LPG, a versatile fuel supporting local industries
LPG, A VERSATILE FUEL SUPPORTING LOCAL INDUSTRIES
LPG has the ability to support multiple innovative applications across different industries.
Furniture craftsmen in the bustling marketplaces of Marrakesh, Morocco use LPG flames to create metal furniture pieces. The craftsmen aspire to use LPG mainly because LPG flames can be precisely controlled to burn at different temperatures, which in turn helps soften metals that bend at different temperatures. Because of this versatility, they can build furniture faster and with more beautiful craftsmanship for their customers. In addition, the LPG used is odourless, in contrast to fuels used in the past that produced harmful and polluting smoke.
The LPG used by the Moroccan craftsmen has not only boosted their incomes and livelihoods, but also made their environment cleaner by not emitting harmful fumes. Because of the benefits generated, using LPG as a fuel source supports local enterprise development in Morocco’s craft industry.
“LPG gives me the capability to complete a lot more work and makes many things possible.”
