Understand Propane's Role in the National Energy Conversation

Propane is a low carbon energy source that can produce significantly lower green-house gas emissions than diesel, gasoline, and electricity in a wide range of applications.  Propane is powering clean innovations in engine technology, power generation, home heating and cooling, and more.  In the future, propane is positioned to be even more green.  Renewable propane, made today from waste oils and fats, produces an energy source identical to the composition of propane, boasting up to four times lower carbon intensity compared to conventional propane. Measuring a fuel’s carbon intensity helps to capture emissions across the full life cycle of an energy carrier — and reveals the truth that conventional propane is often a cleaner residential energy choice than grid electricity.
