Propane is the Environmentally Friendly Energy for Everyone
A healthy environment benefits everyone — and propane is an excellent way to reduce emissions while reliably meeting energy needs.
A Clean Energy Solution for Tomorrow – Available Today
Propane is a low-carbon fuel alternative, producing far fewer emissions than the equivalent amount of electricity generated from the U.S. grid. Plus, it won’t contaminate soil or groundwater because it’s non-toxic and non-poisonous.
And propane’s environmentally friendly benefits don’t end there — major advances are being made today for more renewable propane in the future, sourced from used cooking oil and other waste products, for a carbon-neutral fuel that adds no new carbon to the atmosphere when burned.
Lower Emissions that Fuel Your Bottom Line
Whether used to heat water for your family, power a farm, or run a fleet of mowers, propane produces significantly fewer emissions than diesel, gasoline, or even electricity. In fact, using propane produces 43% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than using an equivalent amount of electricity generated from the grid.
That’s good for the environment, but because propane is so efficient and is employed directly at the point of use, its reduced emissions are also good for your bottom line — propane autogas, for example, reduces more emissions per dollar spent than any other fuel.
A Diverse Energy Mix Is a Reliable Energy Mix
No single energy source can solve every environmental challenge. Propane can complement solar and wind systems to reduce emissions while providing reliability — especially during challenging weather conditions. Low-emissions propane is a crucial part of meeting the challenge of creating a more environmentally friendly future, along with renewables and other clean sources of energy. With its power, reliability and versatility, propane is an essential part of a diverse mix enabling cleaner fuels to be used in industries ranging from landscaping to home construction. And with important innovations on the horizon, propane will serve the needs of future generations with even more sustainable solutions.

Cooking with propane is cleaner and better for the environment.
Propane cooking results in lower CO2 emissions than electric cooking. This is true because a significant portion of electricity production comes from coal or oil-fired generation plants which release CO2 emissions as part of the generation process. Based on typical cooking usage levels and the emissions which electricity generation creates, propane cooking has roughly 30 percent fewer CO2 emissions.

For comfort, consistency, and efficiency, you can depend on propane furnaces and boilers.
Propane furnaces offer best-in-class efficiency, with ratings from 90 to 98 percent, and will provide comfortable, even, and consistent heat during even the coldest weather.

Better more Reliable Hot Water Starts With Propane.
Propane storage tank and tankless systems heat water more efficiently, and with fewer emissions compared with other options.
Propane water heaters use less energy, cost less to operate, and have fewer emissions compared with electric models.
