Propane’s Safety
Propane serves as a stable, secure, and eco-friendly power source. There are several aspects that make propane one of the safest fuels available for a variety of applications. When handled and stored correctly, propane is a useful, efficient, and safe energy source.
Propane Safety Features
Propane is considered a safe fuel for its low toxicity, added odor, and eco-friendliness. Propane tanks and appliances also come with added safety features to keep homes and businesses protected.
Propane is non-toxic and does not harm the environment.
Low toxicity:
Propane is not a threat to land, water, air, humans, or animals. It’s non-toxic and doesn’t produce harmful emissions when it’s burned.
Added odor:
Propane itself is naturally odorless and colorless, but a scent is added to it to help individuals identify potential leaks and act appropriately.
Tank features:
Propane tanks come with added features such as safety valves and regulators, which will prevent the excess flow of fuel should there be a leak.
Environmental safety features:
Propane is considered safe for the environment because leaks are unlikely to cause harm to the environment. Propane does not pool but dissipates into the air unlike gasoline or oil spills.
Add Propane to the Clean Heat Standard and Prioritize Safety in Clean Energy
TAKE ACTIONAdvocate for Propane’s Inclusion in the Clean Heat Standard
Propane is safe and non-toxic, and it does not harm the environment. It should be incentivized as a vital energy source in the CHS. Let your local state officials know you want the Clean Heat Standard to incentivize propane.
