On April 25, tank trucks loaded with 50 tons of liquefied petroleum gas arrived in Myanmar smoothly through the Sino-Myanmar border. This is the first time that Yunnan PetroChina International Enterprise Co., Ltd. (referred to as the State of Yunnan) has exported liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) produced by Yunnan Petrochemical Company to Myanmar, marking the opening of the southwest export channel of LPG for PetroChina.

In recent years, Myanmar’s demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been growing steadily, and its market potential is huge. Yunnan is adjacent to Myanmar, and its location advantage is obvious. In response to China’s “one belt and one road” initiative to meet the needs of Burma’s market and play a synergistic and effective capability, Yunnan’s state affairs actively explore the international market and seek new breakthroughs.
Compared with gasoline and diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has the characteristics of flammability and explosion, and has higher requirements for the transportation and qualification of dangerous chemicals. With the cooperation of Yunnan Petrochemical Corporation, Yunnan has overcome the difficulties of shortage of dangerous chemicals transportation vehicles and lack of experience in dangerous chemicals transportation at border ports, and coordinated with relevant departments to establish temporary inspection sites to help transport vehicles smoothly through customs.

The export of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is another important achievement of Yunnan State Council after successfully exporting steam, diesel and coal products to Southeast Asian markets in 2018. Up to now, Yunnan Petrochemical has exported more than 10,000 tons of refined oil monthly, and 14 export customs ports and channels, which has greatly broadened the energy procurement channels of Myanmar and Laos. Next, the State of Yunnan will gradually expand the export scale of liquefied petroleum gas and establish a stable channel for land exports in southwest China.
