LPG is mainly used for cooking, lighting, heating, leisure and as a preferred form of energy in the commercial segment. The key issues currently facing the industry are: minimum growth, high capital requirement, rising cost of product and squeezing profitability.enLiquefied petroleum gas industry--Durban.Liquefied petroleum gas industry--Finance.Theses--Business administration.Thesis
