Micron Aerosols is joining a growing list of manufacturers proving that cleaner production isn't just possible — it's good business.
According to a recent article from Environment+Energy Leader, the specialty chemical and aerosol producer just teamed up with Supergas to overhaul its fuel system, swapping out older, higher-emission fuels like diesel for industrial liquified petroleum gas (LPG) bullets.
It's a clear step toward modernizing operations and cutting back on emissions, especially as rising energy costs, tighter regulations, and growing pressure to go greener push more companies to rethink the way they power their processes.
"Innovation isn't just about product quality — it's about how responsibly we manufacture," said Micron Aerosols Director Krishna Maniyar, per E+E Leader. "Transitioning to LPG strengthens our energy security and environmental commitments."
The change comes at a crucial time. The global specialty chemicals market is expected to hit $900 billion by 2030, but manufacturers are already feeling the pressure.
Raw material costs are climbing, environmental rules are getting tighter, and margins are getting thinner. For companies like Micron, the type of fuel they use is not just a box to check; instead, it is becoming a real factor in staying competitive and above board.
By switching to LPG, Micron is tapping into a fuel source that offers multiple advantages.
For one, LPG provides a steady, reliable fuel supply that cuts down on production hiccups and downtime. It's also a big win for safety — automated, fire-safe tech lowers the risk on the factory floor.
And with greater storage capacity, the setup isn't just about today's needs — it's built to scale, giving Micron room to grow without losing efficiency.
"We don't just provide fuel—we help industries transition toward safe, sustainable energy models," a Supergas spokesperson added.

Moves like Micron's reflect a much larger industry trend. Around the world, companies are investing in new technologies, from solar-powered factories to AI-optimized energy systems that benefit both their bottom line and the environment.
With this upgrade, Micron Aerosols is showing that responsible manufacturing doesn't have to come at the cost of growth, and that the next generation of industrial innovation may be defined as much by how we produce as by what we produce.
