A low-carbon future is something we can all agree is good for our planet, but how do we meet the increasing energy needs of the world and reduce carbon in our atmosphere? Propane is one solution. Its low-carbon, high-energy output makes it a perfect fuel for your home. Propane’s versatility is why nearly 12 million U.S. households use it for high-intensity energy appliances like water heaters and furnaces. Can propane help lead the world toward a low-carbon future? Yes, Propane Can Do That®.

Propane is an excellent way to reduce your emissions while meeting your energy needs. It’s a clean, nontoxic energy source that will not contaminate soil or groundwater.

Propane is an approved clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act. Substituting propane for other fuels such as gasoline and fuel oil is an economical and viable step toward cleaner air. Using propane reduces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and air pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.

Reliable
For millions of Americans every day, propane continues to deliver what is most important to customers choosing their energy: reliability. Even during extreme weather and natural disasters, propane reliably heats and powers homes, businesses, and farms independent of the electric grid.

America produces more than enough propane to meet demand. In fact, the U.S. is propane’s leading producer. Propane is an abundant "bridge fuel," making it a clean-burning alternative to gasoline and diesel that can address energy challenges while long-term renewable technologies are developed.

Despite sharp declines in oil prices, domestic propane production is expected to continue to grow rapidly, keeping downward pressure on average propane prices relative to oil prices.

Propane production keeps quality jobs in our country. As of 2018, over 97,000 workers across the U.S. are employed in propane trade, wholesale, and sales. If you're looking for a job that takes you places and makes an impact for customers, learn more about joining the industry.
