Propane is Clean and Efficient.
Propane has long been recognized as the "green" energy. By using this exceptional
energy, homeowners can help cut emissions and protect the environment.
- Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990
and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992.
- Propane is nontoxic and insoluble in water. Because it is released as a gas, it doesn't
spill, pool, or leave a residue.
Propane is a Friendly Fuel.
- Propane exhaust creates 60 percent
to 70 percent less smog-producing
hydrocarbons
than gasoline,
according to studies by the Southwest Research Institute. - Compared to gasoline, propane yields 12 percent less carbon dioxide, about 20 percent
less nitrous oxide, and as much as 60 percent less carbon monoxide. (World LP Gas
Association, January 2003, and California Energy Commission, January 2003)
- Propane cuts emissions of toxins and carcinogens like benzene and toluene by up to
96 percent, compared to gasoline, according to studies by the Southwest Research
Institute.
