Propane is used for BBQs, off-grid domestic LPG central heating, LPG gas cookers, caravans, plus numerous other residential and commercial applications. In Nigeria, propane use is control by industry regulators.
What makes propane popular with users is what separates it from conventional fuels like gasoline and diesel.
Clean
Propane is an approved clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act. Substituting propane for other fuels such as gasoline and fuel oil is an economical and viable step toward cleaner air. Using propane reduces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and air pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.

Reliable
For millions of Americans every day, propane continues to deliver what is most important to customers choosing their energy: reliability. Even during extreme weather and natural disasters, propane reliably heats and powers homes, businesses, and farms independent of the electric grid.
Abundant
America produces more than enough propane to meet demand. In fact, the U.S. is propane’s leading producer. Propane is an abundant “bridge fuel,” making it a clean-burning alternative to gasoline and diesel that can address energy challenges while long-term renewable technologies are developed.
Affordable
Despite sharp declines in oil prices, domestic propane production is expected to continue to grow rapidly, keeping downward pressure on average propane prices relative to oil prices.
Propane production keeps quality jobs in our country. As of 2018, over 97,000 workers across the U.S. are employed in propane trade, wholesale, and sales. If you’re looking for a job that takes you places and makes an impact for customers, learn more about joining the industry.

Propane has continued to gain popularity as a fuel source due to abundant supplies, low-cost and an environmentally friendly profile compared to other fuels. These benefits in addition to its ease of use have made propane a desirable fuel for home heating, agricultural applications and baseload & backup fuel for industrial thermal processes and electrical power generation, particularly in remote locations lacking access to natural gas pipelines.
Implementing propane fuel for any of these applications requires a specialized understanding LPG system design that takes into consideration the nature of vaporization itself which is inherent to LPG fuel usage along with its myriad of related variables including LPG boil-off rate, ambient storage temperature, the size and fill level of the LPG storage vessel(s) being used, storage tank pressure, the fuel consumption rate of supported equipment, potential safety issues, failure rates (and necessary redundancy), and more.
