For cooking, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is one of the most commonly used fuels in India and many other countries. LPG being a clean fuel burns with no soot and has high calorific value than kerosene and wood. In India, as the living standard of the people is improving the number of LPG consumers is also increasing. The total domestic consumption of LPG in India is almost comparable with other petroleum products used in industrial applications. The thermal efficiency of the current LPG cooking stoves available in the Indian market are in the range of (60-65) % and at the same time the CO and NOX emissions levels are above the world health organization standards. Considering the energy conservation, environment issues and increase in demand of LPG in the near future. The present review paper summarizes the recent modification in the design of free flame conventional LPG burner by using porous materials and highlights its potential.
