Agricultural

Nearly 900,000 farms in the United States use propane, and with good reason. Farmers can depend on propane to cost effectively and responsibly run their operations both in and out of the field.
In climate-controlled chicken houses and green houses, reliable space heat is critical to maintaining the health and productivity of chickens and plants in colder months. As farmers and growers seek more efficient farming practices, there is an increased need for more energy efficient and cost-effective heaters.

Great Value

Great Value

  • On average, propane costs about half as much per BTU as electricity and propane gas fireplaces cost 30 to 60 percent less per hour of operation than do wood burning fireplaces.
  • With propane you get more hot water from your tankless water heater because it recovers 2½ times faster than an electric one, and it costs about 30 percent less to operate. You can reheat a whole tankful of water in just 20 minutes with propane, compared to an hour with electricity.
  • Overall, propane fuel for fleet vehicles typically costs less than conventional or reformulated gasoline. Many states offer fuel tax incentives to encourage the use of clean fuels, thus further reducing operating costs.

Propane vs. Electrical

Propane vs. Electrical

  • By relying on propane for various applications in your home, including heating and power for your appliances, you’re lessening your dependence on the electric grid in the event of an electric power outage. With propane you can still have heat, hot water and hot food during outages even in the worst of weather conditions.
  • On average, a propane heating system is 20 degrees warmer compared to electric heat pumps that dispense cooler air.
  • Propane gas furnaces last an average of 20 years, while electric heat pumps last an average of 14 years. It also costs less to repair a propane gas furnace than an electric heat pump.

Benefits of Propane

Benefits of Propane

  • Propane is an affordable fuel, costing up to half as much as electricity and providing more output.
  • Propane is a reliable, efficient, and widely available fuel that does not require  connection to the electrical grid. Heat, hot water, and cooking appliances are always available, regardless of the weather.
  • Over 90 percent of the propane used in America is made in the U.S., reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
  • Convenient and portable, propane is an energy source that can be used virtually anywhere, from the country to the city.

Environmentally Friendly

Environmentally Friendly

  • Propane is an approved, clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act as well as the National Energy Policy Act of 1992.
  • Propane is one of the lightest, simplest hydrocarbons in existence, and, as a result, is one of the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. 
  • Burning coal to generate electricity releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Per pound of fuel burned, coal emits more than twice the amount of carbon dioxide as does propane. By using propane gas instead of electricity, consumers can cut emissions and help preserve the environment. 
  • Propane gas is nontoxic and insoluble in water, so it's not harmful to soil and water. Because propane does not endanger the environment, the placement of propane tanks either above or below ground is not regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. 
  • According to the EPA, much of the sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, which produces acid rain, is attributable to coal-fired electricity-generating facilities. In contrast, neither the process by which propane is produced nor the combustion of propane gas produces significant acid rain contaminants. 

Propane Safety

Propane Safety

  • Propane equipment and appliances are manufactured to rigorous safety standards.
  • Propane has a narrow range of flammability when compared with other petroleum products. In order to ignite, the propane-air mix must contain from 2.2 to 9.6 percent propane vapor. If the mixture contains less than 2.2 percent gas, it is too lean to burn. If it contains more than 9.6 percent, it is too rich to burn. 
  • Propane won't ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches at least 940 degrees Fahrenheit. In contrast, gasoline will ignite when the source of ignition reaches only 430 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • If liquid propane leaks, it doesn't puddle but instead vaporizes and dissipates into the air. 
  • Because it is released from a pressured container as a vapor, propane can't be ingested like gasoline or alcohol fuels. 
  • Because propane is virtually odorless and colorless in its natural state, a commercial odorant is added so propane can be detected if it leaks from its container.

The Versatility of Propane

The Versatility of Propane

  • Propane is used in 48 million households as well as many businesses for water and space heating, indoor and outdoor cooking, clothes drying, and backup power.
  • Propane autogas is an approved clean alternative fuel under the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the third most popular vehicle fuel worldwide behind gasoline and diesel. 
  • Propane is commonly used to fuel buses, light- and medium-duty trucks, vans, shuttles, taxicabs, and police and government vehicles. 
  • Landscape contractors trust propane to stand up to the toughest jobs daily. Sixteen of the top mower brands offer propane- powered options. 
  • Nearly 900,000 farms in the United States use propane to run pumps and engines, heat buildings, and dry and process crops. 
  • Propane is easy to transport and can be used in areas beyond the natural gas mains. Because it is 270 times more compact as a liquid than as a gas, it is economical to store and transport as a liquid.
