What is The Difference Between Gas and Propane?
Perhaps you know, but natural gas is a fossil fuel in a
gaseous state that travels through pipes to people’s homes for use as a fuel
for cooking, heating and water heating. Propane is a different fuel from
natural gas, though the two are closely related. So what’s the difference
between these two fossil fuel cousins?
Propane, by nature a component of natural gas, is separated
out during the refining process to become a more powerful fuel.
Which Fuel is More Powerful?
Which
fuel source is more powerful, natural gas or propane? The answer is propane.
The energy content of most fuels is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs),
so if you compare the BTU content of the exact same quantities of both fuels,
it gives an accurate comparison of energy content. One cubic foot (ft3) of
natural gas contains 1,030 BTUs and one cubic foot of propane gas contains
2,516 BTUs, giving propane about twice the energy content of natural gas.
