<br>
I hope that someone can provide an answer to this question:<br>
<br>
The situation: A fuel for cooking needs to be transported to communities in somewhat remote locations. There are roads that at least allow a pickup truck to go in and out year-round. The people have access to locally sources woody biomass fuel, but are interested in having some better stoves with processed fuels. In particular, they are considering LPG in standard bottles/tanks that are brought in full, and empties are taken back. They are also considering pellets that are in typical 40 pound (~18 kg) bags, with local sales in smaller quanties. Consider initially that the pellets are made in the same location where the LPG bottles are refilled. (We can consider different distances of transport later, if of interest). (also, there will be some differences if different sizes of LPG bottles or pellets in super-sacks are used, but that is not of much interest in this initial discussion.)<br>
<br>
The question: How much energy can be transported in each delivery trip, and which becomes the most economical -- or are they about the same? The LPG has more energy per kg of fuel, but must be transported in metal containers that are cylindrircal and occupy much space. The pelelts are in bags that can be stacked (such as on a pallet of pellets).<br>
<br>
Boilse down to: LPG in bottles vs pellets in sacks.<br>
<br>
My thanks to everyone who contributes to answering this question.<br>
