WLPGA Opens Applications for the World LPG Challenge Competition

Traditionally the LPG industry has relied on expertise from within the industry to tackle its challenges. Many of the future challenges the industry will face will demand new thinking from people with fresh, smart minds who are perhaps outside of the LPG industry. The success of the first World LPG Challenge competition in 2019 resulted in a decision by the WLPGA to run the challenge as an annual event as part of LPG Week.

The World LPG Challenge 2021 is sponsored by Anova, PERC and Suburban Propane, and will continue to aim to encourage the startup community to bring innovative solutions to help solve some of the biggest challenges facing the LPG industry. The competition will be hosted during LPG Week on Dec. 8, 2021. 

The topic for the 2021 competition focuses on seeking innovating measures to improve the safety of operations throughout the downstream LPG value chain, for both the packed (cylinders) and bulk sectors. 

• What innovating measures can be created for the industry to improve safety when transporting LPG through the distribution channel to the end user?
• How can LPG cylinders be better handled and distributed to reduce safety incidents?
• What can be done to improve safety when transporting bulk LPG from the storage tank to bulk road tankers and railcars, to the customers facilities?

Visit the World LPG Challenge 2021 · LPG Week website to find out more details and submit an application. 

All finalists will be offered a complimentary pass to LPG Week in Dubai. In addition, the finalists will be provided with a complimentary pop-up booth within the exhibition area. The winners of the challenge will receive a financial prize from a total prize pool in excess of $10,000.
