What Is Propane

Propane, also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas that burns cleaner than other fossil fuels because it emits no sulfur dioxide or particulate. It is also clean and efficient and one of the nation’s most versatile energy sources.

Propane is ideal for residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural use. It is a by-product of natural gas and crude oil refining. Since propane is odorless, an odorant is added so that leaks can be easily detected.

Approximately 88% of the propane that we use is produced domestically thus helping reduce our dependency on overseas energy sources. An extensive infrastructure of pipeline, rail, storage facilities and retail outlets assures that propane can be delivered whenever it is needed.
