The Propane Education & Research Council is a mid-sized nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the safe and efficient use of odorized propane gas as a preferred energy resource. It pursues both consumer and employee education while supporting the development and commercialization of propane-related technologies. The council was established by Congress through the Propane Education and Research Act in 1996. Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, the organization serves propane providers and their customers by advancing safety, reliability, and environmental considerations in the industry. In early 2026, PERC launched the Every Day Safe program to help propane companies strengthen their safety culture. It functions as an industry body within the propane sector that focuses on education and technology-driven improvements rather than marketing.
