Propane Facts for Central PA Homeowners
Did you know that October 7th is Propane Day? During the month of October, our team at Eshenaurs loves to celebrate everything propane is capable of!
Propane significantly lowers emissions
According to the Propane Education and Research Council, propane produces 52% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than electricity generation, 99% fewer particulate matter (PM) emissions than diesel-powered engines, and 50% fewer greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) [1] from residential propane heat compared to electricity. These harmful emissions that fossil fuels release into the atmosphere are linked to environmental concerns such as extreme weather conditions and a rise in life-threatening diseases in cardiovascular and respiratory health [2].
Due to this, propane is considered a clean-burning and eco-friendly fuel that is safer for your health and the environment, as well as for fueling your home or business. If you use propane to power your home furnace, water heater, stovetop, or fireplace, you can rest assured that you are making an excellent, safe choice for your energy needs.

Propane can be used in endless applications
Did you previously believe that propane fuel was only useful for backyard appliances like gas grills, patio heaters, and fire pit tables? Although those are a few fun ways to use propane, they barely cover a fraction of what this versatile fuel is capable of powering! Propane is used for a variety of energy needs, from fueling transportation and delivery vehicles to powering farms and agriculture equipment, construction projects, landscaping, and residential heating and appliances.

Renewable energy with propane is underway
It is only a matter of time before renewable propane becomes widely available to Central Pennsylvania residents, and you can be certain that the energy experts at Eshenaurs will be among the first to secure this energy solution for our customers. Much like conventional propane, renewable propane is created by refining other fuels. In this case, biodiesel refineries can make renewable propane from sustainable sources such as plant oils, animal fats, and used cooking oils. This means we can use this same great fuel as a drop-in replacement for traditional propane applications with an even lower carbon impact on the environment. We look forward to advancements in the propane industry that will make it possible to create renewable propane on a large scale very soon!
