PROPANE: THE ECO-FRIENDLY CHOICE

While many people love propane for its versatility and reliability, one more reason to get behind propane is that it’s environmentally friendly. In an age when extreme weather is becoming more common, ecosystems are compromised, and the Earth feels the effects of global warming, choosing an eco-friendly energy source is an important consideration. Learn why propane is a good choice for your home and the planet.
 

  • Propane is safe for the atmosphere. While propane is delivered as a liquid, it is vaporized when released into the air. This vapor has no ozone-harming effects and eventually dissipates, so it won’t contaminate water or sensitive environments.
  • Propane produces fewer emissions. Propane has a lower carbon content than other fossil fuels. That means fewer greenhouse gasses are emitted into the atmosphere when it burns. In fact, according to the Propane Education and Research Council, propane produces 52 percent fewer emissions than the equivalent amount of electricity. Overall, propane is one of the cleanest sources of energy available.

  • Propane is nontoxic. In its natural state, propane is colorless and odorless. A sulfur-based compound is added to propane to make leaks easy to detect.
  • Propane is energy-efficient. Propane powers home appliances more efficiently than other fossil fuels. For example, propane heats up more quickly and burns hotter than natural gas and electricity, so less of it is needed to heat a home. Since propane feels warmer, you won’t need to keep your thermostat set so high in the winter
