Is propane thermal energy?

Propane is sort of a type of gas. It can be used for heating homes or manufacturing, so it must be thermal. If you want to know if it's kinetic or potential, I' pretty sure it's potential, which means it has stored energy which can be released and turned into kinetic energy.
