Propane... Clean, Abundant, and Versatile!

As one of the world’s most efficient sources of energy, nearly 60 million Americans use about 18 billion gallons of this remarkable fuel every year. It warms their homes, heats their water, cooks their food, dries their clothes and runs their vehicles economically and efficiently.

Because of propane's ability to become liquid under pressure, it's an energy that can be used virtually anywhere. It is off the natural gas mains and can be used wherever you live. A by-product of natural gas processing and crude oil refining, propane’s supply is plentiful and will continue to be, long into the 21st century. Almost all of our propane is produced domestically.
