What is Propane?
Propane is a colorless, odorless gas that is compressed and stored as a liquid. It’s a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining. Known for its versatility and efficiency, propane is widely used in residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications. It’s a clean-burning fuel, producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to other fossil fuels, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Propane is also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and is easily transportable in liquid form, making it accessible and convenient for various uses.
