About Propane

Propane is clean, efficient and reliable, costs less than electricity, and can be transported well beyond natural gas mains. Alternative-fueled vehicle owners chose propane because of its cleanliness and environmentally protective qualities.

Propane is one of the highest BTU fuels available today, and can save homeowners hundreds of dollars a year. Visit the Energy Savings Calculator from the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) to find out how it can save you money.

Unlike fuel oil, gasoline, diesel, and coal, propane is entirely non-toxic and not harmful to the environment. Scientists are working with propane in environmentally-friendly technologies of the future, such as cogeneration, distributed generation, and fuel cells.

Perhaps the most convenient feature of propane is that it is transportable. At normal temperatures and atmospheric pressures, it takes very little energy to convert propane to a liquid, making it easy to deliver to remote locations or bring along on a barbeque trip.
