As an alternative fuel, propane has a lot to offer your northeastern Pennsylvania home. That’s because of how versatile, safe, and efficient propane is. You can also feel good about being a propane customer because using propane as a source of energy has environmental benefits.
Compared to a home using just electricity, a home using propane can produce up to 50% less in greenhouse gas emissions. That’s a big deal when you consider that a significant percentage (more than 40%, actually) of the electricity used in America is generated by coal-fired power plants. In fact, electricity is the second-leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Only transportation ranks higher. Additionally, coal-fired plants contribute to smog and acid rain. Propane doesn’t.
Consider the severe toll on the environment whenever there’s an oil spill. Unlike with gasoline, traditional heating oil, and diesel fuel, a propane spill doesn’t damage the environment. Propane is non-toxic. Instead of polluting the air, water, and soil or causing adversely affecting the surrounding plant, marine, or aquatic life, propane simply evaporates.
Energy efficiency is good for the environment. Propane appliances are extremely energy efficient—significantly more efficient than their electric counterparts. Also, when you calculate the energy used in the extraction, processing, and transportation to its point of use, propane is 87% efficient, and electricity is only 32% efficient.
