Propane (C3H8) is a colorless, odorless (in pure form), flammable hydrocarbon gas with a faint petroleum-like smell when odorized. It belongs to the alkane series and is a major component of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Propane is widely used as a fuel for heating, cooking, industrial processes, and as a feedstock in petrochemical production. Due to its portability, clean combustion, and high energy content, propane is a versatile energy source in both residential and commercial applications.

Propane is widely used as a heating and cooking fuel in homes, RVs, and outdoor grills. It provides clean, efficient combustion and is especially useful in off-grid locations.
Used as a fuel for industrial furnaces, cutting torches, and other heat-generating equipment. Also employed in asphalt heating, metal processing, and brick kilns.
Used as an alternative vehicle fuel (LPG/autogas) in propane-powered forklifts, buses, and fleet vehicles due to its low emissions.
Acts as a raw material in the production of ethylene, propylene, and other valuable petrochemical products.
