There are two sources of LPG, one is separated from natural gas, and another one is by-product from refinery. It is mainly used for household and industrial fuel.
Taiwan domestic LPG market is opened from 1999. There are 4 company including FPCC, CPC, LCY Chemical and Ming-Xing Chemical who supply the domestic market by importing or self-producing LPG.
Out of these 4 companies, our company and CPC are all capable to import full refrigerated (liquefied) propane and butane which can be vaporized and blended with self-producing LPG for the sale in the market.
Other companies only import LPG from time to time depending on international price.
