The liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) market in Poland has played a pivotal role in the energy sector for many years, offering an alternative energy source to off-grid households, industry, and agricultural enterprises. Despite dynamic geopolitical changes, LPG remains a stable and competitive fuel, particularly in the context of the ongoing energy transition. The growing importance of sustainable solutions and the need to diversify supply underscore the new challenges facing the industry – challenges that market leaders like GASPOL are actively addressing.
Domestic heating is the second-largest segment of the Polish LPG market (after road transport). It accounts for 9.4% of total consumption and continues to grow, partly due to the move away from coal-fired heating systems. Thanks to government grant programs, many buildings have undergone thermal modernization. However, there are still almost 1.5 million low-quality solid-fuel heating systems in operation across Poland, creating significant market opportunities. Growth is also apparent in the agricultural sector and in industry, where demand is rising for bio-propane - a renewable fuel sourced from organic waste.
Supply Security
As one of Poland’s leading LPG providers, GASPOL has spent over three decades building a solid foundation of supply stability and security.
The company sources its liquefied gas from Western suppliers, including the United States, Norway, Sweden, France, and Italy. Its extensive infrastructure – comprising a sea terminal in Gdańsk, rail terminals in Małaszewicze and Sędziszów and a network of LPG bottling plants – enables flexible and efficient delivery of energy to customers nationwide. In addition, the company’s broad network of LPG cylinder sales points and its own tanker fleet ensure uninterrupted product availability for both households and businesses.
Bio LPG and Hybrid Technologies – The Future of the Industry
The energy transition calls for innovative solutions, and GASPOL is actively shaping new directions for growth. The company was the first in Poland to introduce bio LPG - a renewable alternative to traditional liquefied gas that can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90%. This addresses the growing needs of the transport and industrial sectors by offering a cleaner option compared to fossil fuels. Purchasing certified bio LPG also allows for documenting the sustainability of products and services, providing not only marketing advantages but, above all, a competitive edge and access to new markets.
GASPOL also offers hybrid systems that combine LPG with heat pumps and photovoltaics - an attractive solution for efficient heating, particularly in homes not connected to the grid. These systems provide both stability and energy security, eliminating dependence on a single heating source or energy supplier.
GASPOL at the European Liquid Gas Congress in Katowice
Innovation and LPG’s role in Europe’s energy future are the central themes of the European Liquid Gas Congress, of which GASPOL is one of the main sponsors. The company emphasizes that its participation is not only a mark of prestige but also a commitment to actively support the energy transition:
As the leading LPG market player in Poland and part of SHV Energy – a global leader in advanced energy solutions—we are proud to take part in an event that shapes the future of our industry – says Ewa Gawryś-Osińska, CEO of GASPOL and adds – Key sector changes such as new import routes and the development of bio LPG and hybrid systems, will define the industry’s future and require intensive cooperation at the European level.
A New Era for LPG in Poland
Stable supply, the development of low-emission alternatives, and the implementation of modern energy solutions are shaping the future of the sector. GASPOL is adapting to global trends and remains the market leader, offering solutions that play a crucial role in Poland’s energy transition
