World LPG Challenge'20

Responsible Energy Future

LPG is a fossil-based fuel but when it is used as a fuel and burnt in the industrial, commercial, agricultural and transport sectors, it produces very low emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels such as diesel, gasoline and fuel oil. How can LPG play a role in a responsible energy future when it carries the fossil tag? What can be done to convince policy makers that using LPG instead of dirty, higher carbon, fuels is actually a major step towards a zero carbon world?

We want to hear your ideas that presents LPG as a solution, rather than a problem, towards a responsible energy future. Ideas that supports the notion that LPG is a valuable energy that contributes towards a zero-carbon world. They might include:

• Arguments for presenting the case for LPG (e.g. an App that provides for carbon tracking and modelling);
• Exciting ideas to link LPG to renewable energy futures (e.g. linking solar powered electricity to produce bio-LPG); Innovative solutions that utilise the digital world to demonstrate the benefits of using LPG (e.g. a website to provide an assessment of what it means in emissions to make a life choice.

There will be many other ideas. We’d like to hear from you.

Why Attend?

Taking up the Challenge is an opportunity for start-up companies to engage with the LPG industry and present new solutions to the presented challenge. All the finalists will be offered a complimentary pass to LPG Week in Dubai including access to the World LPG Forum. In addition the finalists will be provided with a complimentary pop-up booth within the exhibition hall. The winners of the World LPG Challenge will receive a financial prize from a total prize pool in excess of $20,000.

Who Should Attend?

Members of the global start-up community, and other stakeholders who are outside of the LPG industry, with innovative solutions to the challenge topic.

The international start-up community were asked to address the following challenge:

‘As technologies continue to advance, and new training and education solutions emerge, there will be opportunities for the LPG industry to launch new safety solutions and new safety training opportunities supported by a refreshed safety culture. Enter the World LPG Challenge ’19 and present your ideas on how the LPG industry can achieve this!’

Three finalists were selected by the international steering committee from the numerous submissions received and they were asked to pitch off against each other during the World LPG Forum in Amsterdam during September 2019. All three finalists took the opportunity after the pitch off to engage with delegates at the World LPG Forum to have deeper discussions about their initiatives to explore new opportunities within the industry.
