Environment and Energy Surcharge
The manufacture of industrial gases is highly energy intensive. Very large quantities of electricity are required to run air separation plants that produce oxygen, nitrogen and argon. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen are both produced from natural gas. Propane is produced by refining crude oil.
BOC environment and energy surcharge for industrial cylinder gases effective 1 October 2008 are: All gases except propane Standard cylinders - £0.47 per cylinder and pro rata for manifolded packs Propane The environment and energy surcharge on propane is reviewed monthly in line with movements in the Argus North Sea Index. Monthly Propane Surcharge
The following leaflets cover the impact of rising global energy prices on the manufacture and distribution of industrial gases and what BOC is doing to minimise these effects
