Fact from Fiction: Propane’s Eco-Friendly Benefits
Propane is a great energy source in terms of reliability, efficiency, and affordability, but when it comes to propane’s environmental impact, do you know fact from fiction? Not only is propane better for local North Texas homeowners, the longevity of heating equipment and appliances, and our local and domestic economy, but it is also better for the environment. This month, as we celebrate Earth Day, you can feel good about using eco-friendly propane. Read this blog from Cadenhead Servis Gas to learn the facts about the environmental benefits of this versatile fuel.
Learn The Facts About Eco-Friendly Propane
Fact: Propane Produces 52% Fewer Greenhouse Gas Emissions Than Grid Electricity
In addition to meeting the rigorous standards set by the Clean Air Act of 1990 and all clean air energy standards for burned fuels by the Environmental Protection Agency, propane produces 52 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) than grid-generated electricity[1]. Not only does propane reduce GHG emissions, but it also produces 99 percent fewer particulate matter (PM) emissions than diesel-powered port tractor applications[2].
Fact: Propane Is a Non-Toxic Energy Solution
Propane is clean and non-toxic to the environment. This nature-friendly fuel does not pollute waterways or sensitive habitats[3]. Additionally, switching to propane autogas, for example, instead of diesel or gasoline, significantly reduces NOx emissions, and today’s engines are 90 percent cleaner than mandated EPA standards[4].
Fiction: Propane In Not a Sustainable Energy Solution
Propane’s domestic production and abundance make it a sustainable solution that can easily be paired with other types of energy sources while providing reliability that both homeowners and commercial businesses can count on. Proven to produce fewer emissions than grid electricity and other burned fuels, propane is an obvious path to a more sustainable future.
