Chances are you already know what a versatile and cost-effective fuel propane is. Perhaps Hocon has already installed a propane appliance in your Connecticut home. But do you also know what environmental benefits propane offers as compared to electricity? In celebration of Earth Day, let’s take a look at some of propane’s environmental benefits.
The advantages of propane are clear when you compare homes that use propane to homes that don’t. In the case of an all-electric home versus one that uses propane for heating, the propane home will generate up to 30% fewer carbon emissions. A home that uses propane not just for heating but also for water heating, cooking, clothes drying, and space heating will produce up to 50% fewer carbon emissions than an all-electric house. Why? Propane appliances are extremely efficient. That efficiency means a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, as the lightest and simplest hydrocarbon on earth, propane is one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels. It produces almost no greenhouse gases.
Consider propane’s superior efficiency with regards to the following appliances:
All that efficiency adds up to make propane appliances better for the environment than their electric counterparts and better for your budget.
Additionally, in the rare event of a leak, propane doesn’t damage the environment. It doesn’t harm the air, soil, water, plants, or water-based organisms. It just dissipates.
In addition to offering a comprehensive line of propane appliances, Hocon also provides reliable propane delivery at a reasonable price for the residents of central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. You can also call on us for appliance repairs. Whatever you need, we’re here for you.
You can count on Hocon. Contact us today to learn more about the propane appliances and services we offer.
Propane is everywhere. It’s versatile, efficient, and one of the cleanest fuel options out there. There’s a lot propane can do for your Connecticut home. It can run a variety of appliances inside and outside your home—from the clothes dryer to the grill.
Since propane appliances run more efficiently and therefore more cost-effectively than their electric counterparts, using propane is good for your budget and the environment. Propane is also a plentiful resource created here in the US, so you don’t need to worry that geopolitical events will interrupt or affect its availability. And because it’s a natural by-product of energy production, it doesn’t require any expensive infrastructure for its production or delivery.
At the chemical level, renewable propane is practically identical to traditional propane. The two can be mixed and used interchangeably. All of your propane appliances are able to use renewable propane right now without any modifications. The primary difference between traditional propane and renewable propane is their source.
Renewable propane is made from a mix of waste residues and sustainably sourced materials like agricultural waste products, cooking oil, and meat fats. It is often a coproduct of biodiesel production. Because renewable propane has so many natural sources, like traditional propane, it has the potential to be widely available. And because renewable propane isn’t made from fossil fuels, it presents several advantages to the environment.
Renewable propane is beneficial to the environment in two main ways:
America has a few renewable propane refineries, and more are in the works. For example, California’s AltAir Fuels produces renewable propane as a coproduct of sustainable jet fuel. In Europe, even more commercial production plants are being developed. Renewable propane represents the next step towards a zero-carbon-emissions future. Visit RenewablePropaneGas.com to learn more.
Propane is clean-burning, cost-effective, versatile, abundant, and efficient. Hocon is a reliable propane provider serving the residents of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.
