I was delighted to see urban air quality cited as a top policy priority for the London Mayor Sadiq Khan and UKLPG will be actively involved in the forthcoming consultation to address the issue of poor air quality in London. LPG autogas has an important and potentially transformational role to play in improving air quality in the capital and other urban areas.
On average, around 80% of NOx emissions in areas where the UK is exceeding NO2 limits are due to transport. LPG autogas is cleaner and produces less air pollutants (CO2, NOx & PM) than all other traditional transport fuels.
There are three key ways rapid deployment of LPG can significantly improve urban air quality:
Birmingham is one city leading the way in this area, pioneering the taxi conversion solution with the support of the DfT through its NOx Reduction Champion project. I hope to see other cities follow this lead, especially in London where the challenges are perhaps most acute and the successes more visible at a national and international level.
