Propane Is a Friend to the Environment
Perhaps the most important advantage of propane is that it is an extremely clean fuel. It emits minimal sulfur oxides and has ultra-low emissions of particulates, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. It also burns much cleaner than gasoline, home heating oil, and diesel fuel. Since propane emits less carbon dioxide per Btu than gasoline, residential fuel, coal, kerosene, jet fuel, and diesel fuel when burned, propane is an excellent fuel for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Electricity produces twice as much carbon dioxide as propane per pound of fuel burned.
