Various geothermal power plants use pentane as a fuel, owing to easy availability and low cost of the pentane-based fuel. In addition, the rate of automobile sales is increasing rapidly, which has correspondingly increased the consumption of fuels such as gasoline and other automobile fuels. This in turn has propelled the demand for pentane, owing to the fact that pentane is one of the key compounds required for the blending of gasoline and formulation of various fuels.
