Propane is Powering A Cleaner World
Caring for the environment is a responsibility we all share.
When you choose propane—one of the cleanest energy sources available today—you take action to create positive change.
You can make an immediate and practical impact on the environment by switching to propane.
As a low-carbon alternative fuel, propane produces far fewer greenhouse gas emissions than most other energy sources. In addition, propane is a non-poisonous, non-toxic fuel that won’t contaminate soil or groundwater, making it safe to use everywhere!
In the future, manufacturers will produce more propane from renewable resources. They create renewable propane by refining waste oils and fats into a fuel that is chemically identical to petroleum-based propane, yet entirely carbon neutral.
“Propane produces 43% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than electricity.”
No matter how you use it—whether to heat water, power a farm, or run a mower fleet—propane generates far fewer emissions than diesel, gasoline, or electricity. Compared to electricity from the grid, propane emits 43% fewer greenhouse gases per equivalent energy use. Its efficiency and on-site use allow it to reduce emissions more economically. For instance, propane autogas lowers emissions per dollar more than any other fuel.
We can’t rely on one solution—or one energy source—to solve the long-term energy and environmental challenges ahead. Wind and solar are both promising, low-emission renewable energy sources, but when it comes to heating water or powering a bus, additional technologies are needed. That’s where low-emission propane plays a critical role. It supports a broader clean energy mix that includes renewables and other sustainable sources. It’s a crucial part of the larger solution that provides for renewables and other clean sources of energy. Because propane delivers reliable, high-performance energy, it now drives clean fuel innovation across industries—from landscaping to home construction. These innovations are helping keep our planet cleaner for generations to come.
