Costa Rica looking to expand LPG use
Studies are scheduled to begin by year-end into the potential for expanding the use of LPG in Costa Rica as part of the country's decarbonization push.
For this purpose, state-owned fuel company Recope has a direct contracting process underway to select a consultant to prepare a roadmap for niche uses, specifically cargo transport and industrial heat applications.
The work will take 140 days and includes an analysis of the current infrastructure and supply chain situation for LPG, and a review of the current fleet of light and heavy cargo transport vehicles and ovens and boilers which use bunker as fuel.
The consultant also will conduct a technical and economic evaluation of LPG conversion options.
The goal is for 20% of the cargo fleet and all industrial heat applications that cannot migrate to renewable energy sources should be running on LPG by 2030.
Recope figures show that LPG sales this January-August totaled 242Ml, up 14% year-on-year.
The fuel’s use in the country had been growing 6% annually until the onset of COVID-19.
