propane is in an orange cylinder, when it has a screw in type valve, or green cylinder if it has the snap on type valve, eg for patio heaters and is generally branded as patio gas. Butane is usually in a blue cylinder, butane has similar properties to propane, but a lower boiling point, so generally freezes if the ambient temperature is too low and stops boiling off to gas.
Our major energy source in the UK is fossil fuels (coal oil and natural gas) which constitutes 2/3rds of our energy production Nuclear and renewable energy such as wind, hydroelectric and solar make up the remaining 1/3.

Each country will have its own colour code for gas cylinders, in the UK Helium is currently transported and stored in brown painted cylinders, however the process of changing to conform to new European regulations has already begun, these will eventually be grafite grey, with the cylinder label being the main identification for the gas within.
Alessandro Volta discovered methane in 1777.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Methane" is a name used to describe the gas molecule. The formula is CH4.Butane can be written with the formula of C2H6.Propane, the stuff you burn in the stove, has the formula of C3H8.Now do you notice any similarities in the naming of these three gases?Notice that Meth- , But- , and Prop- is the only difference, but the ending -ane is to describe the type of molecule it is. The naming had been standardized by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), so people can't name things like Buttworthium for fart gas.
