1. Market Trend

 ○ LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) steel cylinder gas in the major form of cooking gas used in the country. However; with rapid growth of establishment in the country, innovation also follows. Pipe-in gas is being introduced in the country mostly by developers.

 ○ Safe supply of LPG, convenience and reliability, cost and space savings, environment friendly and variety of application are the some of the benefits and advantages cited by the developer in using pipe-in LPG. It minimized the gas presence in the area. With centralized gas distribution system, gas is made available to all establishments in its vapour form that eliminates the usage of liquid gas inside the establishment particularly in residential and restaurant that makes it safer to use. It is also more convenient because the establishment will never run out of gas and there is no need to buy a cylinder gas in the middle of cooking preparation. Pipe-in gas is also said to help reduce the cost of gas consumption unlike with LPG gas because the consumer will also pay for what they consumed in pipe-in gas based on their monthly meter whereas in LPG cylinder, there are some unused gas left in the cylinder. It is also convenient for space savings. It is more environmentally friendly because of its less carbon dioxide that the other source of gasses. Pipe-in gas is also not limited for cooking but it can be used such as LPG-fueled boiler system, LPG-fueled air conditioning and heating system, LPG primary or back-up power generation among other usage are some of the key factor that encourage the developer to promote pipe-in gas.

 ○ Contractor and supplier of gas for centralized distribution are different entities. Bonifacio Gas Corporation does not do the installation of the pipeline rather they have an accredited contractor to install the pipeline for gas while Petron have their own contractor for installation of pipeline but they different dealers that caters their gas to different location and it depends on the dealer if they would want to get their own contractor or have it done by another contractor.
