Propane 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.

Propane's environmentally friendly traits have earned it a spot as an approved alternative clean fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.

Also, propane is nontoxic and insoluble in water, offering minimal risks to aquifers, ground water supplies, and soil. Because it quickly vaporizes within a pressurized container and is released as a gas, it doesn't spill, pool, or leave a residue.

Propane creates less pollution, providing Americans with cleaner, more breathable air. With propane, you can feel good about protecting the environment for generations to come.
