What is Renewable Propane?

And what are the benefits?

We are currently living through a time where people, companies and organizations are more aware than ever of what’s both good and bad for the environment. That applies to energy producers, which is why they have started to make and produce renewable propane. In fact, the supply of renewable propane has grown over recent years and it will continue to grow as more and more of it becomes readily available and accessible.

Renewable propane explained

Conventional propane and renewable propane are made from the same molecular structure. Therefore, renewable propane can take the place of conventional propane in any and all appliances. Conventional propane and renewable propane differ because renewable propane is sourced from renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils, animal oils, and other triglycerides. These raw materials contribute to renewable propane having a lower carbon intensity than conventional propane.

In the future, autogas fleets, commercial landscaping vehicles, and construction machines will all be fueled by renewable propane. The use of renewable propane will increase and become more and more common, which means that greenhouse gases will be reduced further and that is a huge plus in terms of climate change.

Why propane?

• Compared to non-gas energy, propane is more energy efficient. This makes it better for the environment and makes it a more cost-effective option.
• Propane makes less greenhouse gas emissions than electricity does. In fact, it makes 43% less! This is a big reduction that helps reduce greenhouse gases all around. Renewable propane takes this even one step further.
• Both propane and renewable propane are non-toxic, meaning that neither of them leave residue behind and they are not harmful to soil or water.
• Not only can propane be used when it comes to your heat, but it can also be used for stoves, clothes dryers, fireplaces, generators, grills, and pool heaters.
