How much do you know about propane? Propane is one of the most versatile and environmentally-friendly fuel sources in the world, it’s also very cost effective! Propane was discovered in 1857 by French chemist Marcellin Berthelot, and was first identified as a volatile component in gasoline by Walter O. Snelling in 1910. Snelling had discovered a way to bottle evaporated gases and so this was used to heat homes, provide light, and cut metal.
Propane is natural gas and is commonly used as a fuel for barbecue grills and portable stoves. Did you know propane is one of a group of liquified petroleum gases, with the others including butane, propylene, butadiene, butylene, and isobutylene?
