With fossil fuels quickly depleting and damaging our environment, more and more people are looking for a cleaner and safer source of energy. Propane, a byproduct of crude oil and natural gas, is the solution. This resource produces low emissions and is incredibly versatile, making it perfect for homes, businesses, agricultural sites, and more. The following are just a few of propane’s benefits:
- Propane produces 43% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than using an equivalent amount of electricity generated from the grid.
- Propane yields 12% less carbon dioxide, 20% less nitrous oxide, 60% less carbon monoxide, and 60-70% less smog-producing hydrocarbons than gasoline.
- Propane is nontoxic and insoluble in water, meaning it doesn’t spill, pool, or leave a residue in the event of a leak. In this situation, it naturally dissipates into the air.
- Propane is not harmful to soil or water.
- Propane has the lowest flammability range of any listed alternative fuel and won’t ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches 940° F.
- Propane is 90% domestically produced.
