- Extreme weather events may result in service disruptions and delays
- Evolving consumer preferences towards even lower-emission products could affect demand for propane
- Risk of fossil fuel litigation regulatory exposure, and supply chain disruptions
- Increased upstream costs of oil and natural gas as geopolitical issues continue to strain global supply chains
- Shift in stakeholder perception of propane to lower emitting products
- Increased stakeholder attention and negative feedback on hydrocarbons
