It is a hydrocarbon (C3H8) and is sometimes referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, LP-gas, or LPG. Produced from both natural gas processing and crude-oil refining, propane is a clean, versatile energy source that is non-toxic and colorless. Typically, propane is virtually odorless—for safety, an identifying odor is added so the gas can be readily detected. Used by more than 12.6 million US households for heating and other purposes, propane is a leading source of fuel for many Americans. This is great for the American economy because over 95% of the propane used in the U.S. is made in North America. BENEFITS OF PROPANE Energy Independence: 90% of the propane sold in the U.S. is produced domestically. All Foster Fuels propane is processed in one of our Virginia facilities. Environmental Friendliness: Propane is listed as an alternative clean fuel by the 1990 Clean Air Act. With low carbon monoxide, soot, and hydrocarbon emissions, propane is also safer to use, store, and transport. Economy: Propane is an economical choice for a number of applications. At home, an investment in a propane-burning furnace can typically be expected to last 5–10 years longer than a conventional unit. A Rinnai tankless water heater’s life expectancy is around 20 years! Home Delivery: When you place a propane gas order with Foster Fuels, our friendly propane retailers deliver it right to your home—you can be prepared without ever leaving the house! Install Anywhere: Unlike natural gas, which requires a nearby gas pipeline, propane can be installed anywhere you need dependable heat. Dependability: Because propane gas is kept on site, it will not be affected by regional pipeline interruptions or electrical grid outages.
