Propane is one of the nation's most versatile sources of energy and supplies about 4 percent of our total energy needs.
Approximately 90 percent of the United States’ propane supply is produced
domestically, while 70 percent of the remaining supply is imported from Canada
and Mexico. Approximately equal amounts of propane come from the refining of
crude oil and from natural gas processing. Thus, propane is a readily available,
secure energy source whose environmental benefits are widely recognized.
Propane is an approved, alternative clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act, as
well as the National Energy Policy Act of 1992.
Use safe propane gas for heat, range, hot water, pool heaters, dryer, cooking, and barbecue.
