It represents the industry's long commitment to bridging the gap between our energy reliance in the past and our pursuit of cleaner, more efficient energy solutions for the future,” said Joe Armentano, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Paraco Gas Corporation. “Propane serves as that essential bridge.” 

The Propane Education & Research Council, a nonprofit organization, has been at the forefront of promoting propane safety, training, and the development of new propane-powered technologies.
