Propane: The Road to America's Energy Future...Today
The Kentucky Propane Fueling Station Cooperative is a statewide program administered by the Kentucky Propane Education and Research Council (KYPERC) to support school districts operating propane-powered transportation fleets. The Cooperative is designed to address a common operational challenge—access to reliable propane fueling during extended or out-of-district travel—by establishing a shared network of identified fueling locations across the Commonwealth. Participating districts gain access to information on available fueling sites at other school districts, through propane industry partners, and at commercial locations, enabling improved route planning and reduced trip limitations. The program does not involve KYPERC in fuel transactions; all fueling arrangements and costs are managed directly between participating entities. Participation is voluntary, provided at no cost, and requires only a willingness to collaborate, supporting efficient fleet operations and the long-term viability of propane school bus programs statewide.

Consumer Information
What is Propane?
For over 100 years propane has been warming and powering America. Now one of the most widely used fuels in the world, learn all about it.
Tankless Water Heaters
Water heating is one of the biggest users of energy. Tankless water heaters only work "on demand." If no hot water is called for, the unit is not burning fuel. When hot water is called for, the unit immediately begins to supply a nearly endless supply. These units can be used in residences and, by staging multiple units, in commercial applications as well. But how do they work? Click the link to find out how.

The video library contains a number of short video assets for consumer information and for marketers to use when talking to potential customers.
