The hydrocarbon gas propane is commonly used as a fuel in heating, cooking, hot water, and vehicles, as it is flammable and pressurized
Propane |
Propane is a flammable hydrocarbon gas that
is pressurized and commonly used as a fuel in heating, cooling, hot water, and
vehicles. The propane is divided into two sections: end-user industry and
geography. The market is divided into residential, commercial, transportation,
industrial, and other end-user industries. The report also includes market size
and forecasts for the propane in 15 countries spanning major regions. Market
sizing and forecasting have been done on the basis of volume for each segment
(kiloton).
Propane
is primarily used in homes in rural areas without natural gas service,
as well as in mobile homes. Millions of homes rely on propane to meet some of
their energy needs. In the United States, approximately five million households
rely on propane as their primary heating source, and approximately one-fifth of
mobile homes rely on propane for heating.
What is the purpose of propane?
Propane
is commonly used for space and water heating, cooking, and as a fuel for engine
applications such as forklifts, farm irrigation engines, fleet vehicles, and
buses; however, new technology developments are rapidly expanding its
applications. When propane is used as a vehicle fuel, it is referred to as
propane autogas.
Is propane present in natural gas?
Natural
gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon that is odorless, colorless, flammable, and
non-toxic. It is a gas mixture, with methane accounting for roughly 70-90
percent of its composition. Other gases in the mixture include propane, butane,
and ethane.
Homes that use propane as their primary energy source have a large propane
tank outside the house that stores propane as a liquid under pressure. Propane
dealers deliver propane to homes in trucks, filling the tanks several times a
year as needed.
