Propane as a Clean Alternative Fuel

Propane was established in the 1990 Clean Air Act as well as the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 as a clean burning fuel. Of all fossil fuels, propane is one of the lightest and simplest hydrocarbons making it one of the cleanest burning fuels on the market. Since many electric companies rely on coal energy, choosing propane can cut a consumers emissions greatly and help preserve the environment. Propane gas is also a nontoxic substance that is NOT harmful to soil or water. Since propane does not endanger the environment, tanks can be placed underground or above ground and do not have to be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.
