What is Propane?

According to Calor Gas, Propane is a form of LPG which comes from natural gas processing and oil refining – the gas is liquified through pressurisation.

With a low boiling point of -42°C, propane isn’t affected by the cold conditions here in the U.K, making it ideal for outdoor use. It is stored in gas bottles or bulk LPG tanks depending on your usage requirements and preferred storage solution.

Propane is widely used for both domestic and commercial appliances. It is typically used for BBQ’s, patio heaters, LPG gas cooking, heating water, and heating your home, as well as operating tools, ovens, or forklift trucks.

What is Butane?

According to Calor Gas, Butane is also a form of LPG. It has a higher boiling point at -2°C, so is better suited to indoor use, and fuelling appliances like portable gas heaters and single-burner cooking stoves.

Like propane, butane takes the form of a gas, so needs to be liquefied for storage. It’s typically stored in smaller canisters; for residential properties, you can store up to 30kg of butane (2 x 15kg gas bottles) indoors.

Butane gas bottles are great for caravanning and camping trips when a portable and reliable gas supply is needed.
