Why Choose Propane
Propane is a sustainable energy solution that’s already here! Propane is clean, safe, and environmentally friendly. For example, in Massachusetts, propane heat produces fewer emissions compared to electric models.* It even enhances U.S. energy independence. Offering reliable, accessible, and affordable energy, propane supports our transition to a low-carbon future.
The Clean Heat Standard (CHS) should incentivize propane as a low-carbon, alternative heating source to work alongside other renewable energy options. Propane is ecologically responsible and has numerous benefits:
Safe
Non-toxic and posing no health risks to humans or the environment, propane is safe and does not affect water, soil, or air quality.
Clean
Propane is energy efficient, a beneficial by-product of renewable resources, and burns cleanly. Data shows it produces 52% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than grid electricity.*
Resilient
Reliable, storable, and transportable, propane is ideal for remote or disaster-affected areas, while U.S. production enhances energy independence.
Versatile
Equitable for communities and highly adaptable, propane can be used for heating, cooking, and powering various appliances, making it an all-in-one solution.
Propane and Renewables
Using a variety of eco-friendly energy options is the most effective strategy to lower emissions and help solve a variety of environmental energy challenges. Propane can work seamlessly with renewable energy while providing reliability that families can count on, no matter what.
KEEP PROPANE
Include Propane in the Clean Heat Standard
Including propane in the CHS as a vital alternative energy source allows our community to forge a more realistic path toward a low-carbon future that focuses on reducing emissions year by year, and it can help to reduce our carbon emissions immediately. Let your local state officials know you want the Clean Heat Standard to incentivize propane.
