net present cost of different water heater types
used by medium size households in Australia. These estimates include the purchase and installation cost
of each type of water heater and each type’s net present operating cost over its life.

“…. LPG offers significant emissions savings compared to
electricity”
The average instantaneous LPG hot water heater emits only 12.9 tonnes of carbon over a 15 year life
cycle – generating an emissions saving of 39 tonnes compared to an electric storage hot water heater
The average instantaneous LPG hot water heater saves 11.4 tonnes of emissions compared with a solar
electric water heater – a saving of almost 50%

Our value statement
“…. LPG offers a competitive source of greenhouse gas abatement”
Instantaneous and LPG storage water heaters offer abatement costs competitive to other alternatives to
electric hot water systems.
The figure below shows the comparative (15 year) lifetime cost of abatement resulting when continuous
tariff electric storage water heaters, used by medium size households in Australia’s eight capital cities,
are replaced by low emission water heaters. Electric storage water heaters are used as the cost of
abatement benchmark because they are the water heaters that produce the most greenhouse gas
emissions yet are still used by about half of all Australian households.
