Petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; in gaseous state, other than natural gas

HS v2022 Code: 271129

About petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons; in gaseous state, other than natural gas

HS code 271129 covers a diverse range of petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, excluding natural gas. These products play a crucial role in various industries, serving as essential raw materials, fuel sources, and energy carriers. The global trade and consumption of these gaseous hydrocarbons are closely tied to the overall energy and petrochemical sectors, making this code a significant component of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the goods covered under HS code 271129 typically involves the extraction, separation, and processing of natural gas liquids and other gaseous hydrocarbon streams. This often includes techniques such as fractionation, distillation, and compression to isolate the desired gaseous components from the raw natural gas or refinery streams.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 271129 include natural gas, crude oil, and other hydrocarbon feedstocks. Additionally, specialized equipment such as compressors, pipelines, and storage facilities are necessary to handle and transport these gaseous products. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in petrochemical processing and energy infrastructure.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 271129 include a wide range of gaseous hydrocarbons, such as propane, butane, ethylene, propylene, and other liquefied petroleum gases (LPG). These products are then consumed by various downstream industries, including 271112 Liquefied propane, 271113 Liquefied butanes, and the broader petrochemical sector, which uses these gases as feedstocks for the production of a diverse range of chemicals and materials.
