With a goal of providing LPG to 1,500,000 households by 2020, Myanmar’s LPG market is set to grow at a booming rate. From efforts to privatize the industry and encourage more competition by the issuing of licenses, to the leasing out of the only commissioned seaborne import terminal (at Thanlyin), the government of Myanmar is driving LPG as the alternative fuel to reduce reliance on electricity and firewood for Myanmar’s energy needs.
The long-awaited potential of the Myanmar LPG market has taken a major step closer to reality – local players and foreign suppliers of fuel, equipment and expertise should now be taking the market opportunity in Myanmar very seriously.
Join us for WLPGA’s MYANMAR SUMMIT 2018, where we will be hosting the major stakeholders in Myanmar to provide a catalyst for further market expansion.
This training course will cover best practices in LPG operational excellence including a focus on product, safety, training and management of LPG facilities. Delegates will be able to understand the fundamentals of different LPG equipment and design processes for their LPG operations that optimizes safety and ensure that operators are able to manage refilling through to distribution. This training will also look at the how operators use safety as a principal marketing tool for business development and why all operators in the industry have an incentive to ensure that the entire industry remains safe for all players.
Worldwide, over 4 million people die every year from indoor air pollution associated with cooking with solid fuels and biomass. This entirely preventable problem can be alleviated with the use of LPG and the WLPGA has embarked on a program to improve access to LPG throughout the developing world.
