No Nat Gas? No Problem!
Propane Powers Rural Industrial Buildings
Michigan’s industrial facilities have a new opportunity for heating and electricity. Many rural areas have no access to natural gas infrastructure. Extending pipelines is often too costly or simply not feasible. That’s where propane stands out. Propane is a portable, on-site energy solution that can provide both heat and power for expansive manufacturing, warehouse operations, data centers, etc. Its versatility allows it to support building heat, water heating, electric generation and backup power generation—all without being tied to a utility grid.
COMMERCIAL
BUILDING HEAT
Large commercial buildings across the Midwest without natural gas service use propane heating systems for factories, schools, greenhouses, and warehouses.
WATER HEATING
Tankless water heaters provide on-demand hot water and come in rack systems for redundancy and higher flow rates, while commercial storage tank water heaters offer a heavier-duty version of standard residential units.
GENERATORS / COMBINED HEAT & POWER
Propane-powered standby generators offer advantages over diesel in fuel storage, maintenance, and reliability.
BACKUP POWER GENERATION
A recent U.S. Department of Energy report warns that blackout risk could rise sharply by 2030, making propane power generation a strong, future-proof option.
THE GRID IS FEELING THE STRAIN.
YOUR POWER SYSTEM DOESN'T HAVE TO.
Shelby Performance builds high-performance Ford trucks, and propane
is the key fuel at their Midwest plant.
Grid-Independent Energy
On-site propane storage supports reliable operation and long-term fuel availability, even when the electric grid is strained.
Power That Scales
Propane generation can serve a wide range of needs, from residential backup systems to major commercial and industrial projects.
Lower Emissions Than Diesel
Propane produces fewer emissions than diesel, gasoline, or Mid-west electricity, with no soil or groundwater spill concerns.
One Fuel, Multiple Systems
Propane can power generators, heating equipment, and water systems from one fuel source, helping reduce electrical demand and simplify energy use.
Propane: Fueling Michigan
Across Michigan, propane is helping power a wide range of industries, from farms and ports to transportation fleets and landscaping equipment. For many businesses, propane offers a practical energy source that can be used right now across daily operations. Propane’s versatility is one of its biggest strengths– the examples below show just a few of the ways propane is supporting industry across the state.
IRRIGATION ENGINES
Propane-powered irrigation engines can produce up to 18% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline and diesel options.
AUTOGAS
Autogas fuels school buses, shuttle buses, delivery trucks, and work fleets with a practical, lower-emission option.
LAWNMOWERS
Propane-powered lawnmowers give landscaping crews a dependable energy option with simpler fueling and less downtime.
PORTS
Propane can help power port equipment, vehicles, and backup systems with a dependable energy option available now.
