Boilers, furnaces and stoves and CNG, LPG and biogas distribution

Energy flows from CNG, LPG and biogas distribution to boilers, furnaces and stoves; their prices have moved together.

Boilers, furnaces and stoves (energy) and CNG, LPG and biogas distribution (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 45% of flow · CNG, LPG and biogas distribution → Boilers, furnaces and stoves

LPG cylinders fuel cooking stoves in many homes.

  • 45% of CNG, LPG and biogas distribution's energy goes this way

2. Price link: stove fuel

Cost and price · Weak · Both ways

LPG fuels stoves and heaters where piped gas is absent, including most Indian kitchens. Propane prices swing with oil and gas, but the equipment index does not follow, with monthly moves correlating at -0.03, as stove prices depend on manufacturing costs.

  • -0.03 monthly change correlation
  • -0.07 12-month change correlation
  • -0.19 fitted elasticity
