If you’re looking at ways for your home and lifestyle to become more environmentally friendly, take a close look at the energy sources used in and around your home. Propane is better for the environment than electricity because it produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Exactly how much better is propane for the environment than other energy sources? Here are just a few facts:

• –  Propane produces 43 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than using an equivalent amount of electricity generated from the U.S. grid.
• –  Propane-fueled furnaces emit up to 50 percent fewer nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and 82 percent fewer sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions than electric furnaces.
• –  Over its lifespan, a propane clothes dryer saves more than 2,000 pounds of CO2 emissions and 20 percent in energy costs compared to electric models.
• –  Propane-fueled mowers reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 17 percent compared to gasoline-fueled mowers.
• –  A propane-fueled gas grill emits 50% less carbon dioxide than a charcoal barbecue.
