### sec.11 Meaning of LPG , fuel gas and hydrogen gas blend
LPG , also called ‘LP gas’ and ‘liquefied petroleum gas’, is a substance that—
is in a gaseous state at standard temperature and pressure; and
is predominately propane, propylene or butane; and
has been processed to be suitable for use by consumers.
Fuel gas is—
LPG; or
processed natural gas; or
hydrogen, or a hydrogen gas blend, used or intended to be used as a fuel to produce heat, light or power; or
another substance prescribed by regulation that is similar to LPG or processed natural gas.
A hydrogen gas blend is processed natural gas and hydrogen that have been blended together.
In this section—
processed natural gas means a substance that—
is in a gaseous state at standard temperature and pressure; and
consists of hydrocarbons that occur naturally and other substances; and
is more than half, by volume, methane; and
has been processed to be suitable for use by consumers of fuel gas.
standard temperature and pressure means an absolute pressure of 101.325kPa at a temperature of 15ºC.
