How the fuel benefits the environment
Now more than ever people are taking a second look at whether or not the products that they use on a regular basis are detrimental to the environment. This is why many of us are choosing to use non-toxic products, drive hybrid cars and cut down on our overall carbon footprint. So does opting to use propane over other fuels play into this?
What makes propane environmentally friendly
The short answer to the above question is yes. Propane is environmentally friendly. In fact, the fuel has many environmental benefits. Here is a look at some of them:
- Yes, propane can leak, but even when that happens it doesn’t pool or leave any form of residue behind. On top of that, it is non-toxic. What this all means is that it is not harmful to any surrounding plants, soil or other living organisms.
- The carbon content of propane is considerably lower than the carbon content of other fuels (this includes ethanol, gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel). This low carbon content was a reason propane become declared a ‘clean’ fuel and was added to the Clean Air Act in 1990.
- Propane powered appliances tend to get their jobs done at a faster speed than they would if they were using an alternate fuel. This means that they require less energy and using less energy is advantageous to the environment.
As you can see, using propane is a sure fire way to minimize the impact you are having on the environment. On top of that, the fact that it is clean burning helps your appliances and equipment last longer than they otherwise would!
