Clean burning fuels are those that leave little contamination in the environment when they are consumed. The burning of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, is a major source of pollutants that contribute to smog, acid rain and climate change.
According to Environment Canada, pollutants that are created from the combustion of fossil fuels include sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals…and a number of other pollutants.
And one of the top alternative fuels we can use is propane. Propane is much better for the environment because it is totally clean-burning and produces far fewer emissions than oil.
It has a lower carbon content than fuel oil, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and ethanol and contains significantly less greenhouse gas emissions per productivity unit compared to other fuels.
Propane has a tiny carbon footprint and is highly efficient. It can play a major role in fighting climate change by offering homeowners a safe, reliable, and affordable alternative to burning oil.
Propane has a lower carbon footprint, producing 38% fewer emissions than oil, with low carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions. High efficiency propane furnaces emit 10,000 fewer pounds of carbon per year than standard oil-fueled furnaces.
