Propane Exports Reach Record Levels in 2024

The U.S. exported, on average, 1.8 million barrels per day of propane in 2024 – the highest figure on record since the Energy Information Administration (EIA) began tracking exports in 1973. For comparison, over the last four weeks of the heating season, domestic propane demand has averaged 1.5 million barrels per day. Propane exports have increased yearly since 2007. America is the world’s premier propane supplier, and the top destinations for U.S. propane are Japan, China, Mexico, and South Korea.

Domestically, propane remains a clean and affordable way to provide energy to residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, farms, and to power both stationary and mobile engine applications. For more information on propane’s uses, visit www.propane.com.
