Propane Surcharge Monthly Update
Propane is a factored product and is produced either as a by product from the refinement of crude oil or through the extraction of natural gas from gas fields.
Propane is a traded product and varies in price depending on market forces.
A surcharge per cylinder has been introduced for propane cylinders to take into account changes to BOC's costs.
Decrease in surcharge
From the 3rd May 2013 the propane surcharge will decrease to £206 per tonne.
The surcharge is reviewed monthly and can increase or decrease to reflect changes in the ANSI Monthly Propane Index.
