If the 19th century was shaped by coal and the 20th century by oil, the 21st century, energy experts predict, will be shaped by natural gas and propane. Here are some of the reasons why.
Gas reduces our dependency on crude oil.
Our island state is over 90 percent dependent upon crude oil, which is imported from both foreign and domestic locations. By using natural gas or propane, you’re doing your part to lessen Hawaii’s dependency on oil and electricity—without sacrificing convenience or quality.
Gas has a wide range of applications.
There’s a vast selection of commercial appliances that run on gas energy: water heaters, cooking ranges, clothes dryers, rice cookers, stock pot stoves, woks, salamander broilers, grills, lighting, and more. Overall, gas appliances have many desirable features and options.
Gas energy is cost efficient.
On average, electricity can cost more than 1.5 times more than gas energy per BTU (British Thermal Unit). Using gas equipment means efficiency for your business, and can save you money in the long run.
Gas is a reliable energy source.
The Gas Company has a continual supply of natural gas and propane to meet Hawaii’s gas energy needs. With gas, you won’t need to worry about running out of energy. You can even continue to operate your gas appliances throughout an electric power outage.
