LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. At normal temperature and pressure, LPG is gaseous. It changes to liquid when subjected to modest pressure or cooling. In Liquid form the tank pressure is about twice the pressure in a normal truck tyre, which means it is very safe when properly handled.
LPG reaches the domestic consumer in cylinders under relatively low pressures. It is commonly used as fuel for gas cooktops, gas barbecue grills and ovens, for gas fireplaces, and in portable heaters.
As a low-carbon, low-polluting fuel, LPG is recognised by governments around the world for its contribution towards improved indoor and outdoor air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the carbon footprint of LPG is 20% lower than that of heating oil and 50% lower than coal.

We commenced our LPG business in Kwara State, to address a gap in the North Central region. We noticed that the LPG businesses were concentrated in Lagos, SW and Eastern parts and hence took on the opportunity to bring awareness to the North Central region where very few people were aware of the advantages of LPG. In the villages many were still making use of coal and where not educated about the health benefits of using gas especially as it emits virtually no black carbon and improves the air quality while protecting the environment. Another reason Merciport Gas chose to start in the North Central was due to its disposition to providing employment opportunities across Nigeria, as part of its commitment towards building the Nigeria economy.
Our ultra-modern plant in Kwara State is built to world-class standards and meets to both local and international safety standards. We are located at Ajase Ipo road, Olulade, Ilorin-Kwara State.
