It's certainly possible, but why you'd want to is a different question entirely--you will lose energy in the conversion process no matter what you do, so you might as well burn the hydrogen directly (it burns cleaner, which propane won't always do).

Propane is often used as a feedstock for generating hydrogen, and the reaction is completely reversible, so you can (in simple terms) add carbon back to the hydrogen to end up with propane. The exact method for doing this can vary and it isn't done very often. Research is ongoing to find the most efficient method for generating propane and higher hydrocarbons from hydrogen and lower hydrocarbon feedstocks.

Neither the carbon, nor the oxygen atoms nor the hydrogenatoms match. ... If you are in any doubt, you could temporarily replace the group with a neutral letter such as X (which is not the symbol of a chemical element). Once the equation is ... Propane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and steam (water vapour):

Carbon and hydrogen can be converted to acetylene by Bredicts arc method at high temperature and pressure.

Treatment of acetylene with NaNH2 followed by methyl iodide gives propyne.

Hydrogenation of propyne gives propane.

The photochemical chlorination of propane produces a mixture of several compounds including 1-chloro propane an 2-chloro propane, if these compounds are separated and allow to react with alcoholic KOH the major product must be propene.
