Looking for a clean, environmentally beneficial fuel for your home or business? Propane is a safe, non-toxic, clean-burning fuel that is a great source of energy. Choosing to use propane can help you reduce your heating and hot water bills since propane water heaters can be twice as efficient as electric models.
Propane has a low carbon content, producing minimal emissions, and is therefore safer for the environment than other fuels. Air pollutants are one of the most serious environmental problems in the world, and choosing a fuel option that helps to reduce air pollutants will reduce the negative effects on the quality of ecosystems worldwide.
Propane emits 60% less carbon monoxide(CO) than gasoline, produces virtually no sulphur, 98% less particulate matter than diesel and if released propane is unable to contaminate water supplies or topsoil. It is an excellent alternative for those looking for a more environmentally friendly source of energy.
Canada is now a world leader in the fight against climate change by fighting emissions, and bringing in new ideas and innovations to help solve this worldwide problem. Propane plays an important role in reaching climate change objectives and the Canadian Propane Association supports the government efforts to reduce Ontario’s carbon footprint.
"We believe that propane is an important element in Ontario's low-carbon future. Propane is a cost-effective, low-emission source of energy that supports the livelihood of thousands of Ontarians and generates billions of dollars for the local economy," said Andrea Labelle, Executive Director of the Canadian Propane Association.
Propane is a smart environmental choice when it comes to emissions; it is not a greenhouse gas, therefore having no impact on the environment if prematurely released into the atmosphere prior to combustion.
Propane is a good environmental choice for home and cottage owners, businesses, and even for commercial vehicles.
Propane can play a vital role by:
- Helping to lower emissions in our largest emitting sector – transportation – by utilizing low-emission vehicle technology.
- Strengthening infrastructure resiliency planning and risk management by providing a back-up energy source at vulnerable public facilities.
- Acting as a reliable and portable back-up energy source to be used in conjunction with renewables.
- Lowering emissions and improving health outcomes in rural and remote communities that use diesel or fuel oil.
