So Cal Propane Llc

In the US, coal produces roughly 37% of the total volume of electricity generated, but each year, more power plants convert to natural gas. In fact, according to the US government, by 2040 most electricity will be produced by natural gas power plants.

Did you realize that propane can be used as an effective refrigerant gas? That's because it has a very low boiling point, -44 degrees F. When substances convert from a liquid to a gaseous state, they absorb heat -- producing cooling benefits.

Because propane is heavier than natural gas, it provides more energy per unit volume than natural gas. Propane provides 2500 BTUs of heat for the same volume of natural gas that produces only 1000 BTUs.

Natural gas forms in pockets underground and in its unrefined form, it exists in a gaseous state. It’s extracted and refined in a gaseous state, but it can be stored in either gas or liquid form, which is called LNG or liquefied natural gas.

If you are looking for an efficient fuel, then propane is a great option. Propane both costs less and works harder than other comparable energy sources. In addition, propane burns hotter and more evenly than many other fuels.

Did you know that propane is produced from both natural gas processing and crude oil refining? Interestingly, nearly 97 percent of the propane used in the United States is produced in North America.

Where exactly does propane come from? Propane is produced during the refining process of crude oil and natural gas. Capturing the propane during this process and reusing it as an efficient clean burning fuel helps to reduce the environmental impacts of energy.

Can you name the country that first commercialized the use of natural gas? If you guessed Great Britain, then you’re right! The British were the first to use natural gas for lighting houses and streetlights at around 1785.

When it comes to huge home repairs, the fewer you have to deal with the better. Luckily, propane powered water heaters generally last around six years longer than their electronic counterparts.

Propane is considered to be an environmentally friendly or “green” fuel. Why? During storage and before combustion, it’s non-toxic. When it burns, it doesn’t generate greenhouse gases, contribute to pollution, or harm the environment.

Propane is used around the world as a source for engine fuel. The benefits of propane include its extraordinary safety, and the fact that propane doesn't put nearly the same wear and tear on engines as other fuels.

There are many benefits to using propane in your home. A more efficient propane furnace, water heater, or range will save you money while helping the environment at the same time.
