Propane > Electricity

And gasoline and diesel, too!

Here’s why propane makes so much sense: whether you use it 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. It’s true. Propane produces 43 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than using an equivalent amount of electricity generated from the grid. Because propane is so efficient and because it’s employed directly at the point of use, it reduces emissions economically, too. Propane autogas, for example, reduces more emissions per dollar spent than any other fuel.

No single energy source can solve the long-term challenges we face. Wind and solar are both promising, low-emissions renewable energy sources, but when it comes to heating water or powering a bus, something more is required. And that’s where low-emissions propane comes in. It’s a crucial part of the larger solution that includes renewables and other clean sources of energy. And because it’s reliable as well as powerful, propane is helping lead a clean fuel revolution in industries from landscaping to home construction, sparking innovations that will keep our planet cleaner for future generations.
