What is Propane?

Propane is a versatile, multi-purpose fuel that is highly portable, clean burning and non-toxic. In Canada, supply is abundant and an expansive infrastructure exists to make it readily available and competitively priced. It is a by-product of natural gas processing and crude oil refining. It is extracted and used as a gas, but stored and transported as a liquid under pressure.

Propane is often called a liquefied petroleum gas (LP Gas or LPG), a term widely used to describe a family of light hydrocarbons called natural gas liquids (NGL). Other familiar members of the NGL family include butane and ethane.
